I wasnt having a dig at Melbourne's winter weather. There is no doubting at all that it is colder and wetter in Melbourne in winter than Sydney and most Sydney born people (and many of us who have moved here to live) hate cold winter weather. I'm hoping that Hayes may feel that way.

At the moment it's looking less like a dynasty and more like Dynasty. Being St KIlda, I have this feeling the whole thing will start to unravel at the end of the season. Hopefully we can get pull a few threads this weekend.Originally posted by sharpie
The saints are gonna have a team full of award-wage workers just so they can stick together, despite never winning a premiership.

Unfortunately, I think his preference for living in a football city and possible dislike of the Swans due to overlooking him may offset any impact of the Melbourne winter.Originally posted by cruiser

I think you've hit the nail on the head, many players see Melbourne as the football mecca. I don't think weather is a big factor unless you compare say Qld, with Melbourne. I've spent some time up in Sydney during the winter and often there is not a huge difference between the two but when we're talking Brisbane, Noosa, or Surfer's Paradise, there is.Originally posted by NMWBloods

I'm note sure whether "low threshold to inclement weather" should ever be a leading criteria in our recruitment effortsOriginally posted by Snowy

We just have to convince him not to sign until the end of the year. Then when the Saints miss out on the 8, and we have a solid finals campaign, he may just reconsider

It's superb late Autumn football weather. Cold and crisp. It's the way football is meant to be.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

At least you only have to bring woollies and not wet weather gear. Makes for a slightly more pleasant experience than last time we played the Saints.Originally posted by ScottH

I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.
