Launceston weather for Saturday
A Few Showers. Mostly Cloudy. Cool. Breezy. 32 km/h WNW
Rain 3mm (42% chance) 82% humidity Min 5 Max 12
Perhaps a local authority can tell us if the wind will favour one end or the other.
Also, is there an umbrella policy?

Re: Launceston weather for Saturday
I have sent some of the latest weather forecasting technology down to Launcestonsaint to use and provide feedback prior to Saturday's game. The technology is a rock on a piece of string.perfectionist wrote:A Few Showers. Mostly Cloudy. Cool. Breezy. 32 km/h WNW

If the rock is warm = Sunny
If the rock is cold = Tasmania
If the rock is wet = Rain
If the rock is swaying = Windy
If the rock is standing sideways = Hurricane
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Re: Launceston weather for Saturday
I'm not a local authority but it would favour the outer side to the right hand side of the tv coverage. (coverage side wing to opposite forward pocket)perfectionist wrote:A Few Showers. Mostly Cloudy. Cool. Breezy. 32 km/h WNW

Yeah, there is an umbrella policy, don't bring them.

15 mls in LAUNNIE won't affect Aurora much, it's one of the best drying grounds in the country.saintspremiers wrote:11 degrees now for a max, not too bad for Tassie!
Looks like a lot of rain (50+ mills) for Strahan but about 15 mills for Inceston over this coming week, so the ground could be slippery.

Sounds like it's going to be a typical Launceston slog in the wet and windy conditions.
Do we really need to attend? These games are just a nuisance now,everyone is out to beat us. We can't gain anything from this match apart from unwanted injuries and sore bodies. Forfeit the game,no injuries,and the loss we had to have ...win/win.
Think about forfeiting the Essendon game too the week after. Then we'll come back from a break and beat the Roos and sharpen up our skills at the G the week after. Common sense managment is required from here on in

I've been asked to ensure the quarters finish on time.

Only joking for any cat lovers, no RSPCA visits please.

Playing when there is lightning around can be lethal.
Electrical engineering practice uses a rolling ball approach to determine if a point is safe.
Take an imaginary sphere with a 46 metre (150 foot) radius.
Roll it over the arena.
Wherever the sphere could make contact with a player is a place not protected from lightning.
So close in to the stands is safe.
But it is impossible to protect players with stands only when the gap between stands on opposite sides of the ground is greater than 92 metre.
Lightning creates an ionised path (from the cloud) for itself by ionising air in steps.
This is known as a stepped leader.
The final jump between the stepped leader and the ground is less than 46m.
The big lightning current then technically flows from ground to cloud.
But in practice it is the electron flow that comes from the cloud to ground.
{Before electricity was fully understood the direction of electrical current was based on the assumption of positive charge movement.
Electrons were later deemed to be negatively charged but found to be the main flow of electricity.
Hence electrical current normally flows in the opposite direction to electon flow.}
