Nothing to do with the NSW/VIC border.

It is the bands from the south marching north.

Call Tsatas. Wet-weather specialist senpai.

so we held them over in case it kept raining or even worse there is question mark/s on players who are in the side

They’re just passing showers. They will be largely gone after HT.

Hobbs is returning from injury and Caddy has never played an AFL season.
It’s not the end of the world they missed out on a ■■■■ rainy windy VFL game.
We want them for the next 3 months to be fully fit.

Doesn’t look like there will be much if any rain tonight. If there is it should be later in the game when we can activate the sub (hopefully by that time we have gained some advantage in the game due to the rucks)

It’s light showers.
Seriously.
They aren’t make or break.
It’s not a hail storm on its way.

10 years from now, this game will be the one @scotty21 organises a watchalong for. Tonight is the night the competition starts taking us seriously. This is the game we look back on and say “that was the start of the dynasty.”

Tonight’s menu? Smoked Cat.

No, just ensures wet weather type of slippery game. Rucks a risk.

It’s going to be dewey too.
A better than normal Melbourne winter game.

It’ll rain at some stage and still be okay.
This weather is not, drop your talls bad.

Interesting difference in initial warm ups: Essendon do a lot of structured run throughs and stretches, Geelong do the bare minimum and straight into ball work.
