AFL - first week of finals

[Rooster Cogburn]

True, but they've played him there each time they've named him, so who knows?

 

[Ferris_rules]

I get the feeling the hairy cat - Cam Mooney may play tonight!

apart from the pissiest of all hailstorms about two hours ago, its a glorious day in Melbourne albeit a bit cold and windy. not sure if the forecast rain/hail will eventuate

In all seriousness thanks for the weather update.

Does the MCG have a good drainage system?

I still think the wet weather will help the Cats more than the Hawks.

I think they had LRT starting at HF or FF last night on AFL Teams, and same on the AFL site. Have you read differently?

team lists mean **** all, and you know that

Yep, no one else but 19yo Johnson will be able to play on Kozi. LRT will definitely get first crack, being a seasoned defender and ready made replacement for Grundy. He's only been played forward this year due to the excellentform of Richards and also because White has not been able to make FF his own.

Only a Melbournian could call have a hail storm and call it a glorious day

I was hoping it would be pouring rain So you think it may be a bit slippery but not wet? What about the next few days?

[KardiniaPark]

Just get him to read War & Peace, I hear he has a wild lisp.

like I said it was the pissiest hail storm ever. I was walking in it, would've lasted 20 seconds and been as small as a frozen drop of water could be. apart from that, blue sky

introducing Lenny29 our weathergirl lol.

Thanks for the heads up.

I think personally if its low scoring, that should suit the Cats more than the Hawks.

Im literally wetting myself, cant wait should be a cracker tonight.

Cats H-H price has dropped 5cents in the last hour!

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

Are any games being shown on Foxtel this weekend? Or is it only free to air?

 

[smashing]

nah all finals are FTA. they'll be replayed on fox though.

Are you refering to in nsw? I think whatever isn't on FTA will be on main event.

 

[Donkson]

Textbook Melbourne day that's for sure.

yeah, NSW. I couldn't see anything for tonight when I checked yesterday, and checking the TV guide looks like they decided showing "Along Came Polly" instead of the final would be a good idea.

Preliminary rage building

Edit: Rage fading, it's being shown on 7mate in Sydney.

Jesus I read the first few sentences and I nearly tipped my desk over

Consider yourself lucky. I'll be watcing online because 7 Perth couldn't interrupt Today Tonight and the news to bring it live. Nor could they use a second channel.

Thats really peeves me when they do that.

I mean anyone that follows AFL, will watch this tonight, its irrelevant if your team isnt playing, this is a massive match and arguably the biggest game of the season so far.

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

Bring on 2012 and the new Fox deal.

 

[Lensen]

just went outside for the first time on a few hours, still sunny and no sign of rain

hmmm location = Brisbane....I smell a mole.....

But yeah Lenny is right, absolutely canned down with rain @ 7:30am when I was driving home. Walked in the door at 7:50am, hail started. Woke up at 1pm and the ground and grass were completely dry with no rain since. Looking a bit darker now.

 

[Frankie23]

man I dunno if you're across it but the boffins have come up with various forms of transport that can take people from point A to pretty much anywhere in the world
