    Wet weather football won't hurt. Even if we don't win, we're less likely to get 20 goals kicked against us. It's hard to lose by 100 points if the opposition don't kick 20 goals.

      15.10 could be enough

        Well we've been getting final scores equvilent to playing in wet weather so hopefully this won't have a bad effect on our score when we actually do play in the wet!

            I remember the game at Subiaco last season when the Eagles played the Dogs and it rained and we won


            Anyways you ruck department looks fairly weak without Ball and most probably without Jolly it loks as though Goodes wil have to ruck for ther Majority of the match.

            Unchanged line-up for the eagles.... Geeze i can hardly remember the last time the eagles went into a match without an unchanged line-up

              Imagine if it rains how damaging all that handball in the backline will prove to be.

                I feel the lightning may have put the Eagles off last year.
                But then again I went to the first final the WCE had in Perth. It was against Hawthorn. It rained and they lost!

                    A home win against a side in contention for the wooden spoon is hardly something to brag about, even if it was in the wet. Besides, in the previous season (2003), the Eagles could manage no more than a draw against the Dogs at home and that year the Dogs did win the spoon.

                    Anyways you ruck department looks fairly weak without Ball and most probably without Jolly it loks as though Goodes wil have to ruck for ther Majority of the match.

                    We know how suddenly depleted our ruck department has become. Maybe we'll play Goodes in he ruck again, now that the centre bounce rules have been changed so that players are less likely to injure their knees like Goodes did at Subiaco last year. Goodes won a Brownlow in 2003 and a Rising Star in 1999 playing in the ruck.

                    Ah, hubris. It's so amusing to watch. A few injuries to key players can bring a season undone very quickly, as we are finding now.

                    I expect the Eagles to win. I have been considering this game as a likely loss since before the season started. However, if it rains, the Eagles are more vulnerable.

                      What you dont seem to realise is that we here at RWO dont need anyone from the outside trying to stir us by saying the swans will lose this week. We already acknowledge that.

                            Yeah, we're quite capable of ridiculing our team and each other without the help of opposition supporters.

                              rain is forecast tomorrow, that's the latest word, so even if it lightens the ground should still be damp, temperature expected to be 24.

                                It is snowing here at the moment so rain would be a luxury.
