The Vietnam Swans AFL Grand Final Replay Parties
Nasho Prezo, Fabbo, gives the Grand Final replay update.
Dear Swannies Sponsors and Supporters
Last weekend, The Vietnam Swans had the AFL Grand Final Parties – and it was a draw! So, this Saturday, they’re back out again for the People’s Grand Final Replay.
Hanoi Grand Final Replay Party
Will be held at the seriously awesome JASPAS from 10am – 3pm. 500,000VND for big buffet, free flow Foster’s, wine and spirits.
Saigon Grand Final Replay Party
Will be held at LesudGAUDIR, 4 Thao Dien Street, District 2 from 10am until whenever. Details are still to be finalised but it is expected to be ‘pay as you go’ with beers/ house wines/ cocktails no more than 25K/ 55K / 60K respectively. Meals will be approx 100K. As this is the People’s Replay, dress casually in your favourite footy colours – and board shorts/bikinis for a swim in the pool. There will also be raffles, giveaways, competitions, face painting. Strong rumour: Gus McEwin, former Swannies Captain, will make a surprise visit.
September sees fans flock to MCG and Swannies website
If you think the Swannies Grand Final Parties this year have been mega, you’re not alone. This month, the Swannies website has had an average of 295 visitors per day (8,265 visitors for the month so far). All up, they have had 172,000 visitors: that’s nearly twice the size of last weekend’s Grand Final crowd. Also this month, the Saigon Times has run a story on the Swannies, and both Radio Australia and the ABC Radio Vietnamese Service have conducted interviews.
Asian Champs & Training on Sunday
It is only 18 days before the Vietnam Swans will play in the 11th Annual Asian Championships in Shanghai. Accordingly, the day after the Grand Final, the Swannies in Saigon will be back on the training track. Training: 2.30pm, Sunday 3 October, Parklands.
Auskick will be held at 1.30pm at Parklands.
American Jerry, Jerry, Jerry back home in the US
American Superstar for the Swannies, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, returned to the US a couple of months ago. Today he left a message on our Facebook Page:
Gentlemen – thought you might like to know, I finally got my act together this weekend and found the local Aussie Rules League… I showed up at the pitch on Sunday morning thinking I would just watch, but they asked if I wanted to play. A jumper, shorts, socks and boots were provided and I played the whole match. Fairl…y successfully too – with two goals, two behinds and a couple of shepherds. Good to get a run in.
I feel sorry for the Collingwood supporters who will have to endure two Grand Finals of losing football in one season… Sorry I can’t make it for the party. Best regards to everyone.
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry
And…
If the Swannies ever decide to set up our own independent, island state, we’re gunna call it Honk On.
Ooooh. Giddy Up!
See you at JASPAS in Hanoi or LesudGAUDIR in Saigon for the Vietnam Swans 2010 AFL Grand Final Replay Parties!
