I remember back in the 70's Sth Melbourne played Carlton at the Lakeside Oval and the fog was so thick players couldn't see who they were kicking the ball to.
That happened in 1971 at the Junction Oval. Fitzroy was playing Carlton in beautiful spring weather. At half time sea fog rolled in and visibility was so bad that once the ball was kicked it disappeared!
@@blueycarlton I couldn't remember who was playing it was so long ago, but I remember the picture in the Herald Sun. All you could see was a couple of players running out of the fog and nothing else.
I can't find footage of the centre circle but it was round 11 2017. Maybe you could find some footage? The highlights of the game by AFL didn't show the centre circle But showed some puddles.
@@lijoegoede7176 are u talking about the 2016 game where there were water puddles all around the field. That game was Round 11 2016 Gold coast vs sydney
@@lijoegoede7176 I think you just got the years mixed up dude. I know because I’ve always kept that game saved in my bookmarks for whenever I want to watch it.
My dad played in such bad fog and he broke his leg and he was stuck on the oval for 5 hours coz they forgot about him and couldn't see him so he was just yelling in pain I feel bad
i've played in a couple fog games where you couldn't see 10 meters in front of ya and not just that it were blurry i mean you literally couldn't see past that. that said it's very fun to play in and it wouldn't surprise me if they couldn't fine ya old man
Round 10, 1999 Brisbane went down to the Western Bulldogs by 22 at the Gabba. They were playing in essentially a lake. I’d do anything to get this game on some sort of hard copy or digital reproduction.
Not football but sports related. I played netball for about 5 years, one memorable game was when it was 8 degrees on the court with 2 degree pelting rain, and because there was no thunder we had to play for the whole hour. By the end of it my hands were shaking so hard I couldn't undo the laces of my shoes.
As a geelong supporter I'm used to going to the football in the freezer temp and the rain. And I always laugh as often when it's bucketing down you can't actually see it in the broadcast. So some of these look absolutely insane knowing that The one where the ground was actully a lake due to flooding. What happened to that game? Was it cleared somehow or was it cancelled. Or they just played on a lake
