Rain for Friday? What happens?

[iwantmeseats]

Showers Thursday, showers Friday...

Any chance the intra-club may be cancelled ? I hope not.

Is football not a winter sport?

Yes, but everyone knows St Kilda can't play in the wet!

[SainterK]

Carlton called of theirs because of bad weather, I hope we are not so soft

[matrix]

take a brolly and some wellies

[plugger66]

If they think it is a danger for the players they may call it off and rightly so. We are only practicing for another practice match a week later. Having said that because it will be our last practice match before the real practice matches they are likely to go ahead. Carlton were going to have 2 games so calling theirs off wasnt as big a deal.

We played a GF in the rain... we lost

we need practice in the rain... play it... we may win

So, they can practice kicking opposition players this year, instead of their own.

[saint66au]

I would hope that nothing short of a tropical downpour of the highest magnitude would cause the game to be called off

Is there really that much higher risk of injury in the wet??

[Bernard Shakey]

The game will go on.

[Eastern]

Local showers around Moorabbin back then.. Very local showers

[mrkiss]

I was in the squad 84-94
and a very famous ex saint used to come in and grab us
for the sprinkler work
I myself think they would have been better on dry grounds oh well
