You think I'm joking don't you???
Nup, I'm being deadly serious....follow this logic for a minute.....
This Saturday in Adelaide it's forecast at the moment to be 36 degrees - expect it to be in the low 30's come game time.
Standard bench size in the Nab cup is already huge (8 players I think!), so why not double it to 16, and then nearly our whole list gets a game!
Given all the bullshyte rules, why not have a 16 man bench for the final, given the hot weather eh???
Makes as much sense as trying to nail Paul Roos whilst letting Carlton tank last year!
Hot night in Adelaide - how about a 16 man bench???

Lol, didn't you say it was 22 in Melbourne yesterday? while it was 37 here in Adelaide, plus all week we have tasted temperature over 35, and you have had it easy.LennyBoy wrote:38 Saturday and 39 on Sunday. Even more case for the extended bench now. Could heat be a factor?
Here comes hot weather for Melbourne, next 7 days in Adelaide 35+
Btw everyone Kip said he is shouting everyone drinks apart from Dooley because he is underage.
And hack pup is out again, bowled without troubling the scorers.
