Nasho Prezo, Phil Johns, gives the Grand Final Update!
Dear Swannies, Sponsors and Supporters
The Big Ones start in just over 24 hours; ie the Vietnam Swans 2010 AFL Grand Final Parties!
- In Hanoi, a full house of 200 is expected at JASPAS, 4th Floor Hanoi Towers.
- In Saigon, a full house of 250-300 is expected at La Cantine On the 6, 6 Dong Khoi Street, District 1.
In Saigon, former Swannies president/player and coach, Scotty Stacey makes a triumphant return – specifically to attend the Swannies AFL Grand Final Party. In the evening, Daniel Hogarth, a former Swannies player, and his premiership-winning Tarrawingee Bulldogs will arrive in Saigon from Melbourne (yes, just after the Grand Final has finished). These guys are part of the mounting evidence that seems to prove that, while you can leave Vietnam, you can’t leave the Club.
Residents, tourists and visitors are all warmly welcomed to the Vietnam Swans AFL Grand Final Parties. On offer at each event, apart from the food and drinks and all-important satellite feed, is a glittering array of prizes and items for auction from an ever increasing pool of prestigious and generous sponsors. In 2010, however, we have one sponsor who has taken it to a new level. The Montgomerie Links, Danang (central Vietnam) has donated one Corporate Golf Day for 50 people valued at $4,300. This item for silent auction includes 18 holes, caddie and green fees (see The Vietnam Swans Grand Final Day Golf package for full details).

The countdown clock has really started. All around our Asian Footy Village, whether you’re in Bangkok, Jakarta, Shanghai etc, people are getting ready to attend Grand Final Parties hosted by the respective National Footy Clubs. Speaking of villages, it was the Village People who sung, You can’t stop the honkin’; nobody can stop the honkin’. How true.
Pssst!! Speaking of Shanghai, it’s only three weeks before all these national footy clubs, including the Vietnam Swans, will be meeting in Shanghai for the 11th Annual Asian Championships.
Ooooh!! Honk yer horn if you love the footy!
Tomorrow, let’s hope for a game as cracking as some of these parties!
