For those of you Mexicans heading north for next weeks match, here's something you might be interested in....

Matilda cruises have a return cruise from the city (Darling Harbour) to Homebush wharf (and then bus to the ground) with all drinks included (beer/wine mmmm & softdrinks). It's not exactly cheap, but if you factor in the cost of public transport + a few drinks at the pub outside the ground it's not too bad. Plus you get to see something.
(details below)

A bunch of us essendon-supporting sydneysiders are likely to be going on it after meeting for a few drinks in Darling Harbour (PM me for details if you're around/interested) during the arvo.

Something a bit different, and certainly more interesting than sitting on a dodgey old sydney train, and you'll actually get to see something.

Suits us fine, Schneiderman... you sure you wern't a Pies supporter in a previous life? Most of them predicted an easy 8 goal win over Essendon last week.

Are you one of the newer Swans supporters that jumped on the bandwagon during last year's unexpected success are we? Your little chip kick, hold up the play won't work against all sides especially not at the bigger grounds like Telstra Stadium.

Underestimate us at your own peril as your record at that ground this year is hardly flattering...
 
I love the fact that we play them at Stadium Australia not the Sydney Chip Ground.

This Ferry thingy sounds like a LOT of fun!!!! Incl's drinks and sausage both ways? Sounds preety good to me. Will see what the general interest is with others!

Plus Jim Bob's back in form. Sydney are stuffed, they'll short kick it. We'll get it and bomb the thing long. Game Over.

Please do! This is how we beat a lot of sides. You bomb it long, we spoil it and stream out of defense with numbers!

What is all this hoo-ha about Stadium Oz being a big ground? Area wise it is actually the smallest ground in the competition. One of the narrowist for sure.

Length wise not a bad size, but width wise, as small as Skilled!
 
which means u have to take the corridor and take contested marks.

btw i was just on BT and theres and article about Jobe and sheeds said 'sydney wont wanna take him lightly'.

Which means he's probably not gonna be dropped :)
