Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

I am disappointed because it is the only preseason game in Sydney that actually gets some support. Interest in preseason of any code in Sydney is extremely limited. The Swans Nth Sydney game and League's Charity Shield are the only two real exceptions to that, so it would have been nice to keep it going.
I don't really know why people are so upset at missing the North Sydney trial. It may be a pleasant enough Friday evening in a pretty setting, but as a contest it really has little value. It is only 15 a side & the oval is the size of a pinhead; you can seriously kick goals from the centre square there. Most of the big name players don't play & you find yourself checking the record to try & work out who is who.
It is a pleasant outing, but I'd rather a decent 18 vs 18 hit out, whereever it may be. If we get kicked out f the NAB Cup in Tassie they may hold a trial somewhere in the Sydney area.
Personally I think pre-season trials should be held in areas other than Sydney. Maybe play a game at North Dalton in Wollongong so the locals can see AFL footy live at close range. Newie ain't a bad day trip either. Playing at match at Bankstown Oval or even a re-turfed Henson Park in my view has merit as well. Anywhere decent in Blacktown/Penrith to play a pre-season trial? What about Campbelltown, the ground there is pretty good.
Bring footy to the community to people who may not be able to see the game much.
North Sydney is a pleasant day/night at the footy. But as a football exercise it is pretty limited.

I was wondering if they just meant at Moore Park. Still very dissapointing to not have it at NSO, it was a great way to get 10k people in to watch a pre-season game and was fantastic publicity for the code.Comment

I'm dissapointed. I always enjoyed the game at NSO but I prefered it on the Sunday afternoon. I can't see an intraclub trial drawing a crowd, altough they held one a number of years ago at Kelso Park( a ground just down the road from my house) and got a reasonable response however we did have Plugger, Kel, Cressa & Dunks back then.Red & White forever.Comment

Not this year.
Last I heard they will be holding an Intraclub match prior to the Hawthorn game in Tassie...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

Are they playing a practice match in Canberra at all? I'd be keen to go to that.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
