nah, we're r00ted. rain band all the way back to radelaide

Maybe I’m reading the radar movements the way I would like to see things….. There is a bad patch coming now but I reckon (perhaps hope) that the worst of the showers will past us (or to the north of us) by 6pm or 7 at the latest🤞

I thought we were ok in the rain.

We're fine in the rain.  Just makes for unpleasant viewing.  It will be worth it at the final siren though.

Hope we are floaters and not sinkers 

 

Good work Richmond station. You have the Melbourne Storm playing on one side and Melbourne v Collingwood on the other side and they have both sides shut so you have to go the long way around. 


I was hoping we would beat the pies by 96+ points and put them into negative percentage territory. The rain has scuppered that particular wish unfortunately

No, it’s fake news 🙃 Rain hail or shine, I’ll be there - GO DEEs

ps I’m looking at an App ‘Windy’ that gives me the info I want (for all I know, this could be an app endorsed by Qanon).

On a half serious note, I have been caught out many times by referring to BOM’s hour to hour forward forecasts when it indicated rain. I think if you read into details, if there is a chance it will spit that will show up as rain. 
When I look at the Apple hourly forecasts (they obviously use different interpretations of what is ‘rain’ ) quite often it will show it will be dry - and to me more often than not have shown a more accurate or realistic projection 

Sadly, before I hit ‘send’ I just noted they both forecast rain! So …..I hope Windy is correct but I’m losing confidence.

On the upside, either way, we will smash them

Rain appears to be easing.

I went to a game in the ‘70’s, horethorn versus Fitzroy. My mate couldn’t stand Normie Goss. Every time he went near the ball, my mate booed. I remember thinking half way through the third quarter, “[censored], Paul is booing a lot”. Goss touched it 35 times. :-)

Actually, thinking about it, Goss would have won the Kingsley had it been awarded in the 1970's.

(Far out - - - serious madness setting in when a poster starts quoting himself.)

The way the poor bugger is being umpired he wouldn't get a free for that!


Melb by 10 goals. Even in the wet.

Miocek and Howe very questionable.

Adams out.

May and Lever will slaughter Miocheck or even that Giraffe.

Hibbo will smash 

Salem and Angus will mop all night .

No fear. The Deez are here.

Just went to the demon shop and bought a nice little pin set to add to my scarf. A nice little max gawn one holding the cup and a trac norn Smith medal one. 

Anyway at least at Richmond station they finally opened up

The poor bugger should stop dropping the knees.  The one against Essendon that caused all the uproar was only a mistake because it lingered high and became overly agressive.  AFL's call was contact was only high because JG lowered himself so intially the call of play on was correct but the "make him earn it" aspect that wasn't called a free was the error.

One thing you'll notice tonight is how insufferable the Collingwood supporter base are towards the umpires. By far the worst of all clubs.

All it will take is one marginal free kick go against them or not paid to them in the first quarter and they'll all be out of their seats and booing the umpires for the rest of the game as if they've already cost them the game.

Last week against Port, they booed and hurled abuse to the umpires in the AFL members both at half time and full time (despite actually winning the game) because they couldn't get over the fact that Ginnevan didn't get paid a free in the first 5 minutes of the game.

All the more reason they should get nothing.

3.4mm rain so far

small chance the rain band that should arrive about 8-9pm might pass to the north - let's hope

Edited by daisycutter

 

I just hope it doesn't get that close.

I really hope Viney comes out with the same mindset as last week with his brilliant tackling

Us winning the Flag last year changes everything.They are not equal to us they are in the pack trying like six other clubs to knock us off in a lousy lead up game.Bring it on because everything changed last year .We are Premiers until someone else is...

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
