Forecast suggests that it won't be much below 30 by the END of the match !!

very little cloud cover as well.

Dal_Santos_Gal · Sat 08 Mar 2008 5:19pm

so its still well into the high 30's and the AFL will not change the rule on how many players can use the interchange per qrt rule.

the afl should be changing the rule, this is highly unfair to both clubs having to play a final in these conditions

we do have a round 1 home and away game in 2 weeks

iwantmeseats · Sat 08 Mar 2008 5:19pm

come on guys, lets get positive. It will be just as uncomfortable for those cretans as well you know.

...and some people want to start the real reason 4 weeks early and scrap the NAB Cup??

johnpeterbudgefanclub · Sat 08 Mar 2008 6:00pm

Good luck guys. Hope good management skills and common sense are applied re: the heat.

Cheers, and good to be back for '08.

i_luv_nick_riewoldt · Sat 08 Mar 2008 6:19pm

well rossy and the boys seem positive from what ive heard!

they train in the summer heat, so they are acclimatised, they just need to monitor each player more closely and keep up the fluids.

I was disappointed that TimeToShineFellas's banner saying wasn't on the banner tonight. :S

Go Saints!

Iceman234 · Post: # 528533Post **Iceman234** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 6:48pm

Looks like another crap crowd at AAMI.

Go you Sainters.

banner

commentators say about the same as last week- but claiming more sold.

brown-coat · Post: # 528537Post **brown-coat** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 6:53pm

Adelaide will kick at least the first 6 goals.

Accurate future prediction.

Darren · Post: # 528538Post **Darren** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 6:55pm

C. Gardiner marks from Riewoldt, misses from tight angle

Iceman234 · Post: # 528539Post **Iceman234** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 6:56pm

Which commentator made the first two calls of "Port" with the ball.

And that's a disgrace that crowd - TD would have brought 40,000.

Nice one Dimwit

brown-coat · Post: # 528540Post **brown-coat** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 6:57pm

I can hear at most 7 people in the crowd.
