Hell yeah, first few rounds seem pretty good

Is there a reason Williams wouldn't make a good captain? Team seems to improve when he is on the pitch, consistent player last season (compared to many others) and committed to the club

Any word on the scarves yet? Looking forward to getting another one. Though wondering if there will be a way to get them not at the pre-season game because I'll be away for all pre-season games

The only problem with having it on a Sunday night is a lot of people go away for a long weekend (last long weekend before easter, one of the last beach/river long weekends), therefore there would be less of a chance of randoms coming to the game. I think this is a not bad time for the weekend, people will be in the city for Moomba anyway, so may stay... maybe. The earlier time start wouldve been good but I dont know if they could because doesnt moomba have fireworks on that evening thereby restricting access.

ooohh may need to show that to my mate who is interested for next season, i had not read the details but it sounds reasonable

Are you on twitter? I'm @ahmadnz if you want to keep in touch closer to the time regarding activities going on for both teams, or do email me dunedinphoenix (at) icloud (dot) com Would love to organise something with you and your fellow supporters in the lead up to the match. i have found you on twitter, i will love keeping in touch. Gladly i do know a few things about dunedin as a few of my work mates come from there. but shall definitely connect with you. love meeting other supporters!

Im booked for this match!! Myself and my mum fly in on the wednesday before and fly out about a week after the game. I do know a couple of other people booked. So excited for it!!!

it will be a difficult one, but hopefully we have enough determination to prove ourselves after yesterday's game

Super pumped for next week. What time do you guys usually get to the pub? And are any of you on witter or anything....

@perthheart thank you so much! Appreciate the advise, shall definitely be at the pub!

good to know there are some supporters in Perth already, should be fun!

So do you know the name of any hotels - or does anyone know what hotel they are staying at already so I can maybe stay in the same hotel.

I know a few people mentioned that they were going to the first Perth game, just wanting to see who is definitely going. Needing some advise on where to stay, or maybe the names of some hotels (possibly stay in the same hotel for ease of hanging out over the weekend) Any help with this one would be great, already got flights booked so I am so excited!

i went this morning! it was a great match, sad that everyone missed it. didnt hear much about the afternoon game. though. This morning was 9-3 against st albans, we just dominated

I am doing perth (ive never been so intrigued) and ws first one, plus dunedin. Lookong fwd to all three! If any others going to perth, would love accom recommendations

Thanks for that! I had no idea. Where do you recommend?

Just had a look on Wotif for some accomodation - they have North Parramatta Apartments on sale $212 for 2 night stay in a 2 bedroom self contained apartment that sleeps up to 5. Seems like a good idea....

got flights for ws in november and perth in october. perth was $100 each way and sydney was $45 each way with tiger. gotta start looking into wellington/dunedin in march, who would be best to fly with for that one?

Complety agree with Fatboy Slim - amazing tune and easy enough for everyone to follow. Also, every time i hear it i want to dance!

So In!!!

Thanks for that, makes complete sense now! Not long now before the first game!!

Its a pretty good schedule imo, and geelong isnt too far to go for the first game. Although i am a little confused as to why most of the games are wednesdays... can someone explain that to me please

todays game was pretty good, both teams were just struggling to make those shots! will be there for the morning game only tomorrow, so should be good! well done boys!

Could not agree more with your whole stance!!! Love it!

IMO its a good side atm, definitely could improve with a few more players to allow some flexibility for if we end up with more injuries like we did in january. Hope there is some new signings soon now that the squad started training.
