Tempted to go to this game. Hurley has been a loyal servant of the club, and looking forward to seeing him play. Lets hope his body holds up, and he enjoys his return.

Anyone attending the game live, should know that there will be a literal bear running around on the ground. Be careful.

Brayden Sier playing for Gold Coast?

Weather;
8-15mm of rain, with a 20knot wind straight down the ground.

Hurley returns for a classic Windy Hill day of footy.

Don’t be ridiculous.

So you’re saying there’s a chance he could kick a goal from the centre square…

The right column is in metres/second, so only in the vicinity of 10 knots.

But still definitely a chance…

Forward or Back???

Unless someone has put a weather station at Windy Hill (unlikely) I assume you’re going off the nearest generic forecasts.
Based on 50 odd years of observations I’m doubling any forecast wind speed at the actual ground.
There is a reason it’s called Windy Hill.

In a similar way to Waverley Park receiving double any surrounding rain fall, and half the temperature.

I’m going & I reckon I can see most of the game before need I to get to Marvel.

There’s a train that leaves Essendon at 3.48 pm & arrives at Sth Cross at 4.02 for the 4.40 start

I’m not really a public transport kinda of guy but this works out nicely

It’s a shame it wasn’t Saturday, would they still get a few of the team there even though they play later in the afternoon?

wouldn’t be surprised if a few Bomber supporters pick this over going to Marvel in the afternoon

Am going to miss Hurley’s return. Will have to watch the replay, although am sure will get an idea of how he went with the comments that will be posted here.

(going to the Elvis movie).

Yep, I’m rearranging stuff now. I’m not missing this.
