Grand Final Day – Special Guest Appearance!!!
Scotty Stacey, seen here at the 2008 Grand Final Party in Saigon, returns this year.
The Swannies in Saigon are delighted to announce that we have a super duper special guest who will fly in just to see the Grand Final with us. It is none other than the Little Guy, Super Savvy Scotty Stacey. Played in the first match back in 2003, a key architect of the national Swans team, a coach and a little bit of a shocker (only because he’s from Adelaide). It’s going to be awesome! Scott will also get up to Hanoi during his short visit. (Did I say short? Sorry Scotty!)
Keep checking the Swannies website for all the latest information on the Grand Final Parties in both cities – and see below for the list of great prizes to be raffled and auctioned.
Grand Final Recovery Day
Australia Network will replay the Grand Final at 1pm on Sunday 26 September. In Saigon, we will get to welcome the boys from Tarrawingee who were to have played a footy match against us but due to logistics issues, had to be cancelled. The Apprentice, Daniel Hogarth is an ex Swannie and it will be fantastic to catch up with him and his team mates.
Asian Champs, Shanghai, 16 October

At the end of the post:
When you head off to JASPAS and Cafe Latin tonight, be sure to honk yer horn. I will. And so will a few other motorists.
Bring on the honk!
