Review Intra Club this Friday at Henson Park

[Membling]

With you J_Moore.

Doing anything in this heat is a stupid idea.

 

[RW]

Yeah I can't understand it either to be honest.

[Jeffers]

Made it. It's ******* insanely hot. Hopefully the players take good care out there

 

[RUNVS]

It was so stupid organising the intra-club match for today. Anyone with half a brain and access to the internet would have been able to figure out Friday was going to be an awful day to do this.

It was organised months ago, when the draw for the preseason came out.

They should cancel it. This is stupid. There is nothing to be gained from going ahead - no one's going to actually be able to try very hard.

It's all risk and no upside. Sorry to three- or low four-figures worth of sad cases that made the trip out (i wish that included me). Go get some Vietnamese or a beer at the Henson or whatever, make a night of it.

The Henson is a really good bar.

Could have played it in the morning if they had to do it today surely!

KJack and Reid with early goals.

cmon Reid

It's literally dangerous to exert yourself in this heat. If they don't cancel I hope they at least play 10 minute quarters or something to keep it safe.

Anyone know if there is a stream?

 

[strauchanie59]

Perhaps the heat is a factor in why some of the players are missing?

Swans players go missing when the heat gets turned up? Sounds familiar.

Haha, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that post.

 

[SydneyPhilly]

People who are there, anything on Florent?

I hope when we have a regular season game in this heat, the other team adopts the approach prescribed by people in this thread and don't bother to play. You have to play AFL in whatever conditions are there, so you should train in them too. Play on.

Its a winter sport for a reason.

With you J_Moore.

Can't agree, drinking an icy cold G&T is a great idea!

Unless the swans players get a sex change to play in the Womens AFL, I doubt there will be a +40 degree day in the middle of winter.

Sure.


But this is not an AFL game. It is training. Why risk it. Not usual conditions to hold a match in anyway

Unless climate scientists are a minimum 5-10 degrees short with their predictions about global warming at 2100, we are not going to have a regular season game in this heat.

 

[Haso]

First half down. Nobody dead. Ambos at the ready though.

Hannas working himself into the ground.

Reid enthusiastic but inaccurate.

Tippet not getting a lot of it.

It's hot as balls.

I don't think my XXXX cap is going down well.

 

[RW]

Agree with this, as long as conditions are actually safe to play in. 40+ degrees is considered to be extreme heat by most people's standards. Not much to be gained by going ahead with a scratch match in these conditions I would have thought.

 

[swansfan51]

All the "I'll back the club management in" brigade have changed their tune pretty quick. Probably all in shock that the players have turned up when the heat is on

Look if that's the case agriculture shuts down and the sort of advanced economic society needed for professional sport dissapears so its moot.
