In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate. -
But we have one before round two. No one else has that."It's up to the rest of the players in the room to make a new batch of premiership players next year," Adam Goodes, triple Bob Skilton Medallist, October 7, 2011.

By my calculations we have the week off between Essendon (nab cup) and GWS (round 1) ??Comment

No there will be a NAB challenge game, or if you're very optimistic we'll be in the NAB Cup Grand FinalComment

Ah ok that makes sense ... I'm happy - more football!Comment

Full round of matches on the NAB Cup final weekend (see NAB Cup fixture):
Eight Matches: Friday March 16 - Sunday, March 18
Dates and Venues TBC
Potential Venues: Etihad Stadium, Simonds Stadium, Blacktown International Sportspark, AAMI Stadium, Patersons Stadium, Metricon Stadium, Manuka Oval, VISY Park
*Further matches may be broadcast on FOX SPORTS in this round.
The scheduling doesn't seem all that well organised (knowing both teams were never going to play in the NAB Cup final) - one of us (Swans - GWS) will play 2 weeks in Sydney and 2 away, with the other having 1 home and 3 away.
You'd assume they had GWS in mind in nominating a game for Canberra, but I guess you could say the same for another Blacktown game that weekend. At worst we'd play at Manuka - surely we wouldn't be asked to travel interstate 3 times (particularly when there is no break before Rd 1).Comment

Agreed. Lets be honest the game against GWS will be willing early, but should be a cake walk for the Swans....Like a ramped up pre season game.
Then they get a 2 week break before taking on 'Mr Mercenary and the purple haze', who would of had only 1 week recovery from their first round against the Cats.....Followed by Port and the Kangas.
Seems like an excellent schedule for the Swans.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

Hmmmmm. Seems to be that teams fall back after a break e.g. the week we had off before playing the Magpies over the past few years (last year it was Collingwood that had the week off and we came within six points of a boilover, and of course Geelong, who had the week off prior to being beaten at home by the Swans."Play like you can’t lose."Comment

Giants and Tigers in line for Manuka Oval treat
GWS playing Richmond at Manuka which leaves us with Blacktown? That would be a little weird considering it's the Giants' training base and we just played a match in Rouse Hill but Steve's point about being made to travel 3 times is quite valid.Comment

Hey guys if I was Saints coach I would have bailed too. They have an aging list. Have off field problems that never get better. The Administration is sub-standard at best. The recruiting has been ordinary and for the moment not future. The coach had interference from club insiders. You are never going to be totally in charge at the Saints no matter what assurances a coach gets from the board and management. I would never have gone there in the first place it I were an AFL or Potential AFL Coach.Comment
