43c Saturday @ Ctown

[Tragic Eagle]

To even consider paying football in 40 plus degree temperatures is lunacy. The players will be exposed to significant risk for a nothing trial game against a South Sydney reserve grade side! What are they thinking? If at all!

you are pretty much putting ice straight into your body,” Sea Eagles head of physical performance Dan Ferris said.

Hope ASADA don't get wind of this 😀

Entertainment Centre?

Jealous.

Considered going this weekend but without Izzy it's not really legit.

Izzy in full affect.

That's not Izzy. That's Richard Fortus.

Izzy quit early 90's and is a recluse basically.

Every time Dan Ferris speaks I get angry and want to break things.

 

[Disco]

Relax, they wont be running them into the ground, unlimited interchange and short bursts

You realise they have been training all summer

 

[Mango]

Negligence....

The game will be postponed.

Hmmm I wasn't aware the groin area was prone to overheating during a game of footy, but there you go.

Lol...I guess it depends which team you bat for?!

Seriously though, it's because the femoral artery runs through there - the idea is to lower the temp of your blood as it circulates. Cool towels/ice packs on the neck area is the same idea - cool the blood down as it passes through the carotid artery.

Izzy Stradln - maybe he can make the pressure drop, would be good on a 43 degree day.

Ok ok im not a fan of gnr, the person i went with had to tell me who was who. That being said he was damn good on guitar and i thought he was probably the best performer on the night musically speaking.

Damn, here's me opening this thread thinking it will only cost 43 cents to get in. I thought they weer doing a retro round or something.
There's a minute I won't get back!

Dont know about 43 c here,it's looking more like 43 cm . Hows your forecast looking GE ?

sorry mate I was out n about yesterday. At times it was MINUS 25 degrees!

fook that, that is too cold!

trying to get back home now but had freezing rain all last night so it's an ice rink out there.....and about 60cm of powder at the mountain so it's full of tourists all driving up there in their summer fricking tyres!

danger danger will robinson.

though I had Chinese food last night so all is well. 🙂

Mate .15 years here in the mtns and coldest year yet.Of course the only year I dont go back for 5 weeks & it's a long cold one.
Ive been walking to work in minus 20+ for most of this winter.

Thing is you only really want one ball to be abused by the end of the game.

Pretty certain it will be below 40 by the time they start at 7:30 so all good

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I thought they were going to have lower grades playing earlier?

 

[Ryan]

Anyone keen to go as a group? I'd be keen.

Only just....forecast temp at 6pm is 42 and 9pm 32.

As @Tragic-Eagles said, absolute lunacy 😡 Why have a trial game at Campbelltown in the middle of summer and subject the players to that sort of heat for no good reason There better not be any repercussions.

I also pity the players playing earlier in the lower grade games in 40+ degrees heat 😱
