Wet Weather Tip for those sitting in the rain tomorrow!

Post: # 832658Post St Fidelius »

Buy yourself a plastic drop sheet to cover your legs.....

I just bought one from Bunnings for $1.50


Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!

Don't get wet

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

You need a plastic poncho if you are going to sit in the rain for hours.
Also waterproof footwear - but not allowed in the MCC Reserve!

I have a plastic St Kilda raincoat, but the plastic drop sheet is for the legs

A champion is not defined by a number of wins, but by the courage shown to get up when your down

Poncho's are great but I woulld also buy large garbage bags the stronger one's just step into them and pull up they keep everything dry.
Learnt that from many years at Waverly.
Also peak cap under rain coat keeps rain off face.

Most bunnings should have them (if they are in stock) each store gets like a million at the start of winter.

Big W used to have ponchos

agree on the garbage bags

and if all else fails- THE mcg will be selling the up market version- Price wise anyway- they don't last any longer .

Yes, good advice St.Fid!

Will definitely come prepared like I did 5 years ago for that semi final against the swans.

Nope, you will be fine if you are in DD. Don't know how you will go getting into and out of the ground though! :lol:

As well as a poncho and a drop sheet, large dishwashing gloves worn over woolen/polar fleece gloves will keep them dry and warm!!!

I wore one of those 20 cent Saints poncos to the parade today.
Worked a treat. :D
