‘Windy’. You can download a free version which is more than adequate. I honestly forget what features are enhanced / unlocked when you pay for a subscription. Fingers crossed it is accurate tonight! One forecast mode says a bit of weather (0.2ml 5pm ish and the other says it will occur 7pm. Either way should be fairly dry for most of the evening (showers at the moment slightly north of us moving slowly west!)🤞

I know I’m banging on about it but BOM says chance of showers all day. What a load of crap.(Just like it did for last Friday’s game - which didn’t rain one bit during the game) (The app I look at shows a number of forecasts, one says a shower around 5pm, the other at 7pm) At worst there may be a shower…….so all of us that can, turn up and be loud and proud. FFS, it would be nice to outnumber the opposition supporters at our last home game for the year. Is that too much to hope for?

Nah, all good- fifth time lucky! It will be a smashing…… I hope

I’ve been told that I look like a Feral supporter so I think you can guess what I will be doing To boo or not to boo. I just hope heaps turn up tomorrow night - is it too much to think (hope) that at the very least, we will outnumber the opposition at our last home game- and make more noise? I keep saying, we owe it to our boys. GO DEES

Just want our boys on the field to turn up and not just beat them but deestroy them. Just want our supporters to turn up in droves and give them hell

For what it is worth. Last week I presume a lot of people kept away from the footy because of the rain that was forecast. It didn’t rain at all during the game. BOM in its hourly projections said it was going to rain (The icon symbols can be misinterpreted and therefore be misleading- the way I read it, if there is even a small chance of showers it will show up a ‘rain icon’ , if that makes sense). The app I used (Windy) draws on BOM data but interprets it differently- in my mind more realistically! It said the showers would be gone by 7pm and that is what happened. Right now BOM says it should be raining where I live- and it isn’t and it hasn’t been! It indicates (the hourly forecast) for Richmond for showers right now , all day and through to tomorrow night and through to Sunday!. My guess is that this is unlikely, sure there will be some showers but not all the time (therefore is somewhat misleading). My app says there will be some showers this arvo and more importantly showers tomorrow from about 4 to 7pm and then dry. Obviously the forecast will change between now and then. Why the long dribble you may ask? In short , BIG game tomorrow night, we need to OUTNUMBER Carlton supporters and show LOUD support for our boys. Surely the Cripps decision is incentive to turn up. I would urge you to spur some of your fair weathered friends to turn up. And if there happens to be some showers tomorrow night, keep in mind it is only falling water. Also, keep in mind that no matter how loud you barrack at home, the boys can’t hear you. As always, not having a go at the elderly, Covid concerned, distance issued supporters. One last thing. For those of us that turn up tomorrow night, just remember that you are not going to the opera, you are going to the footy- make some bloody noise!

I have to admit, this is true ….. but every now and then it is good to be angry. Can’t wait until tomorrow night

We would have lost on a AFL technically, that being ‘is he high profile player?’

After we smash them this Saturday

Professional effin entertainment, that’s all it really is. Money talks.

If this doesn’t rally our supporters to turn up Saturday night I don’t know what will. We need to outnumber their fans and back the boys into smashing them. Will I be booing Cripps every time he gets near the ball? [censored] yeah!

Let’s tear Carlscum apart

Only problem is he most likely wouldn’t get off and would be given 3 weeks!

This is an absolute farce. Whether he gets off or not I hope it spurs our lads not just to beat them, but to absolutely crush them

Just guessing here, but you two would obviously be smarter than all of them put together. Keep the faith!

But, but, but…… I love to hate!

I wish I had your strength! I suffer greatly at times (last Friday night was a very good example of me feeling great pain and hatred at the same time) GO DEES!

No one’s perfect, or alternatively, we all have our flaws 😊

Carlscum is a close second on my long ‘hate list’

Great stuff. Now make sure you rock up to the G this weekend. It is just so important that we vastly outnumber the opposition For what it’s worth, the weather app that I use shows at the moment that there will be no rain when we play on Saturday evening 🤞(yes I know BOM says it will be wet - just like it did for last Friday evening). GO DEES!

One game at a time. Focus on Carlscum and Carlscum only for this week. Worry about next week, next week GO DEES!!!

Climate change scientists believe that the Colliwobble season that usually commences in September may start sooner this year- like maybe as early as this coming weekend. Go Swans, kick their @r$es

Fair points. I was just expressing my frustration at what to me appears to be a supporter base that has more than its average of fair weather supporters. My hope being that these supporters whilst at home (presumably at the very least watching our boys perform on tv) also then take the time to breed the next generation of supporters who will rebel and do the opposite of what their parents did. I am joking of course……okay, maybe just half joking.

I 100% agree with this comment. Last year, the Covid situation l believe actually helped us. Would we have beaten Geelong at Geelong if there was a crowd there? I honestly don’t think so. I’m sure there were other games but I’m too lazy to do the research. Did the incredibly biased crowds in the West assist us in the finals? Bloody oath. People talk about the noise the Filth fans made last week. Yep it was incredible and it most certainly helped the Pies (and didn’t help us one bit). Just as a side note, may be hard to believe, the support we received in the west was even more incredible. Both finals were the noisiest games I’ve ever attended (no doubt helped by the acoustics of the ground) No wonder our boys were so excited to try and do it all again in front of their real fans this year. Sadly, we have had the home grown advantage but not the home crowd advantage in some of our key home games this year. In my opinion this was telling when we played Fremantle and Sydney at home. Just guessing here. It seems the boys set themselves to do well when they play interstate games and have done well. Less so for home games. I just hope fans turn up in their droves this Saturday. No doubt this has been a tougher year for us than last year. I still have faith in our lads. We are still contenders- our team could also do with a little (a lot) more support on game day from their fans.

I know it’s the wrong thread but I just saw that TMac is now 3- 5 weeks away on the AFL injury update. Not sure if it spin, or I am delusional or both… but I live in hope 🤞
