How good are we in the wet?

[hot potato]

I would keep Morton on - he is a potential match-winner (even if that chance is slim, it is worth the punt keeping him in). Not sure about Parker's fitness - only those at the club would really know.

But if the game is wet (really wet) I don't think that the value of all our tall options will help us. It would be a very hard call to make, but perhaps someone like Pyke would need to miss, with LRT playing ruck when Mumford takes a break. Or, LRT plays back and Grundy is out, giving the selectors the option of bringing another ground runner into the team.

I don't think any of these things will happen (and I hope that they all have great games - I will not be hoping anyone that runs out on the ground fails), but I just feel that our team is not fully balanced - particularly in the wet.

It'll be OK, they are watering Caufield racetrack.

But thats just what happens. anything could happen....

Sure "anything" could happen but it is more likely that Ted would re-injure his ankle than Mummy copping a serious injury.
But, hey, if Mummy goes down we use Pike and LRT in the ruck, Parker or ROK play more of a HFF role than midfield and Pike wins a well deserved Norm Smith.

If its a complete wet bog then maybe jetta can be sub, and come on for an impact. Parker is already wearing the vest though i imagine he will have it on for the parade

We are shocking in the wet. If it is wet we are in serious trouble. Looks like only light rain though

Don't agree Reggi we have played pretty well in the wet this year. We haven't lost because of it anyway. Last year I would have said we were a bit sus but not now, we can win in any weather.

Historically - awful
This year - pretty good.

And I heard this morning that the odds on Jude for the NS shorten with every forecast.

Last two years, much much better.

[Bloody Hell]

Wasn't it wet against the dogs when we kicked 9.0 in the first quarter?

How good are we in the wet?

Ahuh there was a soft pitter patter of drizzle that day, demolished then and I tuned out at half time

[Woodie]

but still thunder (which seems odd because Friday is also cooler with rain). But who knows if the bureau even has a clue what it's talking about. Their track record leaves a lot to be desired.

That's because the Swans will shake down the thunder from the skies.

Go Bloods

The forecast for tomorrow seems slightly better now.
