The heat worries me a little!

It might be warm compared to Melbourne, but it really isn’t that hot today. Just leaving Brisbane, and the temp is south of 21 degrees.

Yes and it’s effects can linger beyond this week.

What’s it like in the stadium though.
21 and sunny in Perth feels like 31 on the ground at Optus.

How's the surface going to be given the VFL will play on it beforehand?

Still good enough I’d say.

I think they give a quick once over before the main event.

 

[Aphrodite]

As much as it hurt... I think in hindsight, that result was needed.

In the 8 all last year and to be knocked out of the 8 by 1 point in the dying minute and missing finals still hurts.

 

[passmark]

Geez hope we win I’ve been quite unforgiving in my bashing of Pies friends in the last 14 hours.
Could be a long weekend if we don’t get up.

Yes. And it may prove that we needed to be absolutely shizen for a long period this year before things could change.

But I’ve had enough heartache now thank you Carlton, just some good time now, hey?

For sure still hurts, that's my point. The lesson they get out of that might prove to be more valuable than had they snuck in and got bounced out straight away.

won't get anywhere near the heat we turned on last weekend at the g..........

 

[Benaly28]

21 degrees is not hot think we’ll be ok in that regard won’t be easy today at all but stick to the process we can grind out a win.

It feels high 20’s in the sun to me at the ground now. Apart from occasional breeze.

No late changes.
