Wow, so much disdain for the Bureau.

Besides, they are saying 50% chance of any rain, so they are also saying 50% chance of no rain at all.

Still a fair stretch better than the information about Viney, or Dangerfield, or Ablett!

The BOM does brilliantly compared to what they could do not so many years ago.  I don't know the exact figures but it is something like their current 10 day forecasts are as reliable as their old 2 day forecasts were.  As for rain  at 50% that is complicated because of the often patchyness of rain.  The percentage they quote is a complicated average over time and space, so it's not surprising if what you see at a particular spot is not what you expect.

    I reckon we will easily get 65,000 to this game, rain hail or shine.

     

    I`d be stoked with 55k. Remember Grand Prix is on down the road too.

    22* and some precipitation.  good.  humidity & sweating players will make it slippery.

    Let the wet be our friend.

    Lets go small & speedy, with plenty aggro.

    so what they are saying is that in any one hour their is a one in 5 chance of rain but taken cumulatively there is a 50% chance of it raining sometime.

    Wow ... you have to love that form of modelling... Frankly given Melbourne's unpredictable weather I don't blame them

    To me the bright side out of this is we don't need TMc as much. 

    He is more likely top worsen the toe issue in the wet contested slog, and the opposition will look for every opportunity to get at it.

     

    We can play a smaller forwardline with bulk, including Pedo in.

    Give TMc the extra week to get right.

    These conditions would have been just right for Viney but he's not ready.

    IMO  we need bulky forwards, and our speedsters. Those that are opportunists of the spilt mark.

    I wonder how JKH would go in these conditions?

     

    I think the Wet, brings their guns back to us, a bit.  I can see Buggster in on one of their mids.

    Not looking good for Jack Watts.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
