Sydney. Gold Coast. Get ready for some wet weather footy.
Just hours before the bounce of the ball between the Suns and the Swans, Metricon Stadium is absolutely drenched.
The Gold Coast has been battered by over 100mm of rain since 9am and it is showing no signs of abating.
Suns Assistant Coach Dean Solomon tweeted out the following during the curtain raiser:

The Round 11 match is due to commence at 7.25pm. Hope the boys bring their screw-ins, not that it will really help.
