This is INSANITY! ... surely there is no reason why this could not be moved to the SCG!!!? ... there isn't an impostor celebrity game or anything else on , is there???
AFL, NEAFL ... anybody out there ...???
JUST MOVE THE GAME!!!Comment

@@@@ing ridiculous. What's wrong with a Sunday game if it can't be the curtain raiser of the Hawks game. Mor e proof that the powers that be don't give a toss about the Ressie watchers...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

It is just nonsense no matter how you look at it.
Swans fans being denied the chance to watch both of their teams at one venue.
Ask the Ainslie players and supporters where they would like to play an away game in Sydney ... SCG no question!
What is best to promote the NEAFL product ... a game at Blacktown, where you will get the family & friends from each team ONLY (who turn up every week no matter what) or exposure to a sell out crowd at the SCG?
They manage to change these games virtually without notice if they expect rain, can't be difficult for sanity to prevail and do it now, based on common sense ...?Comment

It's probably the decision of the SCG Trust? Meanwhile the schedule for Saturday reads:
2.45pm Gates Open
4.40pm Game StartsComment

I am pretty certain that in the context of the NEAFL, "listed player" includes rookie listed players too.
So there is a limit of 12 "official" Swans plus 10 toppies (which can include the ever-present Potter, as he is not officially on the Swans list). Could mean that a couple of players have played their last game for the club.
Thanks to you both for clarifying - you are right in saying that the Ressies will be diminished by this "listed player" condition. Might give Ainslie a sniff.Comment

One of the more ridiculous decisions of the year - why the Ressies would play in GWS' home territory a few hours before our game at the SCG is beyond me. I thought they'd earned a home ground advantage? It's a game that I'd like to see but I won't be able to thanks to that smart move!Comment

My first thoughts were "if it has to be at Blacktown why not on Sunday?". Really just a stupid move, they'll have a handful of people there at best whereas the guys could have had a chance to play to a decent early crowd at the SCG or probably a few extra on the Sunday with all the buzz generated by the Hawks game.

We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

I would imagine that the didn't have it as curtain raiser because there is no seating left for potential fans from Canberra anyway, so why not shoot them off to a more indifferent location when the Swans fans can't watch either.
I am sending a "please explain" to Swans anyway.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment
