Rain has started

[Ryan Bomford]

With rain now apparent, I wonder if we'll see some late team changes, especially the substitution of Saints smalls for injury-suspect talls?

Hamstrings - how many of ours have had or still have dodgey hammy's?

I wonder what the chances of the Swans playing four wet games in a row in September, and the Swans taking the flag? If it happens more than one drought will be broken. I can imagine it now, Stuie standing in the pouring rain hoisting the premiership cup beribboned in red and white, followed by the victory lap in a drenching downpour and nobody in red and white minding a bit.

I dream of course, but sometimes I dream in colour.

Look at the radar now. The players may need snorkels

I agree some posts elsewhere that wet weather may level the playing field a bit too much.

Oh well, our boys will play their guts out whatever the conditions and work as a team.

It never rains indoors at Telstra Dome so that at least is comforting to me.

Why did everyone go berserk on wanting it to rain? We've never been a good wet weather team and there are better teams at clearing stoppages than we are.

We are a **** wet side. It completely stuffs up our rapid handballs out of half back. Consequently we couldnt get it out of the back half for most of the game.

Why in the wet weather do we still chip it around. If anything we should bomb it long when we get a chance. Going via the cape isn't going to win us wet weather matches, nor will it do anything in the long term.
