Game Day 2020 AFL Grand Final Discussion - Richmond vs Geelong @ GABBA (24/10/20)

[Byrons Firen]

This game does not exist.

I'll see everyone next year at the intra-club match.

Yep....... oh btw

who won?

Hoping a free kick is paid against a Richmond defender for a deliberate out of bounds in the dying seconds, and the Geelong player kicks the winner. Then Richmond fans can feel like we did last Friday night.

Yeah this is pretty much the only takeaway I can imagine would be a positive - the game is won from the kind of umpiring howler we cop every week, and the losing fanbase spends all summer maintaining the rage.

Have any West Australian's pointed out that Perth is the only capital with good weather today?

30 and sunny, would be a beautiful balmy 23 or so by 4:30 for a twilight GF at Optus ...

My Mum lived in Proserpine in Queensland before she was married - one night they had 24 inches of rain (about 600mm). Hopefully a storm like that hits the Gabba around 6pm.

How low are the odds of the game getting cancelled by continuous thunderstorms??? The current conditions are bad enough.

 

[PowerBaz]

'Sorry Adelaide and Perth'...... but but......

That's it. From now on I am using the term #eastcoastbias

 

[Capital Power]

Couldn't happen to a more deserving organisation

 

[WillemDaDrew]

Currently pissing down up here on the GC

 

[Shane_Mag]

Hope the weather is awful still at bounce time.

 

[Grave Danger]

Hope the weather is awful still at bounce throw the ball up time.

efa

 

[Enviable Tradition]

You know they will just use this as another excuse to keep the GF at the G forever right?

They don't actually want it to go well at the GABBA.

Unbelievable really. We haven't had a drop here on the Sunny coast for over 3 weeks .
These storms are always a risk up here.

 

[DaTBird187]

Wow, Karma is a thing.

I hope it's a nil all draw.

 

[philreich]

Wow, Karma is a thing.

I hope it's a nil all draw.

So they'd keep playing in the rain until someone scores.

My thoughts on the matter:

 

[PowerBaz]

I guess the new 'MCG Turf will be getting watered in'

Unbelievable really. We haven't had a drop here on the Sunny coast for over 3 weeks .
These storms are always a risk up here.

Should of been played in Perth or Adelaide - in conditions similar to Melbourne at this time of year.

Stupid decision.

They were never going to give us a look in even if we had a hub here.

and like you said - forewarned.....
