How soft are they getting in Melbourne. First Mark Harvey has a cry about the conditions at Subi, then we get this from the afl.


"....the league has ruled that only exceptional circumstances – such as rain or extreme sunshine – will force the roof to be shut this weekend"

Obviously I've been living in tropical conditions too long because I though sunshine was ideal for playing footy.

I don't even see how you ca n have extreme sunshine. What next they close it because of too colurful rainbows, too pretty flowers, too fluttery butterflies.

Your point made very well but if you have ever lived in Melbourne you would know*****ty the weather is. Having said that, I can't believe you can spend 100 million dollars on an arena and then say oh sorry we can't open the roof becuase its to sunny!? Bizarre.

Im waiting for the game to played at the Crown Casino then the West End then Broadway. Its vision of men who don't like wheather and are creating a game for people to clink wine glasses together and say ''That was a jolly good kick through the goals dear''.Replacing grass after each performance which is all ready happening. Guys like Brown will be subject to contract clauses such as ''I will be a show pony and I shall not bleed or create blood on my fellow performers which might stain this weeks turf.

Mac, will these pompus poofs you speak of wear hats like Gai Waterhouse on race day?

No. They wear always wear suits, geled hair, live in the dark damp place called Melbourne and have names like EdDie, Andy and Wayne.
Had no friends as a children, so they got in control so we have to play with them .
Their Rules!
