Morning shower or two ... you guys are totally going overboard.

Who cares if it rains anyway? We have enough class on the ground to win anyway. Couldn't be a better time to lose the wet weather tag.

Sunday, showers expected.

We're ****ed...

I'll make a few calls and pull a few strings hopefully to get my old mate the sun to make an appearance for a couple of hours in the afternoon. I cant promise anything though.

i hope it rains actually. it would be a good chance to prove we can play well in the wet.

Would be all good and well if we actually could play in the wet, unfortunately, all we will prove is that the only thing we hate more than the wet is travelling interstate!

Had to laugh last year when we played Adelaide at Footy Park in pouring rain. That's the closest thing to a guaranteed loss as you will ever see.

Waht do you mean closest. It IS a guaranteed loss.

We can hope, but geez Collingwood must be licking their lips.

If it rains - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Rioli pull out with a stomach bug.

A guaranteed loss is playing Port, in a final at AAMI in the pouring rain.

yeah i know we don't play well in the wet. what i meant was that if we have any aspirations to do anything this year, we need to be able to play well in all conditions.

they have no buckley,tarrant and burns under a cloud. If we cant win this :mad: !!!!

Also play Lucas at CHF he's our only wet weather player, if you look over stats when we play in the wet he's usually in the best 3.

And dont even think of bringing bradley in now, he'll look like a headless chook in the wet.

How do allan,murphy and alvey play in the wet?
 
The players are training at the moment in the most dreadful windy and wet Melbourne day in years ... you guys are totally over-reacting about the wet.

By Sunday afternoon, most of it will be cleared - will be lucky to see a light shower by game time.

It's not an issue with me either way, as long as we win - the margin can work itself out.
 
We are NOT ****ed morons!!! :mad:

Let Collingwood talk up their chances against our perceived weaknesses in the wet. Lets see where it gets them.

We have footballers who are accustomed to playing/training outdoors and in adverse weather conditions.

We'll be fine!! **** i hate pessimistic ****s!!

I don't think we play badly in the wet, as a rule. I just think, by coincidence, that a few of our poorer games in recent years have been in the wet. It's only really that one Anzac day game in 2002 that people refer to anyway, when regrading our wet weather play. We had a pretty gutsy win in the wet late last year over Melbourne at the 'G, that was an underrated performance.

A club trains outdoors all during the summer, and all during the season. It's only 2 hours of football 9 times a year at the Dome that we are indoors (18 hours) and I fail to see how 18 hours of football, compared to hundreds of hours of outdoor training is somehow going to make us worse in the wet.

I think it's a bit of a myth. I think we're as capable of playing in thr wet as any other team. Collingwood nearly play as many matches at the Dome as us. We play 9 and I think they play 7. Why should we be worse in the wet than them? Under what logic?

in the end of the day, no ones gonna judge a team on how well they train
