Bradshaw and Chris Judd are expected to pack the Rooty Hill venue to its 10,000 crowd capacity when the Sydney Swans take on Carlton in round one of the pre-season NAB Cup on February20.

The game will be played under lights and broadcast nationwide on Channel10.

A second NAB Cup game may be played at Blacktown if the Swans progress to the semi-finals.

The grand final will be on March13.

The venue will be home to the proposed Team Greater Western Sydney (GWS), which is expected to kick off in 2012.

``This will be the first time the home of Team GWS will host elite-level football,'' said AFL NSW/ACT AFL general manager Dale Holmes.

``This is a terrific way to bring the elite AFL competition to the greater west of Sydney. Hosting the NAB Cup at Blacktown Olympic Park provides us with the opportunity to really showcase the venue at the highest level.''

Blacktown Mayor Charlie Lowles said the match would bring sporting and recreational benefits to the local and wider community. ``This is a wonderful opportunity for the people of Blacktown City and western Sydney to experience a premier AFL game in their backyard,'' he said.

``It also provides the council and the Blacktown City community the opportunity to showcase their new state-of-the-art AFL/cricket precinct at Blacktown Olympic Park, particularly as the game is being televised.

``Blacktown City is fast becoming the home of sport in western Sydney and hosting the Swans-versus-Carlton game is sure to get people excited about the greater western Sydney AFL team joining the premiership in 2012.''

The decision to have the game played in western Sydney follows the success of the game between the Swans and Western Bulldogs in front of 3000 fans at a trial clash at Rouse Hill earlier this year, said Holmes.
