The Melbourne Football Club are in Alice Springs for the Heart of the Nation game against the Greater Western Sydney Giants and need to win today in order to consolidate their place in the Top 4.

Weather permitting I’m expecting a solid 5-6 goal win full of running

I'm expecting this

Weather forecast please?

We will smash them.

Keep Toby Greene quiet (either tight defending or restrict supply) we will win the game.

And kick straight. Can we please just kick straight.

We flick the switch or our lights go out?! 😂

Whoo hoo at last it's game day.

Obviously quite excited about this one because I think we will win.

Suffice to say we can't afford to lose it.

Dees by thirty points.

Tx. I think I'd prefer dry conditions though. I thought it had a dry climate.

This is giving me a migraine.

Let's hope we remove gws chances like a Starc delivery.

It's very cold by Alice Springs standards. Yesterday was the coldest maximum June temperature recorded ever recorded there, reaching the lofty heights of 7.4 degrees and eclipsing the previous record of 7.7 degrees set in 1956 🥶

Except it was July yesterday 🤣, so not as interesting, not the coldest but [censored] cold nonetheless.

We won a flag in 56, hopefully a good omen!

Better park the bus

At long last game day.Is it still 2023

Yes [coldly] cold picket...I can't comprehend the censoring on DL at times 😉

Well , I don't want to upset the Alice Springs tourism people but I can confirm, it's a miserable grey drizzly morning. 

And ... on that note ..... I'm heading off to find a decent bistro with the intention of consuming a huge breakfast.

Dees by 27 points !

Grey day 

Awful morning here, raining and cold.

Can’t imagine there being much of a crowd 

Just win Dees!  My optimism has waned following the Geelong capitulation, and I’m feeling distinctly uneasy about this.

Why not. Sounds like someone's been telling porkies about the weather up there. Speaking of pork , have some bacon for me. Stick it to our cardiologists.

Porkies?

 

Really?

Thanks for the updates @Rod Grinter Riot Squad and @Bitter but optimistic.

History and evidence alone this year will say we completely struggle in the wet and fail to adapt to wet weather football.

Let's hope it eases up before the bounce.

Keen for a solid dees win followed by a 2nd test win for the Aussies. How good is sport
