Brisbane Lions V Western Bulldogs R19, Friday 18/7/25 at the Gabba at 7:40pm

[Critter]

It’s 16:20 and I’ve just arrived in Brisbane. Weather is fine - cloudy, 20°, no wind and no rain. Rain has been and gone. A great night for football.

Fingers crossed it's an enjoyable night Critter!
I visited Brisbane last month for the first time and loved it.

I wonder if that bloke who gave Baz the fingers at the 2021 prelim will be there tonight. Iconic moment.

I started off pessimistic but after reading all the optimism i begun walk with a bit of a strut again. Better post before those demons return.

According to "First Crack" there are three things we need to do well. Keep Zorko under control, stop their run off half back and close off their run through the middle.

Technically only two considering Zorko is a HB!!

Dry when I left work at 4pm but very overcast and looking the radar, it may pelt down before the game and then clear up. 5pm I've got thunder overhead.

The Lions are so methodical out of defence, we will have to be really on our game with midfield and hb pressure.

I've got no confidence against teams with good midfields so can see the Lions winning this one comfortably.

I think the rain is centred around Gold Coast. I drove through there on the way here , and it was raining heavily. No rain here, but I’ll keep an eye out as BOM map shows some activity on the way.

Currently bucketing down out west with heavy rain and thunder

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

A decent storm coming through, lots of thunder and lightning around too.

[mighty_west]

Big time thunder and lightening, it had been dry most of the day too, not now!! It's rare to have a storm in winter up here.

[Hotdog60]

17 mils in that short time and now the sounds of silence

[azabob]

John Ralph reporting teams have been told not to enter the venue yet due to the weather

[Critter]

It’s now bucketing down. Who knows where this is going. Weather map says it might be over for the night soon

Hope the game is as interesting as the weather...

Maybe woof predictions should include how many mm are likely??
