Yew, about time. I've been bursting with excitement. Tonnes of changes around the league with more trades than usual last year

Any place got games live in Zurich?

I went to the Shamrock in Wollishofen and watched a few Friday games last year. I was supposed to meet someone in town on a Saturday last year to watch a Saturday night game but the pub didn't open until well after the game was finished.

Eurosport 2 is showing one live game per week in German. Finally a compelling reason to learn the language.

It's already looking like a long year for the Tigers!

Yeah I signed up for it but this weeks game is on friday morning when im at work. Next week im heading out for drinks on thursday night but I might see if I can duck away early and catch some of the game (it starts at 8pm). You got a recorder?

btw: Week 1 cats v bombers
Week 2 brissy v carlton
Week 3 bombers v carlton

I better get some freaking eagles games otherwise Im gonna be pissssed. Either way, some footy is better than no footy right?

I recorded the cats bombers game yesterday and had to avoid anyone telling me the score. It's harder than you might think because my boss is a Bombers fan.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of the German commentary although I did like the way one of them got Chapman and Ablett confused and the other guy says "Zweimal Kojaks"

Looking forward to seeing some Saints games. I think the key is to watch live and get the radio commentary off the net.

And Round 4 Eagles v Bombers. Good for you but three weeks out of four they show the Bombers.

Yeah typical bombers bias. I would have thought they crack a few saints and pies games early.

I probably gonna miss a few games because Im away for work and I don't have a recorder, but my old man back home is taping quite a few games off fox and sending them over on a tumbdrive so I could possibly get a few games for you if ya want. Depends on how good my explainations of how to tape off the telly is to my dad. He aint the most technological bloke out there

Is anyone aware of a place that will be showing the 2010 AFL Grand final?

I'll be at the Wembley Hotel or my Dad's living room. Not helpful for Zurich, but makes me feel real good to say it

Oliver twist in Nierderdorf is the best bet in Zurich. Went there last year and it was full. Talked to brendan the other day and he said that they are opening up at 530 or 6. I'll be there with bells on hopefully with some germans and swiss. Show em a real sport

Ahhhh the wembley. A mate of mine is the DJ there now (well was when I left in september last year). Spent a lot of my youth in that pub. I also worked at the video ezy across the road

If the Saints win on Saturday I'll be at the 'G for the Grand Final.

Shame the bullies are playing the saints, because i'll be barracking for those two for the finals. If the pies win the grandy I won't go back home

+1 for me on that front ^

Is anyone getting together to watch the GF? Its a pretty scary time in the morning and not sure who would broadcast such an event but perhaps something should happen? Perhaps it should be recorded and then watched at a BBQ lunch or something? Mind you, I am in Geneva and probably well away from any proposed action...

is the big game being televised anywhere in Zurich ?

I think they show it at the Oliver Twist but I can't see anything at their website.

I'll be in the nosebleed section of the Ponsford Stand.

I spoke to the Twist and they said they are playing it

since we're on opposite sides of the fence, maybe I'll just go to southern stand instead.. Schweiz is a peaceful country but over a game of foody anything may happen

6:00am Saturday morning... ouch ... c yas all there

6am is beer oclock. Pretty pumped for the game. And the twist do a decent brekky too
