    Is this right - we play Port Adelaide and Stkilda twice in the first 12 rounds?
    Yes. New Policy of the AFL. They have two clubs meeting for the first time for the season in Round 22.

        No they didn't, they took a game "HOME GAME" from the SCG. We have the same amount of games in Victoria as 07, 06, 05 and 04.

        Don't stir up needless Sydney vs Melbourne crap

          They basically moved a game from the G to the Dome. Which is true, because we are playing Collingwood at the Dome this year rather than the G.

          The TV brake up is crap, that much is true.....(we await for CTS)

              Which is why I think it is worse - just one game at the MCG!

                I am shocked as to why there was a need for the early game in 2008. Fox just have pointless filler until the twilight game.

                Also, surprising we play two early sunday matches at the MCG. Don't think the MCG has ever been used before the 1.10pm match.

                    Good draw for us.

                    Only 1 of the last 6 games is away (I'm counting Canberra as our 2nd home).

                    Good Telstra Stadium games: WC (easy beats now they dont have a midfield), Essendon (easy beats), Collingwood (Damn pies consider us easy beats) and Geelong (premier, good rivalry from 2005, and hopefully hungover).

                      From AFL.COM

                      "Sydney Swans
                      The Swans will play an extra match at Telstra Stadium in 2008 as the club continues its push into western Sydney.

                      Bigger crowds and contractual arrangements also necessitated the increase from three games at the former Olympic stadium, with matches against West Coast, Essendon, Collingwood and Geelong all certain to draw big numbers.

                      Paul Roos? side, after being knocked out in an elimination final in 2007, will need every win in what looks a tough opening few weeks to their 2008 campaign.

                      In the first nine rounds the Swans meet Port Adelaide twice and travel to Geelong. They also have away trips against the Kangaroos, St Kilda and the Brisbane Lions.

                      While the majority of the Swans? matches in the back half of the season are at home, they face Collingwood twice in the space of eight weeks ? just as they did in 2007."

                        Down to 4 day games now in Sydney. It's a Sydney tradition that has been lost and is very disappointing IMO. 5 or 6 would be a better balance, better for young families. It's probably the end of a membership or two from me, it's simply not worth it for just 4 games.

                              Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
                              Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                                They have stuffed up the fixture Excel spreadsheet thing for the Club by Club.

                                States MCG on that one, two weeks in a row.
