The Swans mids play a similar game style to ours not surprising given the Roos connection....they like to flick the ball around and find space. It's a harder game style to play in wet weather for obvious reasons.

The game will be won by the team that adapts quickest to the conditions. Our inexperience may cost us here.

I don't think we're too tall but do worry about Dawes, probably our least skilled player. As 'binman' said earlier it's the skilled player that excels in the wet, my proviso is so long as they have an appetite for the contest and are prepared to keep their feet.

You can bank on Tyson in these conditions.

Worried his marking might be a bit off?

Well, it's a grey sky but so far none of the winds that were forecast and no rain. Unless something changes drastically in the next couple of hours, they should be playing on a good surface even if it does rain during the game.

A good indicator of conditions is that my son's game at the Alan Davidson Oval in St Peters that is a similar distance from the city as the SCG, is still going ahead...and they are prone to canceling games if someone so much as sneezes near the ground.

The game will be played in the rain me thinks. 

Am currently in Cronulla. Sky ominous. Radar showing rain over Sydney ...can't be far from here.

Umbrellas and Sou' westers all round

[The Sailing Demon 379]

The only thing wetter than the SCG today is my work site

(I am sitting on a ship in the middle of the pacific ocean watching the game!)

Good old fashioned mud bath?

Started to Drizzle here in paddington (a stones throw from the ground) with 20 mm to 40 mm predicted with the majority from 1 to 4 pm. 

We seriously need to decide who are our wet weather emergencies and put them in.

Rain Sleet Hail, Snow in short, a friggen chillfest and quagmire event guaranteed!

Agree need to make a change 

Id go with Grimes for hnmm O Mac? Frost perhaps? certainly not Dawes!

7 goals will win the game!

Grimes played in Ballarat yesterday!!  As did Harmes....   Michie is the only emergency up there.  Dawes has been consistently one of our better wet weather players and the focus needs to be on big bodies...
