    The heat I'd say

    From AFL website:

    "The AFL has announced it would alter the match conditions for a number of games in this weekend's opening round of the 2008 NAB Cup, to allow for extreme weather conditions in a number of states."

    The predicted high of 26 isn't that bad. Maybe we should change the time of the demonland game on sunday to accomodate the heat then too. Will foxtel or saintsational allow us to change the time of our game on sunday then? Might get more viewers in prime time!!

    Also, by doing this - it's an attempt to stop clubs winging about the new interchange rule, in anticipation of forecasted high temperatures :rolleyes:

    Predicted temperature at the time of the change was 32 celsius. It is now predicted to be 29 c. Hopefully it will drop another degree or two and the later start will make it cooler for the players and spectators. I will be there with Whispering Jack and Mrs. Redleg.

    Sorry I have given Melbourne temperatures above. The current prediction for Geelong is 26 on Saturday.

    its because of the heat but also because there a limited interchangers and because the AFL know they have stuffed up with the rule, insted of taking the rule back and saying sorry there covering it up by taking it back an hour and saying were trying to help the clubs :rolleyes:

    What time is the replay on Sunday?

    I won't get to watch the entire match on Saturday as I have to be in the city at 6:30, so Sunday replay might be the way to go.

    Stupid AFL planning, as if you can't work out that it gets hot in February and properly schedule games to begin with :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Replay at 7am on Fox Sports 2 [Foxtel online TV Guide]

    Done, both live and the replay on Sunday morning.

    Now, why on earth would you need to tape the same game live and then on replay? Are you expecting the result to change the second time around?

    Ha, there is little to no chance I will be conscious at 7am on Sunday morning :mellow:

    Taping is the way to go it seems.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
