Why did they change the time?

Does anybody have any idea why? I was going to go, but will get back too late now so won't bother and watch it on foxtel

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

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

Dont forget to tape the game for me Redleg! Somehow I dont think any bars in Rio de Janeiro will be showing the classic first round NAB Cup showdown between the Dees and Cats!

[Guest redandbluethruandthru]

doesn't matter if its 45 degrees, the dees will smash cats

Done, both live and the replay on Sunday morning.

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

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

Taping is the way to go it seems.
