What an odd way to end the year

 

[badgrill]

It'd be hilarious if they had to delay the opening bounce because of a thunderstorm.

or call it off due to bad light...

Possible thuderstorm forecast to start the game

My localised forecast has a stack of rain 10pm through to 7am and then only light rain if any until 7:30pm when it will begin to get heavy again.

 

[Bedi]

I’ve got something on tomorrow arv going into the evening, was probably only going to be able to watch half the game at best. Now I can watch the whole thing, WOOHOO!

I'm in the exact same boat

7:30 the next day that is. It looks pretty good whether we start at 4:35 or 12:30.

I literally booked today an anniversary lunch for 1.30pm in the country. I would need to upset my wife and forfeit my deposit. Tough call.

 

[Changa10]

Hmmm, interesting photo they used on AFL site. Suns out, cloudy, and lights are ON!!

 

[TONYC3163]

Wouldn't call that 'official'.

Zip from the club or league just yet.

Agreed, but Cleary not posting that on a whim.
I’m getting organised for a 12:30 start.

 

[I got the outside word]

Great. Kids bball. Will miss it all.

It’s never too late to consider adoption.

Probably.

North Melbourne's entire supporter base:

So like what happens if the match is delayed due to thunderstorms and can't be played on the Saturday?

 

[Ka Norkers]

it is official, 12.30pm start.

With potential expenditure on finals tickets - I would be getting as many credits in the bank with the lady of the house as possible!

Yep, there it is, finally.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Got a message through the official club app that the game time has been changed. So it's now official.

Ah bugger, a deposit makes it tough.

 

[chrismew2]

Im a Tasmanian,and how embarrassing is this! We want our own side but cant guarantee we can light up a football field. Got a group of lads flying in that will miss the first half.

Just ask them to set up a tv for you in the corner while you two dine, the customers always right .

Change it to dinner and have a double celebration

 

[Atch]

Just cause everyones saying what they will be up to during the game, I will be doing my dishy job at my local, lunch and dinner split shift. If I really smash it out, i can be out of there by 2:45-3:00, hopefully catch most of the second half, hopefully it's a win, then get back for the dinner shift at 5.

 

[The hands of stone]

or call it off due to bad light...

My uneducated thought would be the AFL must be pretty comfortable with the weather being OK to change to 12.30.

Would be an odd ( but such AFL ) move to reschedule without lights an option to worse weather .
