Swans v Bombers at North Sydney Oval

[Michael the coolperson]

The AFL season is coming soon, and the first trial match for 2005 is less than a week away.
At North Sydney Oval on Friday night, the Sydney Swans will be taking on Essendon. The Bombers will be spending the week on the north shore doing coaching clinics etc to build up to the big game; while the Swans are returning to Sydney having done their community camp in Wollongong last week.
I'll be at the game, and it'll be great to have the footy back. Go the Bombers!!!

Had an enjoyable evening at the Essendon community camp dinner. Great to see the Bomber boys looking fit and ready to go.
Anyway, here's a few pics I took at the dinner. The first is of guest speaker Pat Rafter, then there's some Bomber pics:

Well, it was great to be back at the footy. Both sides were rotating their squads and playing their up-and-coming juniors so the result wasn't all that important; but for the record it was the Swans that got up by 32 points.
Anyway, here's some pics I took at the game:
