Here's an AAP story about the game, published on NZ website Stuff. 20,000 locals expected to attend - that sounds a lot.
More than 2500 St Kilda members are flying from Melbourne, compared to 1500 of their Swans' counterparts. And Nettlefold hopes that of the roughly 20,000 locals expected to attend, the majority will adopt the Saints, given they have driven the concept and will host two games per season there from next year onwards.
Wellington to be St Kilda's home away from homeThe man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

It's great here. Those travelling will enjoy themselves immensely.
I went to the Backbencher for the A-League GF and told them we were coming. It's a nice pub with good staff.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

Just got into Wellington from the south island. Can you believe the host at the b&b we just left lived in Australia in the 70s and still had his Saints scarf!Comment

Some interesting stats for the number crunchers.
By the numbers - Round 5 - SAINTS.com.au
Saints effective disposals % is the highest for 2013.
Doesn't mean much if your not worrying the scoreboard.Comment

Turns out my friends live in Thorndon about 400 metres from the stadium so that's handy for me.Comment

Thought I had bad news about pies/Dons in NZ....as live AFL start doesn't atrt until NEXT WEEK in NZ with a new free to air channel called Sonnet Sports....currently on Sky TV there is one a game a week played Tuesday Night and 1 hour 9 game wrap-up also on Tuesday nights are the only things on (even on pay TV).
But this week BOTH Anzac games are on back to back on Sky Sport 3 so will definitely be available in any pub you ask for it.....first bounce at 4.40....St. George/Roosters kicks off at 6.00 so you might have to fight to watch the 2nd half!!!"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

Anyone know if there is an open training session at the ground tomorrow? (Wednesday)"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

I always wonder how much this might be a reflection of the number of short kicks because you're having trouble moving the ball forward. NM is 2nd and they have been doing a lot of that this year as well. So the 2 top teams in this category haven't been going all that well this year.
Then again, the next 5 teams are having pretty good seasons.
How often do you see the best players on teams with low DE%s. Goodes and Hanners are often near the top of our list. The high DEs are usually defenders kicking it around to each other.Comment

Heading for Wellington this evening. Look forward to catching up at the Backbencher pre-game with whoever is going to be there. Getting excited already!Run2Live,Live2RunComment

Here in NZ now
The Wellington friends I'm taking to the game just tried to book us into the backbencher for pre game dinner only to be told they are full.
So we are now going the dockside bar/restaurant on Queens wharf just up from the railway station.
They are opening early @ 5pm to cater for the game.Comment

The Backbencher is a restaurant and bar so it must be the restaurant that is full. The manager I spoke with said he'd have the big screen on for the early game as well as ours. Probably worth checking it out first if you want to watch it ovee a couple of beers as the game starts around 4.20 NZ time doesn't it? That's before the other place opens.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
