Sorry to rain on your parade (chortle!), but the weather app is now saying that from 7pm onwards, there's a 70% to 80% chance of rain at Sydney Olympic Park.

We have seats on the boundary so I am hoping for no rain tonight!

    Which weather app is that? The BOM app says "Medium (60%) chance of showers along the coastal fringe, slight (30%) chance elsewhere, during the evening and at night." I assume Giants Stadium being at Sydney Olympic Park wouldn't be considered to be "coastal fringe".

    I don;t think the Lions will mind the rain

    They played Essendon in a deluge a few weeks back, played the conditions perfectly, surging the ball forward at every opportunity. Daniel Rich gained over 900 meters which was ridiculous given the circumstances.

    If it’s raining I hope we just make sure it’s in our forward 50. Then set up for a quick kick out. We don’t need to win pretty. No need for a thousand handballs in the middle if it’s so wet. This is where decision making and footy smarts will come into play if conditions change

    if only...

    Bulldogs made it relatively easy for us last week by playing the switch and boundary line game in an effort to deny Lever and May the easy ball.

    Not sure Lions will make the same mistake. If they can run it quickly and go over Lever we are vulnerable.

    Player for player they have a more reliable forward line.

    My guess is that it will come down to goal accuracy.

    Really interesting game. Melb defensive system v's Bris attack.

    Melb has only conceded more than  73 points once this season,  96 points to Adel being the outlier

    Bris has kicked scores of 102, 103, 93, 95, 124, 102 and 129 the last 7 weeks.

    If we can keep them below 80 points I reckon we'll win.

    Very interestimg Stats Grimey (if I may)

    They have some fwd firepower so lets hope we do as you say ...what we normally do and strangle their scoring.

    On top of this we have not really been able to score as high as them. But we do have some significant firepower of our own in Tom and Fritta. If Sam and Kozzie and Spargo and Nibbler and Melk and Jackson can fire we could be the ones. kicking 100 plus.

    I cant find the stat ATM, but the Lions mostly get away to to great start in the 1st qtr. This is what the Dogs relied on last week as we had been seen as catching up during the games and our fitness outlasting oppositions, but we jumped them instead in the 1st which stuffed their tactics. So we need to stick with Brisbane in what may be an unbelievably torrid 1st quarter tonight.

    McCluggage and Robinson are the 2 to stop in my opinion. They lift the others around them.

     

     

    Lions have won 6 and lost 5, 1st qtrs.

    Not underestimating the Lions whatsoever as they're clearly in the best three sides in the comp and have an impressive 7 game winning streak.

    However since their poor loss to the Dogs in round 4 in Ballarat, they've only left the state once and that was in round 6.

    I'm hoping a match interstate will upset their momentum and routine and we can benefit from it.

    They've played about 23 of their last 28 games in QLD.

    Yeah I’m starting to feel a little more confident today.

    Besides there after the siren win against an average Collingwood, have they won outside of Qld, I don’t think so.

    Also , we are not favourites any more so even more reason to be confident.

    Will be tight but we can win this!

    It’s the Weather Channel app, but since I wrote that comment, it’s now showing cloudy until 9pm then a 40% chance of rain from 9 onwards. I give up when it comes to getting accurate weather reports that don’t change by the minute.

    • 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

      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.
