Sydney v Brisbane at Stadium Australia

[Michael the coolperson]

A young Sydney side, without many of their big names, was no match for a star-studded Lions lineup. It'll be a different story when the home & away season starts, and the Swans return to full strength, but this one was no contest.
Anyway, here's some piccies I took at the game:
