Caught a few minutes prior to the lightning break. It was absolutely hurling it down. All skills out the door. Players trying to hit targets and missing by 15 meters and hitting the fence instead.Didn't watch the game, but looked at the scores every now and again. Last quarter: WCE: 1 goal, Melb: 2 behinds. Assume there must have been lots of Dusty moments to make up for the woeful scoring because otherwise I would be worried about the state of our game after SHocking's wonderful rule changes

Enough people throughout the world have been struck by lightning on football fields. That's why the rule
The umpire didn't make it up on his own. The AFL officials came out on the ground and told them to suspend the game.That flog's going to be questioned about this. Wouldn't be surprised Goodwin would in the presser.
OK, but there was barely any around. What about the crowd?The umpire didn't make it up on his own. The AFL officials came out on the ground and told them to suspend the game.
Pavlich reckons he saw lightning *shrug*how many is enough?
and they were probably struck by actual lightning
as opposed to potential lightning.
More chance someone in the crowd would get bolted given their sitting/standing near metal. Optus Stadium been new should have some lightning rod to attract.Pavlich reckons he saw lightning *shrug*
Suffice to to say if a player was struck by lightning people would be complaining that they didn't have the rule in place. I don't want to be known as the lightning rule defender guy so I'll just leave it there for tonight
They are the worst. They boo if they don't get every free kick.West coast crowd booing. Can’t work out who?
The umps? They won the free kick count 28-16
Their players?
The lightning? It assisted them, they were going down by 8 goals otherwise.
what a brainless crowd they are.

Another minute or so WC may have gotten up.Dees really sphinctered up after the lightning break. Looked very very nervy.
