Officials in Melbourne evidently left the roof open at whatever that stadiums name is and there has now been a huge storm. Word drifiting in is that the St Kilda & Fremantle is probably going to be called off, surely this will be a first

well a collapse of sorts.

The whole thing didn't cave in if that is what you are thinking, just the Water proofing properties of the roof collapsed allowing a torrent of water to flood the medallion club and the playing surface.

Cats v Lions cancelled on the weekend. Looking at what happened to Hawthorn and Melbourne I reckon a cancelled game isn't the worst thing that could happen during the pre-season.

It is, but it's not a hurricane sport. :shock:
Golf-ball size hailstones coming in sideways for 15 minutes wouldn't make a good
spectacle.
