Geelong cut off from Melbourne by flood.

[gocatsgo]

To that Power supporter who expects his team to kick some Geelong butt next week, a word of warning! (on Geelong forum)

It appears that Geelong is now officially cut off from Melbourne due to the constant rain of the past few days. Apparently the rivers and creeks surrounding the town are not expected to peak until Thursday, that's if the rain stops now and it shows no sign of that at the minute. Given the fact that it is only Monday, and we still have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to go before the flood reches it's peak, one would assume that it would take just as long to go down - ie Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

If this is the case, it is going to be difficult for the Port Power side to actually get to the ground next week let alone actually kick Geelong's backside into submission as so confidently stated.

Surprisingly the ground itself is in excellent condition given the buffeting it has received and Sunday's weather is expected to be fine, 19 degress,

Mark Thompson is in a similar position, he lives in Melbourne yet won't be able to get to training all week and won't be able to coach on Sunday is this keeps up. Assistant coach and former Bears coach Norm Dare lives locally so he could take over if needed.

What is the AFL's policy if one team turns up to play and the other doesn't due to factors such as accident, flood, fire etc.

If you want to get to Geelong, you'll need to take a time capsule.

Awwww geeze I can't get to uni now, darn it

.... hope it keeps raining like this for the rest of the year!

Seriously though, if it does get to that, can't they (Thompson and the Port team) just catch the train? That's what they were recommending this morning for commuters and from what I've heard there weren't any problems. Or even just go through Ballarat.

Should have cut them off 10 years ago. Can we make this permanent?

Even the Americans laugh at him.

Is it true that you can't join the Geelong Cheer Squad unless your haircut pre-dates 1991?

Even though they have a miniscule cheer squad, it still has more inbred curios than any other I've seen.
The two that stick out most were the twit in the akubra hat and drizabone coat who spent more time gesturing to (and arguing with) the crowd than he did watching the game, and this short little fat sheila whose face wasn't painted but it was redder than Ftmch from the Young Ones!

 

[Same Old's]

Wasn't Geelong always cut off?

 

[ptw]

thanks for letting us know...

wouldn't have noticed otherwise !!!


ptw

Best news I have heard for ages.

Looks like I have another week off uni.

Of course, I agree with Same Old's. Geelong being cut off from the rest of the country is nothing new.

I wouldn't be making fun of oppisition cheer squads if I was you.Take a look at your own.Most look like they were on day release from Prison [and that was just the women] and there was this old codger who was at the front trying to get the ten Norf cheer squad members to chant.He wasn't having much luck.They looked like stunned mullets.

Geelong are taking these flooding tactics too far!

 

[JUBJUB]

Our flooding tactics are better than Rodney Eade's

too true - Eade had all the materials but wasn't able to flood the bummers out of the SCG.
