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.

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.

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...

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
