The got the Hawks with a 5 day break after they played Geelong compared to their 9 day break. They are very gettable tonight. 

Does Melbourne come switches on and do they come to play for 4 quarters.

very unlikely.

Rosebury (8), Foot (2) and Williamson (22) tonight.   At least that bald clown Nicholls is not in attendance.  Rosebury is generally good.   Williamson is the worry IMHO.   Let's hope they aren't a factor.   Just want to see a competitive effort tonight and in all likelihood we win if we bring that.   Dees by 26.

There will be enormous pressure on the umps , with 70000 Tiger fans screaming “ baaaaallll” every time,immediately before we take possession. Also the umps will be influenced by them on deliberate OOB decisions.

Last year they got a huge armchair ride in Q1, despite never having the ball.

True, but how much do they want it. We have the talent to beat Richmond.

Talent yes...ticker.... ??

Need the rain to stop, have zero confidence after the way we played in the rain last week

Weather will clear if the 256km radar is anything to go by

Still quite a bit of rain around.

It will be a wet and slippery ball.

Weid a late out maybe?

Staying near the ground, with just under 3 hours to go, looks like it's clearing from the west.

Me if we win....

 

Its very wet for the Weid. Smith would handle the conditions better.

I think that we can handle, it's more actual rain that seems to make us literally have a meltdown.

Besides even in the rain last week I felt that we were down a tall, so Weids playing is not an issue. He isn't exactly a clunky forward, he is quite agile and he can give Gawn a chop out in the ruck, which after Harmes' effort last week is much needed.

The g drains amazingly well. if it the drizzle clears in the next 30 mins or so it will be fine

We need targets forward to bring the ball to ground still.

I'd bring Fritsch in (he is just so clean) for Harmes.

Raining in Collingwood at the moment, sky is very grey and gloomy.

Surface water will remain which is what will make it slippery.

At the G now and the rain is getting heavier.

I’m in Docklands looking NW. it is looking clearer.  I expect the rain will pass in about 1/2 an hour.

Accountable footy required, man on man. 

 

Please tell me more about the slippery ball. 

I hope it keeps raining. We can't just pray it never rains when we play. If we can't win on the MCG on a wet day we don't deserve to play finals.

Radar suggests itll have gone over well before the start. Hopefully the surface drains well
