Except an avalanche of rain coming could flood the ground remember back in the good old days of the mcg ground having some dirt and mud
I love to see dirt and mud
Too much nice green grass these days
Love a bog hole

Cox sit down so it's Gawn?!

Yep, send the runner out and tell him to stoop around the field if things get hairy!

There is no cut off to restarting the game. Footy boss Laura Kane would make the call ~ Jon Ralph @FOXFOOTY.
Please; just to illustrate what a bugeyed utter f@kctard Mclaughlin is for scheduling a thursday night final.

If there's a way to ruin the games/fixtures, he'll find it.

Defs Piedys - absolutely he has NFI

This is now a very, very unpredictable game...
Of course Magpies by at least 1 point.

Fly has already delivered a cheeky parting shot to the Demons.

When he left his press conference on Tuesday, told reporters: “See you in a couple of weeks”,
implying his side would enjoy a week off with a win.

This game just shouldn’t be on a Thursday night. I can’t watch it live and I’m Farking fuming about it. Will get home around 945 so will be absolute radio silence. Phone being turned off.

Which one are you thinking of bringing in...one, John Noble perchance?

The best players tonight will be those good at playing footy AND be good swimmers.

He does the crouch when he's standing the mark for oppo set shots...

But we don't wanna see Gawn taking set shots, do we?

A lot of fans will be furious at the scheduling due to having to go to work in the morning.
Seriously we have this thing called a weekend which games can be scheduled for and with it being finals it's a no biggie.
But noooo, noooo we must bend over for the media agenda and line their pockets.

If that hits the ground during play, they'll have to stop. (Not safe to play on.)

Happened in a Melbourne game couple of years ago. And also when light towers blew vs. Brissy this year. (So maybe they'd have the advantage? Experienced it before!)

Seriously, if they're off for a lightning break, Wrighty better be switched on.

Brissy got screwed over by the AFL in that game. They were kept in the rooms, while the AFL allowed Melbourne to warm up on the field.

Then Melbourne piled on goals in the last 10 minutes.

Postpone game kick off 8pm is the whispers going around the cheer squad is here but don’t be surprised if it’s a 8pm kick off lightning and alike

And yet somehow remains the tallest person on the ground.

Yep the AFL have their agendas and are quite prepared to use any excuse to enforce them on the competition.

^ Lucky for the AFL, Brissy still won... Cost a heap of percentage, but.
