    harden up guys. it's not 45 or anything. its 38 and it'll probably be around 35 at the time they start playing and dropping by the minimum 

    That is shade temperature 

    it will be much hotter in the middle

    I spoke to the players, QLD is more humid, impacts their breathing, all like what it brings to the preaseson though

    Had about 5 'really' hot sessions in Melb this year, I know I've been at all of them

    What's the question Alex?

    I thought I would impart the knowledge I had second hand from the players

    Also spent 10 years there playing soldiers, the couple of players I discussed it with knew that, so we discussed the impact of strenuous activity in that humidity 

    Only difference being I was kitted out in greens, boots, packs and a thing that went bang

    So therefore in conclusion thought it was ok to answer

    Take the immediate heat away from the issue and they’ll be operating at a higher density altitude than they’re used to .. I.e. they’ll be effectively playing at a higher altitude, slightly starved of the usual oxygen concentration that they’re used to.. 

    Nothing an EFC “supplement injection” or two couldn’t fix..

    I don't care what temp it is, I will still be there with my camera gear. (Easy to say as I'm not playing I guess)

    Both sides have to play in the same weather so it's not a huge issue IMO. The season is long and a slowish start won't be the end of the world for any of the serious contenders.

    In MFC i trust.

    AH, good old Shepp.

    Miserable, dreary 5 Celsius in winter, and blistering hot 44c in Summer.

    Still wish I was going to the game.

     

    For anyone worried about the ground condition, it is (usually) very well prepared for these types of games.

     

    Anyone who has actually played in hot conditions knows that it's never as bad as it seems. You're focussing on the ball, on the game. You're running, you're getting the wind in your lungs.  They'll be fine. Such a precious bunch you are.

    It won’t even be as bad as Port Pirie which is where the JLT showdown is.

    A question for our Qld members, does the Sunshine Coast / Gold Coast get much hotter than low 30's.  My recollection is that it tends to be pretty consistent around the 29c - 32 mark.  I think Melbourne could even experience more "Hot" days.

    regardless 38 degrees is significantly hotter than the preparation most clubs can plan/cater for, plus it is dry heat which effects you differently.  

    Clarrie will likely need to be dipped in a bath of sunscreen every 15 min's to avoid 5 degree burns!!!

     

    We can get around mid to high 30's at times but mainly around the 30- 35 degrees during summer and as Saty mentioned it can be very humid.60-80% at times so stiffling heat. This year we have had no real storms to speak about to cool things down. Up until yesterday (29 degrees tops) we have had 40 odd days of above 30 degrees and humid with little or no rain.


    Paddy Guinane and Freddy Swift would be wearing long Sleeves to stop the sunburn if they were playing.

    The AFL are probably beholden to their broadcast partners and therefore this is not an option for them.

    stuff 'em...  they can put it on replay,  this time of year.

    Smart decision.

    I'd rest Gawn, Brayshaw, Petracca, Lewis, Salem, Harmes, Hibberd, Vanders and Jetta.

    Give Fritsch a run. Probably don't risk Tommy Mc or Oliver though. Or Jones, Melksham, Viney and May.

    That leaves 16 from the team v Pies:
    Spargo, Stretch, Frost, Preuss, JKH, Weideman, Oscar, Hunt, ANB, Hore, Sparrow, Garlett, T Smith, Wagner, Wagner, J Smith

    Fritsch makes 17. Would like to see Maynard, Baker, Petty, Keilty and a few of the young guys to fill out the side.

    For those who are trekking to my home town of Shepparton for the game.... I’ll be going back to my old ground of Deakin Reserve the day after my daughters wedding here in Ballarat. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to post some pics on the long drive home Sunday night.

    Wearing 'greens', great vintage, McQ. Still, better than the safari suit.


    AFL is activating the Heat Policy:

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-02-28/afl-to-enact-heat-policy-for-jlt-this-weekend

    The quarter-time and three-quarter time breaks will run for eight minutes (increased from six minutes), while the half-time changeover period has been extended to 22 minutes rather than the usual 20 minutes.

    Teams will also be permitted the following:

    • Two additional water carriers
    • Trainers permitted to enter the arena at any time during the match to deliver water (they must remain well clear of play).

    Only sensible thing to do!

    Edit.  It looks like all teams in the JLT play with an extended bench.  Tonight, Carlton have 5 on the bench and Ess have 8.  https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-02-28/final-teams-carlton-v-essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
