It might snow the first ever VFL/AFL match for snow if that happens.

I guess if its going to be cold, wet and windy - then it is pretty handy if Wines gets suspended - as probably their no.1 'contested bull' in the midfield.
Not sure about the AFL, plenty of games at the Western Oval felt like it was close and I remember one game in the late 70's early 80's where it hailed so much it looked like snow.
The NRL on the other hand see below -

It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.
We had a glorious day in Ballarat yesterday. Sunshine all day, about 14 degrees, barely any wind.
Today, it's been miserable, rain all day and unlikely to improve all week. It was always going to happen.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
I've long considered that games played in Hobart, due to the freezing conditions and windswept nature of the ground, are not part of AFL canon, and therefore anything is likely to happen. I fear the same is true of Ballarat.

We need to win and get this bloke to pump in more dollars

It's going to be cooold.
Sort of hope it does snow. It'd be fun to tell people that you were at the only match it ever snowed at. Not so much fun to be at though.
Maybe I should buy a bunch of hand warmers for 1.69 and flog them at 5 bucks apiece at the ground?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
For all woofers going to Ballarat rug up. At the Whitten Oval a few weeks back watching the VFL it was very cold, Ballarat more colder the windchill factor.

I think it's more the elevation that makes Ballarat really cold Easty. Its 450 metres they said on C7 tonight.
Just been over to mum's place to raid it for all the thermals and big, big coats we could carry out of the place. Old person clothes.

Arrived tonight to motel and who should be standing in reception, Roughy. Players may be staying at same place. The receptionist had a bulldogs/Mars scarf on.
