Current predictions are for ~52km/h winds ... the maximum cross wind for a plane is ~ 60 km/h (some quick desktop warrior research just told me). That would mean Sydney Airport could be reduced to one runway. That would create serious delays.

Re: Final 1 - who’s going?
OK. Just touched base with my friend who designs airports (works for Melbourne Airport). Air Traffic control rules are max cross wind of 20 knots (37 km/h) for a landing. It's going to be borderline. If Sydney is reduced to one runway (they have two north-south and one east-west) then there will be serious delays according to him e.g. International flights get priority. Therefore could be 1 to 2 hours delay. I have an early flight so should be OK.
Fingers crossed.

We got in yesterday - it's windy alright.
Still to see a single bulldogs scarf...though to be fair, I haven't seen a Giants one either.

That's because the AFL don't hand out the free ones until game day.

Name the spot?
Re: Final 1 - who’s going?
I am on the overnight train to Sydney. 20 minutes in to service and they ran out of alcoholic beverages.
Plenty of dog supporters in the train btw.
