If we stick to the game-plan of just kicking a bajillion goals, I reckon we've got a more than good chance of going deeper into finals!

MAX means the maximum temperature across the whole day. It'll be around 13-16 at night

Rain takes away some of the bulldogs marking power, increasing the hawks ground level power level

 

[TylerDurden]

I'm doing a rain dance as we speak.

Nash would want to be on his best behaviour as the Bont was probably BOG last time we played them (equal best in Coaches votes with Impey), playing a lone hand. He had 26 touches, 5 tackles, 7 clearances and 2 goals.

Dogs got 3 goals up in the first 3 minutes when Nash was on the bench. Nash has to start on the field this time

Humidity?

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Let Dale worry about the Mosquito squad. Using Finn to tag him would nullify our greatest strength.

Humidity?

around 80%.

I'm more worried about the forest fuel dryness factor tbh - 6.6!!!!!

 

[Hawked Wings]

It was deadset forecasted 21 this morning, they have no idea. Best to look morning of

Who replaces Day in the midfield, in the North game Moore spent more time in there but could we play MacDonald and leave Moore forward and pushing into the middle like he normally does.

 

[hawkinoz]

Looking like wet weather on Friday, I'd lean more to Ward over Finn & CJ, could use his cleaner disposals in the wet.

Edit: On second thought, Finn probably is the bigger body, because marking will be tough - maybe just getting it forward and letting the smalls do their work could be a good thing.

A Country Vic farmer once told me that he relies more on Yr.no than BOM, their forecasts is below

I must be the only one hoping for no rain. I think out run and skills will be too slick for them, however if it rains I think we will beat them as well!

Oops, set to Launceston from last match, carry on.

Mackenzie gets more time so will become part of the main 4 rotations and the other 3 get more time in there. We don't really go away from the main 4 and Moore goes in for about 5 a game

Or set the location correctly

 

[Roddy]

Now my weather app says 24, cloudy but no sign of rain.

But hey, this melbourne, where the first day of spring brings literal rain, hail, shine, freeze and extreme winds…

 

[Baz_hawk]

Feel like I've walked into a retirement home with the amount of weather talk happening

 

[MistyAvalon]

if a Melb team can't manage the rain....

They play there home games under a roof

 

[Bugs1977]

Treloar in real doubt apparently.

I hope he plays and goes in lame just like Curnow did in round 22. We all know how that turned out. If it's dry game we'll be playing as fast as we can and by chasing our young speedsters that calf could go at anytime. Then if it's a wet game that will suit us to as we've done well in the wet this season with our fleet of small forwards and the rain will be a huge disadvantage for their tall forward line.

It could very well have an effect on the result, one way or the other...

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Of course I am sitting in the open. Will be loading up on plastic bag ponchos

 

[Howe Amazing]

Keays tagged Dale and Crows beat them comfortably

So approx. 4.2mm rain for 12hrs, probably means it will be not extreme wet
