Sydney V Melbourne...a blockbuster!

[swansrock4eva]

I'll be there! Flying down Wednesday, not sure when I'm going back yet tho. Totally looking forward to it!

Having Aaron Davey out is a huge plus for us. He gives the D's a lot of drive.

We have beaten Melbourne in Melbourne in the past two years so we should be able to get a third... or will we?

This season's been very jittery for us, that's for sure. Should we be weary of Essendon, who up to the weekend were on course to become the worst team in AFL history? One one hand, it's a game that looks easily winnable for us. On the other, the Bombers are coming off a drought-breaking win and could come fired up.

Four years, actually. They haven't beaten us there since 2001.

True, we haven't beaten them in Sydney since 2003, but anyway.

I'll be there on the wing in the Southern Stand. There are always plenty of Swans there too.

I'm also going down. Leaving Saturday morning, returning Saturday night. Should be fanatstic!! On my usual flights. DJ 810 @ 715am, and returning on DJ893 @815pm
This will defiantely be my last trip this year, I have to give the credit card a rest before I go on holiday in September. I had orginally booked for the Geelong game, but bloody DeathStar cancelled my flights, and ended up asking for my money back.
A enjoyable, but long day out.

It's a given that no matter the financial, work holiday situation etc. that if the Swans are playing deep in september, I will be there even as a pauper!!

I was lucky enough to be there last year, so if they make it this year, I won't feel as bad. The Grand Final also falls on my birthday this year, so it could be a double celebration.
I've alreadt spent in excess of over $1500 on travel this year to go to Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide, and for a 22 year old that doesn't earn the big bucks, that is a lot of money!!
I promised myself that this year I would cut back, but didn't keep it.
My choice was a possible grand final or 2 weeks in America and a 7 night cruise to Mexico. Personally I think I have made the right choice.
