      From the boss.
      John Longmire's first official game as Sydney Swans coach will be against Melbourne at the MCG on a Sunday afternoon in round one. The Swans have a home game against Essendon at ANZ Stadium the week after, before heading west to meet the Eagles at Patersons Stadium.

      As in recent seasons, the Swans have three home games in ANZ Stadium in which they will do battle with the Bombers, Collingwood and St Kilda. They have seven home matches at the SCG, a number of which feature big-drawing Victorian clubs like Hawthorn and Richmond.

      In round six, the Swans will host Carlton in their first Friday night home game at the SCG since 2003.

          haven't read the draw completely but - how do you get it before announced. No I won't ask but looks okay so far.

          Thanks
          Love those Swans

            Looks like a pretty good draw, but we will want to be set up by rd 21. Finish with St Kilda at home, Geelong away and as per the usual Brisbane at home. Great to see a Friday night at the SCG, and some of the bigger teams at the SCG for once (i.e Geelong!). And a road trip to the Gold coast will be sweet as well.
            "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

              Swans play Essendon, Geelong, Carlton, Western Bulldogs, Richmond & Brisbane twice. Also Adelaide & West Coast away with Port & Freo at home.

                  Interesting that 2 of the 3 ANZ games are Sunday day games. And there's only one Saturday afternoon in Sydney.
                  Friday night against Carlton at the SCG will be interesting.

                    I like the afternoon games at ANZ, I think it's something a little different.

                      Not a bad draw IMHO very happy to see Friday Night Football at the SCG, my only concern is if the NRL schedule a FNF game at the SFS could be a bit problematic crowd flow wise.

                            The Friday night game is the day before my birthday, against my girlfriend's team. Every year I say I'm going to go and see a game at the SCG (I'm in Melbourne) - maybe this will be the one...
