For all this talk of inclement weather, West Coast have gone pretty tall, too.
Ok, let me explain the Perth weather .
It's been storms and rain for the last 4 days BUT in that 100 hr period it's probably rained for 5 hrs and that includes slight and heavy showers.
Subi oval drains like no other ground.
So effectively it's a 90% chance of no rain and if it does it will piss down for 5 minutes and then stop and the ground will dry.
That's typical Perth winter weather. I played 10 years of footy and I reckon i was rained on less than a dozen times. It doesn't happen.
The big factor is the wind. If its still blustery you need flat hard kicks, but most of all you must run the ball as much as you can. Subi is long and skinny and if you turn it over against the breeze it will sailing back over your head in 10 seconds.
You just brought back some nightmares. The shanked kick out of the backline that helicopters into the breeze, veers violently to the right, misses target by 10 metres both short and wide only to be scooped up by opportunistic forward for a roost with the wind through the big sticks.
An intriguing game tomorrow night. One thing for sure, there is zero love between the teams and even less as far as the supporters are concerned.
We've been a rabble of late but a win against the odds tomorrow could work wonders for the run home.
Tipping a drawn game.
