      Well that fare to London is available, but its sitting in the cargo hold so BYO fold up chair, stable table, food, drinks & doona.

          Excited about Tassie game as an ex-pat Tasmanian but disapointed it wasn't the originally rumoured trip to Southern Tasmania to play North Melbourne.

          Will be our 2nd game at York Park, we lost a "thriller" there in the NAB Cup one year (the game that Roosy was joking about wanting lose...)

            Once it is confirmed, I'll be booking flights to Lonnie - my second home, straight away. I went to that disastrous (Eski did his knee) and controversial (don't kick a goal) pre season game in 08. Forget the 8000, it was a full house and Swan fans outnumbered Hawks by a healthy margin. Bring it on!
            Satchmo, I wonder if the Hobart Swan fans will remember to discard their scuba tanks this time?

              Always an impressive head count at the games played in Tassie.

              I think the MCG may have been a better option considering they have played there lots and we have never played there.

                Lol, if you're going to correct people at least make sure you get it right.

                It's pronounced "In-ceston".

                  Sorry..... didn't mean to imply Launceston was a bad place to visit (I've visited Tassie heaps of times and love it there) I just don't want to have any less games to attend in Melbourne. At a pinch we can only manage one interstate trip per year and I don't want to waste it on a Melbourne based team.

                    I hear our bye is in Round 12.

                    NAB Cup draw
                    Bracketed with Geelong and St Kilda @ Etihad on Friday 24th Feb
                    GWS draw Collingwood and Western Bulldogs @ Blacktown Olympic Park on Saturday 18th Feb.

                    There's also a match scheduled at Castle Hill (apparently a 'regional centre' ) against North Melbourne on Saturday 3rd March

                      There's also a game to be played on the weekend of the grand final (16th to the 18th of March), since we presumably won't be in the actual GF.

                      Given that the Giants are supposed to play a pre-season game in Canberra, my money would be on Giants v Sydney at Manuka for that weekend.

                        I doubt they would want a Giants-Swans matchup in the pre-season to take away any glamour from the Round 1 clash. I'm assuming that that is the reason why we weren't bracketed with GWS at Blacktown.

                        Clarifying the North Melb game, the AFL article said Castle Hill (http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/defa...=Google+Reader) but the draw says Bruce Purser which is in Kellyville (http://www.afl.com.au/nabcup/fixture...7/default.aspx)

                        Full draw for Swans
                        Friday 24th Feb 6.40pm Etihad - Geelong, St Kilda, Sydney Swans (Broadcast on FOX)
                        Saturday 3rd Mar 2.40pm Bruce Purser - Sydney Swans v North Melbourne (No broadcast)
                        Friday 9th Mar 6.10pm Etihad - Essendon v Sydney Swans (Broadcast on FOX)
                        TBC a match on 16 Mar - 18 Mar

                          No way that will happen, we play then the week after in the season opener,. We wont play at all that weekend unless in the GF.

                            That's a good point actually, totally forgot about the Round 1 fixture.

                              Is Bruce Percer Resereve at Kellyville in our catchment zone? I would have rather them play in the East or North or even the Central Coast or wherever else we have been allocated for the Academy.

                                Kellyville??? No, Bruce Purser is in Rouse Hill. Finally, another match there - it's nice being able to go to the footy just ten minutes down the road and not an hour drive!

                                The Hills has always had a pretty good footy presence, and has lots of Swans fans.

                                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....
