2015 AFL Fixture

[mcs]

I'll be buying mine as usual. I'd rather all my money going to the club I support rather than saving myself a minor amount and see what I do pay going to the AFL or rival clubs.

That's fine - but $260 + $100 for Premiership Club is a lot of money to get entry into 5 games (noting there is no Geelong game included either). If you live in Melbourne, the added entries to other games might be really useful. But I live in Canberra and don't get to Melbourne as much as I used to. Its a lot of money when it'll probably be 2 or 3 games I'll get to in Melbourne in total and maybe 1 or 2 games @ the G in addition

I think I'm going to swap my Vic Membership for an ACT Membership instead, and then upgrade my country membership to a Red 11 Membership. Still work out a lot cheaper then keeping the Vic one, and I can still get into 3 games in Melbourne (2 Etihad with ACT membership and 1 MCG with Premiership Club). Worse bit for me is that I can't apply PC to the country membership - it is understandable why you can't, but just a wee bit frustrating as well!

Wow, the fixture isn't kind to the Victorian based members, 4 games + a hard to get into Geelong game?
Doesn't seem fair considering around 25% of the supporter base if in Victoria

You're exactly right Untamed. That Geelong game should never be considered a home game for Vic Swans members. You can't just walk up to the game unless you are prepared to get to the ground hours early and go to standing room (not an option for my aging dad & son with disability). We have paid big money for impossible seating previously. We discussed the fixture last night and it looks like that is one game we won't be attending next year. Sorry team but it is just too hard.

Thats fine. so long as your kids dont decide that all of their mates are little bombers and they would rather go with their mates to the footy.

Why the hell would they rather go with their mates than their family. My kids wouldn't be caught dead at a non-Swans game.

Looks like Newbold, Polo Gil and Ed got together at gils house and came up with this fixture.

Something needs to be done about ridding the MCG of their home of football status. Its either a home ground for a club or just a neutral venue. It cannot be used for financial gain by the likes of collingwood at the expense of a fair draw.

Also collingwood not travelling to Geelong for nearly a decade and half is rubbish. Whats the excuse these days after the cats have built a top stadium? There is no excuse at all!

I swear this comp is the worst comp in the world when it comes to draw and fairness. I have never seen so much corruption in a league, as much as FIFA takes that crown, the AFL are swimming in it. At least they (FIFA) dont compromise the draws to all their tournaments, yes they accept bribes for hosting the world cup but heck political parties have "donations". When was the last time you saw a team in say the champions league been given carte blanche on who they want to play? Or what about a country like say italy or england being allowed to pick and choose who they play at the world cup?

Yet it seems to be accepted in the AFL.

I think you need to put your commercial cap on !

Swans website are providing calendars that you can import to your software of choice. ICS import to Google worked for me.

I like afternoons and Sundays, so not overjoyed, but you can't please everyone. "Fan-friendliness" is reserved for Victorians, apparently.

as a Melb based Swans supporter I have let it be known - don't feel too poorly !
