Hey Guys,
It is pi*sing down with rain here in Adelaide, so I'm thinking it might be wet for Saturday.
I hope we are educated in the subject of wet weather footy. I would have thought Alan Richardson would be a guy who would have relished in these conditions, so, if so, I hope he passes on some good advice.
I'm not sure if these conditions will be a good thing - just because of the build of most of our guys and their inability to get in and under and win the hard footy. I would have thought leg speed would be dimished in such conditions.
Appreciate your thoughts.

Re: Wet Weather Footy
Teams who move the ball fast like us may struggle i would think in heavier conditions. It will be interesting to see how both sides cope if it is slippery on Sat arvo. With so much footy under the roof at the Dome or in nice conditions these days it could turn into a real slog fest. Real footy players will be found under these conditions!!

Saturday's forecast..,Not good!!
SAT Rain Showers. Afternoon Clouds. Cool. 17 km/h
Please, no chippy short game if it is wet. Follow the Hawthorn doctrine and just get it forward any way you can, along the ground if need be.
