thoughts?

personally I'm quite happy with the draw in the sense that it does not look like we have such an easy run home to the finals. I know this year there were some others in the BF community made a point about that.

BUT I'm really dissappointed about March 31 because for Sydney it will be a logistical nightmare with a waratahs super 14 game, horse racing and the possibility of an NRL game all on the one day (I was really looking forward to seeing the crusaders and waratahs play too by the way). transport was bad enough when we played Freo at Telstra last month

I'm happy.

I don't watch those other things so 31st of March is perfect for me, especially seeing it's a Saturday night.

I think i want to try and go to a few more interstate games this year in the H&A season. I'm definately going to the Bulldogs game in Canberra with my sister, we've already planned our little roadtrip and then i'm thinking about the Geelong game and then maybe going over to Perth for the Eagles match. I wish they weren't so close together though. Ah, oh well.

Shall be an exciting season!

I think the draw looks okay. But with the limited seating at the SCG next year I wouldn't have minded an extra game at Telstra - possibly the Melb fixture?

We lose the Bulldogs home game, but with two matches at our "other" home ground at Manuka the country fans will get a good look at us this year.

For the Melbourne based supporters, it also looks pretty good. With the Geelong fixture just a quick trip up the freeway their six "home" games look on paper to be better quality matches this year. It was a pretty dry season for the South of the Border supporters last year with a lot of cellar dwellars. The Saints and Collingwood games in particular should be fun for them (and any who wish to travel down for a game).

The travel factor looks to be pretty good this year. We only travel to WA and SA once and both games are bookended with Home fixtures. In the lead up to the West Coast Away game we're actually at home for two weeks in a row, which will help a lot. And while we have to travel two weeks in a row twice, SA and WA aren't involved either time and all four games have a 7 day break. seperating them.

All in all a pretty good mix.

The draw looks pretty good. It is a prety good mix. We'll show those people. Easy ride or not...

We are versing the WCE twice. My heart isn't going to take it again. However, i wanted to go to the Telstra game, but i've got my exams during that time.

So why did the Saints become one of the blockbuster games??? Any plausible reason?

Oh wells... I would love to travel interstate games. I don't have time or the money.

If you had any money then you'd have to spend on it on the golf thing coming up. It's so expensive though. For like $1350 i could play golf with Auskick and then 4 other random people. Haha, tempting but no.

 

[is2SWaNz]

$1350!!! holy...I wouldn't mind playing golf with them. But golf is soo boring, even if i'm playing with them i would fall asleep.

I'll pass...

Yeah, it's a rip off. You've got to have 4 players at $250 each and then to get a Swans player as your 5th player then it's another $350, unless they are in the leadership group and then it's $450. I guess it's all for a good cause..

I'd only pay $1350 if i got LRT, Inspo and Auskick in my team.

It's like we are 'renting' the players to play golf. But if its for a good cause then I wouldn't complaine.

How cool would that be? Playing golf with the roomies. You can ask those questions you've been dying to ask.

I'd pay if i got Amon, ROK and Tadhg on my team. Woot.. =]

But seriously, i was talking to my sister about it. Saying like how awkward would it be if in the team it was me, my sister, my mum, my dad and then Auskick? Lmfao.

It would be more awkward with my parents playing. They are asians... they don't watch footy.

You're family and Auskick, would be hilarious. Make him part of your family.

Haha, it would be pretty funny. I think Auskick would be pretty easy to talk to and he's only young and that too, but if you got someone like Baz, then that would be weird. I'd be too scared to play.

AHAHAHA! Baz would probably the last person i would want in my team. He's a nice bloke and all... but it's abit intimidating anyway.

 

[natlovestheswans]

I'd only want dorks in my team so i didn't embarrass myself with my golfing skills, or lack of golfing skills.

 

[is2SWaNz]

^ I'm hardly ever good at golf anyways. =.=

I'd make a full of myself. hehe.. i'd rather stay put, for now.
