The BOM has updated for Thursday.

It's gone from 2-8mm to 1-4mm.

20 degrees at lunchtime. 14 at the first bounce.

The iphone weather app (yeah I know LOL!) is saying that all the rain will occur from 7pm to 10pm.

I actually find the iPhone app to be weirdly accurate... but only 24 hours out. Any earlier and it's basically a random guess like any other weather app out there.

Every chance the showers won't start until the end of the game or even later. Friday is now meant to be the worst rain of the week.

Updated my BOM app for android and the weather seemed to change with it. No hail in the evening now.

LOL shows you how accurate it is.

I would not bother checking until tomorrow after lunch, and even then it'll change 10 more times.

My guess; it will either rain, or it won't.

AccuWeather says a couple of nothing showers in the late afternoon and a 7% chance of a shower at 6pm and nothing after that. Don't bother with the ponchos folks just the red and blue scarves will be fine for the... murder.

Tmac in the wet. Strewth

Maybe they'll go with  Spargo or JJ.

No other change.  

 

While i wouldn't expect Macca or any KPFs to kick a bag in wet or greasy conditions i reckon we already have too many dour types that don't worry the scorer DB.

Spargo & JJ are just two more that rarely do.  Both also struggle with distance in the dry let alone poor conditions.

We need to put a winning score on the board even in dodgy conditions.

Macca will also most likely get Moore as well which may free up JVR a little.

I expect we might put someone on Moore to drag him around.

Not sure if Tmac still has that tank.. Fritta likes covering territory.

I'm not a KISS fan, and agree it is crazy not to book Aaussie bands, but there is one big difference to meatloaf. 

Meatloaf was very much a has been and decades past being a top seller.

I heard Gerard Whately say something similar ie kids won't know who KISS are. But in fact he was just showing out of touch he is. 

KISS remain huge and continue to find new, young audiences all over the world. They are huge with kids now.

People don't but CDs much anymore, but KISS are making a fortune from streaming.

On spotify they get over 13 million monthly listeners and their most streamed song is I was made for loving you with over 800 million streams. 

Those numbers aren't all old foggies reliving their misspent youth. Millions of kids love them.

For the same reason they continue to rake in serious coin with touring . Their last major tour was i think 2019. KISS were the only hard rock act in the top 10 grossing tours in the US that year, coming in at number 7, grossing more that $80 mill US

2019 Top 10 North American Tours

1. The Rolling Stones ($177.8M gross; 784,652 tickets sold)
2. Elton John ($157.4M gross; 1,155,510 tickets sold)
3. Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band ($97.0M gross;, 867,925 tickets sold)
4. Pink ($87.9M gross; 624,419 tickets sold)
5. Ariana Grande ($82.6M gross; 700,053 tickets sold)
6. Jonas Brothers ($81.7M gross; 769,310 tickets sold)
7. KISS ($81.6 M gross; 800,302 tickets sold)
8. Fleetwood Mac ($77.5M gross; 544,286 tickets sold)
9. Garth Brooks ($76.1M gross; 856,000 tickets sold)
10. Justin Timberlake ($75.6M gross; 568,449 tickets sold)

On top of all of that they continue to make millions annually from merchandise (having more than a billion dollars in merch sales over their career).

They aint no meatloaf. 
 

 

I didnt mean it in the context of populaity just the fact its another golden oldie band from a foreign country. We cant do better?

Actually I have a place ready to go in the 50 years member section.

The point is that calling it by stats is why David King gets it wrong so often.

I'm intuiting from what I've seen watching live as well as on Kayo 

Both teams..the advantage of MCC membership. 

I may be completely wrong of course

Perhaps, but my other intuition is that they were short DeGoey and several others( yeah Daicos I know) and two theoretically equal sides tend to trade victories.

I know Pies fans who are nervous about this game .

Hopefully it is good entertainment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
