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!!

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.

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?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
