    I hope to see the future of the Swans play in that game!

      How much is that?

      Just had a look, can't afford that.

      We actually qualify for concession when we just buy tickets at the gate, but not for membership, so it is going to be cheaper for us to just pay as we go.

        Oh well gives us all time to book flights or arrange hols - am surprised that Essendon scored a game at TS though. (but just quietly I'm quite happy that Sundays after June 1 are my own again )
        I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

          I think it's about double the price, but you can go to nearly any games and you get better finals seats.

              Despite our appalling record of Saturday night performances of late - I do prefer the Saturday night fixture simply in that its just more convenient for me - but fully appreciate that it isnt for all.

                Under the current TV rights arrangements we will never play on a Friday night unless it's a final.

                Been that way for 6 years and will be for another 4 and is unlikely to change in the future.

                  Hmmm.. Mixed bag for me.

                  11 games in Sydney, 2 in Canberra is good. 4 at the dome vs 1 at the MCG doesn't really affect me although I think it's a shame we only have one at the MCG.

                  Just for me personally I will probably miss my first geelong game since 1998 - Our first financial burden is due in late April and I can almost guarantee we will not fly down to Avalon on the 19th of April.

                  Only 4 day games, mostly in the early part of the season is annoying as well from that point of view. Ah well, a baby doesn't really care about late nights, it wants to wake up every 3 hours anyway!

                  One thing is clear - the team NEEDS to learn how to play at night, otherwise we'll be out of the finals by July.

                  177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

                    So we play the following twice: St K, Port, Geelong, Dogs, Collingwood, Brisbane & West Coast

                    Looks tough.

                    Combine that with only 8 games on FTA in Vic, only 1 game at the G, and 11 night games (which we couldn't win last year) and it looks like a poor draw to me.

                                what are the issues with taking young kids to a sat night game? Are you coming from outside of Sydney? Or just the late nights? Just wondering.

                                Does anyone know if Canberra residents get Swans games on live FTA as well?
