Isn't it boring without footy. I hope we can extend the season a bit.

5 weeks would be about the right amount, IMO

Yes, they are the father of 23 Western Bulldogs

 

[Freomaniac]

And some of them will rock up in their Eagle colours like they did for the Brisbane game.

Absolute idiots.

Again.... It doesn't bother me.

I remember 10 years ago back in 2016 and 2017 WAFL grand finals when Peel Thunder beat Subiaco, there were eagles fans at those grand finals.

Mainly to cheer for Subiaco . They dislike Peel Thunder for the dockers links and Peel was our reserves side

I don't mind a 24 game season over 26 weeks, just like the NRL

Reckon that if BOM is predicting this amount of rain 6 days out, we should be expecting a wet game…thank goodness our seats are undercover…

Plus bevo too

 

[FreoGirl]

the wait is horrible

 

[Spirit Level]

Hope the crowd still turns up....

Probs unlikely to beat the crowd from the 2022 elim final now though unfortunately

I thought we might have another edge with it raining and our strong Victorian percentage players... but turns out Suns have a lot of Vics as well...

I'm sure guys like Serrong, Voss, Kahuna, Reid are used to playing in the wet - so I'm not sure we make any changes on the weather? Thoughts?

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

They'll be used to playing with wet balls, won't be an advantage to us. Game style adaptation and who wants it more will be the winner

 

[pK75]

Any news on Switta’s knee? I’m hoping it’s just Johnson in for wags.

you know SE QLD gets nearly twice the annual rainfall of perth, right?

it just happens in a different time of year

We won't find out anything until Thursday. The injury report will say he is a test.

It is far too early to have any idea if it will rain during the game.

Even if it rains during the day, it could easily done by the time game starts. I would guess, that the strong winds would mean the rain should blow over pretty quickly, plus it may give us an advantage kicking for goal.

Yesterday it was 3-20mm…now it’s 2-15 so it’s getting better

I would find that truly bizarre that someone would purchase tickets to a final and then not turn up.

It's probably going to be wet but the worst of the weather looks to be passing Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. There is a chance it could have cleared up at least a bit by game time. Unfortunately though, we will be in the pool of cold air behind the cold front and there will be the odd shower.

 

[Paracleet]

At this point the forecast has the rain peaking between Friday evening and Saturday morning. It's possible that there could be just a few odd showers on the game or even none.

Of course being this far out it could arrive earlier or instead arrive later and be pissing down at bouncedown.

 

[Alfonz]

Seabreeze is showing very high winds from Friday noon until Sunday morning. Not sure if this complicates the weather forecasting. Things could blow through quickly. Or we could get a double whammy of wind and rain, which makes the game a crapshoot.

I worry a little about the crowd. Not in terms of numbers, but the Carlton game had miserable weather and a shocking crowd with zero energy. I think it clearly rubbed off on the players. I hope a final is enough to get people up and about, and we start well to keep the crowd fired up.

 

[noise36]

The weather forecast is a real bummer! looks like I wont be sitting in my seat to watch the game.

 

[Taylor]

Do you remember that game earlier this year where it was freezing and pouring? The forecast for that right before the bounce was a near 0% chance of 0.25mm - and I suppose that was correct. It was far more. (I know that's not what 0% means in their prediction models)
