2008 Fixture is released

[Missy]

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.

I agree. Sunday afternoons watching the Swannies at the SCG in the sun with a beer in my hand is my absoloute favourite thing in the world!

That's disappointing. Most of our games will be with the yellow football now!

I couldn't agree more. No where is my beer?

Is this right - we play Port Adelaide and Stkilda twice in the first 12 rounds?

We also play West Coast twice in the first 12 rounds. Weird!!!

And we do not play well at night esp one BBB

It gets more crap for Melbourne-based supporters every year.

Yep, I don't know whether I will bother with renewing my membership next season. I'm not paying $150.00 to see 5 games (I've been to Geelong before, have no desire to go there again).

Lol....

Blame all the Nuff Nuffs that wanted the games at Telstra Stadium.... They took a game from Melboune!!!

Crap - they took an SCG home game. What is a 'nuff nuff' anyway?

You're assuming the TD day games will be red, but usually they're yellow.

I'm pleased to see at least one day TS game though.

That's why we went with an AFL membership last year.

Why dont we ask to play games on friday nites? I can remember only one game that we played on a friday nite, not including finals. that was against the dees, on a anzac day a few years ago. why dont the swans want to play then?

[TheGrimReaper]

I'm not happy with this draw at all.

[Missy]

I'd assume it would be because of TV viewers in NSW and competing with Nine's Friday Night League.

Two breaks

Players get two breaks this year:
* After round 7 there is a week with no games (Mother's Day weekend)
* Round 14 is a split round
