Not for me thx.

I'd prefer to watch the reserves.

Can't really understand why anybody would want to drink in an overpriced bar when you can drink at a different overpriced bar 100m away and watch your team play.

[BAM_BAM]

I'm with BBB, but does everyone realise the ressies are starting at 2.15pm as they have a defences match scheduled to be played between them and the Seniors.

I'll be the one waving the flag on the eastern wing northern end of the ground if anyone's there early.

They did this last year and we sat there for all three games. It wasn't too bad actually.

Mmmmmmmm Beeeeeeer

Bam_Bam, source for the 2:15 start???

Can't find anything on swans website (there's a shock), the Telstra Stadium site say's gates open at 4:00 and Sporting Pulse website (AFL Canberra) has it down for a 4:00 start.

I just rang Swans office and the recorded message said the gates are a 2:15 opening.

Guess I'll just get there at 2:00 and see what's happening.

We need to keep Robbie as far away from footballs for as long as possible both pre and post game...so the Brewery is probably a safer option than inside the ground

I've just emailed some friends to see if we can meet at the Brewery so I can do a spell on Robbie-watch. What about mini-footballs: should I treat them as a significant threat? Or is it just big Lions footies?

I still can't believe that I must have left Jules just minutes before that happened at the Gabba. And I had some non-footy local friends that I nonchalantly led across the ground during kick-to-kick saying "keep an eye out for footballs".

I'll be there at 4pm!

What flight are you on Robbie?

I'm flying up VB 12.15 Saturday and due to go home at 8.15 Sunday but will try to get an earlier flight so I get home in time for the march.

Cher, I'm flying up tomorrow morning, so I can spend tomorrow doing a bit of overdue shopping. On Sunday I fly back on the 9.15am flight to Melbourne.

As to those of you worry about me, I wouldn't worry too much, because since I got back from Brisbane, my brother broke his hand hitting in the back of the head, didn't feel a thing. I think the ball got lucky.

we heard an announcment at Manuka early on Sunday, we arrived a tad early (10.30am, I'm thinking of having the lead surgically removed from my foot). I kept an eye out for updates since then. Had seen or heard nothing as of yesterday lunch so I phoned the office and spoke to one of the girls who confirmed the start for me.
