Pity it is going to be such a hard game to win - a win is always much better when you are there. But enjoy the atmosphere.It is a great ground.

That'll be a really memorable victory to see!

Depends. If you want to send all your dollars to the club, contact the Melbourne office and see what they say. They may sell them - I'm not sure.

If you want to get one cheap, avoid the actual match vendors - like everything at the footy they are dear. Same goes for the AFL shops. If you're looking for something easy, though, you could go there. Myer will be in a similar price range, I'd imagine.

A few years back, Airport West was the only K-Mart in Melbourne that stocked Swans gear. Not sure if that has changed: would need to ring K-Mart's head office here in Melbourne to see what they stock where... you'll get a good price though, just depends whether you can be bothered venturing into the suburbs if that's what is required.

You can try the F1 Shop in the city - they have all clubs and are pretty decently priced on some stuff. Melbourne Sports Depot (is that still the name?) stock footy stuff - again, you're best off ringing them and finding out if/where they have Swans stuff.

Hope that helps.

I'll be there as well. It looks like there will be plenty down from Sydney for this game, as heaps of people I have spoken have already booked flights etc etc.

The pre-match function at the Colonial Hotel on King St will be jumping no doubt. (Will have to get Pete to speed up a bit so we can get there on time.
