Must keep Subi dry?

[drexel]

Since we will be playing friday night again for PF... is there anyway to keep the surface dry?
Our greatest strength is speed and running power over the ground and the last thing we need is greasy conditions like last friday.
Sydney couldn't have asked for better conditions and we scraped through....dry surface it would have been over at half time.
Hard, fast surface = West Coast domination.

Actually, the greasy conditions didn't seem to affect WCE one ioata.

It took the Swans a long time to adjust to the conditions, bouncing the ball a prime example.

When it rains in Brisbane for major horse races they fly a couple of hellicopters slowly and lowly around the track. Just a thought!

They can probably borrow a super-sopper from down the road at the WACA

Won't both prelims be played on Saturday in order that both winners get the same amount of rest before the GF??

Thats wht I thought.

 

[BarcaRulz]

makes sense, and WCE do play much better on dry terrain.

No, we play Friday night and St Kilda plays on Saturday (probably at night as well) to maximise tv audiences.

It wil be either Adelaid, Port or West Coast in the Grand Final so if they play it on Friday night then one of them will have a lot of travel to do anyway so it works out well.

They were talking about this on the Footy Show last week (well, actually it was aker having a whinge). I think this year both finals will be played on the saturday.

The AFL will only release formal dates, venue and times after the semi's are decided, If Adelaide win given that they finished first it will probably be on Sat, to give them a full 7 day's break, if Port win maybe on Fri pm. We won't know till the weekend

Come on Mead, you know there's no way you're going to be at work that Saturday; I envisage these scenarios:

1) We're playing Saturday night. Mead pulls a sickie.
2) We win on Friday night. Mead is somewhat ill from the celebration post-game
3) We lose on Friday night. Mead is violently sick from the 12 hour bender post-game.

Most likely scenario is Sat afternoon at 2 30 pm. With Saints playing on Sat night.
