Doesn’t the AFL have an official procedure for delaying or ending matches played in storms?
Has it ever been used?

I can’t remember any matches played in thunderstorms, which would have to be a pretty big coincidence.
To have thousands of matches without lightning.

They definitely delayed a GWS-Sydney game in 2014 because of lightning & a thunderstorm at QT
