Well, folks, the big rain band has just cleared away from us here at Mudgeeraba.  So, I was able to venture outside and measure the rainfall.  Between 7am yesterday and 10 am today, we have had fully 170 mm of rain!  (And, that's near the top of my gauge, so who knows how much splattered out the top!  Got a gully behind my house, and it is fairly raging through there!  Good news is that it is supposed to clear up later in the day.  Right now I can even see some blue sky!

Best weather report I have ever seen Vagg and probably more accurate than the tv weather. 
 

Good work and I hope u r right.

    GAME DAY oh yeah baby. Got a pastrami on the smoker and a Ruben sandwich (if you don't know look it up) for dinner, gotta try stay of the cans long enough though. 4 am start tomorrow isn't going to be fun, especially getting through the permit zone into NSW...

    I've watched three sides ( Suns, Tiges and Port ) dominate quarters yet not put the score on the board and lose. We need to take our chances today or suffer the same fate.

    How's the weather up Corowa way Joshy? Cloudy and grey up in here in Albury currently. The permits have been a disaster with some of our Wodonga folks at work.

    I was more confident before watching Hawthorn flounder against Sydney yesterday. 
    Brisbane are going to be a real test for us today. 
    10 point win. 


    I can understand why some are nervous about us playing in potentially wet conditions - in the past we haven't exactly set the world alight in these instances.

    But I get the feeling we are better prepared for it than in the past.  We love the ball hitting the deck up forward and there will be plenty of that today.  I think we've got the right mix there to give them some real trouble, while Weideman at the very least can crash a few packs and give the smalls a chance.  Also, hopefully this means there won't be as many intercept marks from their tall backs and we can give them a contest every time it goes inside 50.

    We have the midfield bulls around the contest as well, while Max has the tank to go all day and wear McInerney down.  The big fella won't be getting any smaller and Max should be able to give us first use.

    And our back line has been excellent as of late.  Jetta, Lockhart and Salem (and possible even Jones) are all tough around the contest, and we know what we'll get from our three talls.

    The Lions are a terrific football side but I like our chances today, whether it be raining buckets or just a little slippery.

    Yeah a bit overcast, typical winter's day I guess. Cops on the corowa bridge have been fantastic. Frustrating that we can't move around freely but we all have to do our part x no matter how great or small.

    Still bucketing down here on the GC.  Think there's a chance the worst of the rain will be gone by later today.  Once it eases off, the surface at Carrara will dry out very quickly, so still hope conditions won't be too bad this evening

    Live half way between Bris and GC and it is starting to clear. Top Temp of 23 so agree Vagg the ground will dry out by 6pm and be in OK condition. Looking forward to this game and the Port, Magpies and hopefully North games. At our best we will beat the Lions.

    I’m a Albury local too. Fortunately only had to travel once to Wodonga and that was enough of a headache.

    Yeah a few of my wodonga workmates have had to adjust their work times just so they can beat the traffic.

    A lot of confused locals with the whole permit thing, many local businesses unfortunately suffering as well.

    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.

    Brilliant Brady. Enjoy the game.

    I have really missed watching us live this year. But i love it that some dees fans can now get to some games.

    You must be pumped the tassie game looks as if it will now be at the Gabba or Metricon.

    Go Dees.

    " Abandon hope all ye who barrack for the dees"  I think that's in the bible somewhere. Either Revelations, or the bit which has " Blessed are the cheesemakers "

    And if you haven't read the bible yet, don't bother. I've read the end.   The devil did it !!!!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
