Stadium under water

[Rocket]

40mm of water, ground flooded. Game in serious doubt!!!

[sainterinsydney]

If one of our players gets badly injured, I will be pissed!!!!!!!! Why are we playing in Geelong! THIS STINKS!!!

[LTN16]

Just said on news that game will go ahead.

Will be a bit wet underfoot!

[GRAMophone]

Apparently going ahead according to ch 7 news.

[sainterinsydney]

You wait months to see the team, and then you get this crap! Why weren't we allowed to play at Etihad!

[dragit]

If only we could find a stadium with a roof.

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Eminem is at Ethiad!

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Going to be dangerous injury wise,not good!

[Sainternist]

Hope the team brought their scuba gear.

But yeah, it is ridiculous that this game is in bloody Geelong. Inconveniences supporters of both clubs. Which clown came up with that idea?

I blame Eminem... No, actually I blame the idiots who are fans of his (c)rap music.

[jonesy]

Our preseason games, either severe flood events,or 40 degree days

All apart of the 'linton street curse' I guess

[Beekay]

We're not the only team that has had to play outdoors, but shiiiiit... it seems like a bad result either way (likely injuries or no hit-out)

From what I saw on the news it could be wet overhead.

Not unless the team remembers to bring their umbrella hats. Apparently Footscray will be wearing them.

[LTN16]

Game delayed 40 mins..

[White Winmar]

Again it begs the question as to why we have to play in this shithole, soon to be ghost town.

[Dave McNamara]

How long is the rain expected to last?

Very important to win the toss tonight, and kick with the tide.

[saintbrat]

Only 30 min delay
Ground has drained remarkably
Saints are versatile it isn't Wangaratta

[plugger66]

No idea why people think you get injured more in the wet. is there any proof? I thought people said we got hammies and knee injuries because Etihad is to hard.

It's about to start pissing down in Melbourne, according to the radar, so if we were playing outdoors here it wouldn't be much better.

About to? If we played at the home ground of both competing teams we could simply close the roof. Problem solved. But it's fun being contrary, just for the sake of it, isn't it?

We have even had a game indoors start 2 hours late because of the weather. Still dont see why it matters. Doubt many would have gone to any game tonight with the way the weather is especially when its on TV.

Wouldnt it be a bit grounded with a stage on the ground?

[White Winmar]

Not if it was unavailable because the AFL got in first.

Im sure they would have needed to book it a year ago. Not sure practice matches have much weight over making heaps of money.

[borderbarry]

Is anybody going to report the game for us?
