There is no doubt how clever the technology is that shows ads on Demonland that reflect interests, concerns and likely sales opportunities. 

An excellent example is this ad with a picture of my face showing my frown and worry lines that is featuring prominently on my game day thread (best i don't mention the others):

The mind boggles as to what kind of ads bbo recieves!

Really hard to tell what that bit of rain out West will do by the time it gets to the GC (if at all...).  Either way, think it's most likely to be fine most of the time...

Well your the man on the spot,  local knowledge  and all that, still looks like a band of rain but not that much after that, but it can change  Enjoy the game and barrack hard   Go Dees

I’m sure we will find out if it’s raining when we get there. ?

Considering BOMs record I’m sure we all have a chance of being right  

 

if i'm any judge on the speed of the radar (doubtful) rain will hit the gold coast around the 2nd quarter ?

[dl4e 5,593]

MFCSS kicking in strongly. Not confident.

Personally I get quite a few Dan Murphys but I figure most Dees suppprtors are targets for this.?

Can’t see us winning this. We smashed Hawthorn who are proving to be a bottom 4 team and young GC side who are inconsistent. Let’s not get carried away. 
Brisbane are the form side in the competition. Their back line will make it hard for our forwards and their mids are as good as ours and use the ball extremely well going forward. 
 

I think we will lose by 5 goals. We are a borderline top 8 team. They are a top 4 team and my flag favorites. 

I might change my tune in 5 hours, but Brisbane have had a pretty easy run so far, beating Adelaide and Freo, out of form GWS and WCE (we got them at the wrong time!) and being smashed by Geelong. All of their wins have been at the Gabba (except GWS ALat Giants Stadium). They did beat the 2nd place PA which sounds good, until you realise PA have basically beaten the same teams: GCS, Freo, Adelaide, Eagles and GWS (and stuck in against Carlton).

It week be interesting  see how they go against us, Collingwood, Richmond, saints and dogs.

Yeah, that rain band seems to be building as it gets closer.  Looks like we might get a bit in next coupla hours.  Hopefully it'll have passed well before game time...

(Since 10am this morning until just a few minutes ago it has been clear and sunny...!)  Starting to cloud up a bit now...

No rain after 4pm according to the rain accumulation gauge.

[Little Goffy 12,631]

Don't discount the fun in a proper downpour being unleashed if that rain band hits the Gold Coast right as the temperature drops in the evening. Throw in just a little bit of backing up on the spot due to the heat island and one lucky push of wind back in from the coast at the right moment... Fwsooosh and only Gawn's eyebrows will be above the water line.

Tonight's the night, even the weather is going to be epic (as the kids say these days).

shb sick, bro

[Cards13 9,117]

I just want to know if it rains or not, I’ve got a negative post on selection for both scenarios.

[chook fowler 18,299]

I’m not in the mood for a loss, so they better be switched on!

[DemonOX 8,541]

Going to the game now. 
 

Come on dees don’t disappoint. 
 

GO DEMONS.

Yes, same here, I’m afraid. I think I shout at the TV either way. I realised last week that I ‘ride’ the team home, if they are winning, much like someone who has bet a $1000 on a horse!

[Ethan Tremblay 28,427]

If we get on top of their midfield, forward line and back line, we’ll win.

Is this get game day thread or the weather channel?? ?

Such wisdom. I feel as though I should be trying to snatch pebbles from the palm of your hand.

We are getting very technical on the weather front.

Maybe the local Dees on the Gold Coast heading to the game can give us an update upon arrival and just before the first bounce.

rain belt accelerating

estimate hit surfers in 45 minutes....more than a shower

duration maybe 45 minutes........so ending about 20 minutes before kickoff

At the end they highlight what a lot of us have been saying about Lockhart, hard running and shutting down options.

That's great vision of his run to cover McEvoy.  Something small but easily missed, and just an example of why they like having him in the side.

[3Dee 1,153]

Going to be a slippery one, hopefully not too heavy on the track as we've got a quick turnaround this week.

[Clintosaurus 6,471]

Not raining at the NRL at Robina. Ground looks fantastic too.

[dazzledavey36 48,864]

A fantastic highlight of Lockhart's hard work.

Glad he's getting the rewards internally because he sure as hell ain't from some of the fickle supporters going around here.
