If I were a player you'd nearly want the round to be rescheduled..
That's a very valid point won't be much fun On the field this Saturday. I predict all games will be cancelled

why ? . It makes for a whole different strategy. IT is a winter sport. I guess Brisbane is just used to a dry winter for so long. But other states the game is played in rain.

Don't get me wrong, playing in the wet was fun. But it was always a sloppy low scoring game.. Even teams that are struggling can manage to get up once that footy get waterlogged!
Sorry, I missed a word in my post
From my understanding and from what I've heard Buzz has a lot of *PHYSICAL* similarities to Alistair Clarkson

They have a bye round dedicated to wash out games
Thanks Yahtzee

I think Mighty Pirate is right that it will be taken out of all of our hands. From a club point of view hard to make any money on these sort of days as well so really it is a loss of a home game for revenue. Plus the school may have a say in us churning up the oval when we have just started to get it looking alright. Best of luck to all teams if games go ahead. Sides not playing will be happy as percentage might be an issue late in the year so they may get advantage on a dry track.

They have already pulled the pin on yeronga Burleigh. Seems it won't be about the weather at time of play but condition ground is already in and how much water it's holding. If your free and want to play get ur brooms and buckets out!
Forecast for tomorrow is actually pretty good with rain expected to clear late tonight.
Proof?

Hardly unexpected. Aussie Rules footy in QLD is a dry weather only sport it seems.

So for those who haven't been in Qld Footy for the last 15 years like myself, it all started way back when we had "drought like" conditions in and around Brisbane and water restrictions. So to play on a wet day meant ground got churned and as sometimes it then didn't rain for months, they were left bare, dry and too hard to play on. It seems this mantra has continued since then despite changed conditions. Being in the industry, there are also the insurance concerns and I know you will all say WTF has insurance got to do with it, well unfortunately nowadays, some people who fall over in the wet or slide into a fence will get a number off the TV and think, hey there is a buck in it for me... And so starts the slippery slope risk vs return... Anyways, just some background, not backing or bagging the decision, but I did love to play in the wet!!!
