Correction: it’s only the middle third that is being kept empty. But they point people entering to just the one-third.
Ha, there’s a mini @Catherine_Lio Memorial Grandstand on the far wing. Two people there and a bar outlet just for them.
Waiting for confirmation on our bench end.
OK, we’re right of screen. Spotted the VFLW Volly of the Year.
10m longer than Kardinia Park, wet, exposed to wind, lightning.
Dis gun be good.
I’m pretty sure I’ll be escorted away from any warmup (if the teams are even allowed to come out).
<< rain intensifies, bigly >>
The front 10 of the 12 rows getting wet.
More lightning.
Crikey!
Last one was ~3km away.
Dyke loitering in our race.
Another strike 3km away just now.
The lights here are bright enough we can play through to midnight as needed.
Just announced game is delayed 15 minutes to 5:20
If that even happens, what odds the broadcasters switch to Melb-Cats before this finishes?
Dyke Ridewood Adams stab passes in the race.
Sarah Ford is here.
Velcro poke a look from the race. Mrs Prespakis here too.
Crowd is well under a thousand.
It’s all happening here.
Some idiot is walking on top of the stadium roof during a lightning delay.
Bet he didn’t get OH&S approval for that.
Lightning still within a 5km range, and warmups still to occur, so take that start time with a grain of salt.
Text from AFL.
Another lightning strike nearby.
Game now to start at 5:40pm
I am counting the seconds each time… more sporadic now.
Has been heavily raining for an hour now.
