I dont know about you but my team selections have been based on fine weather history. Drought, El Nino, whatever its called but definately fine weather footy for most of last 2 years. Will be a roller coaster year if rain affects skills and abilities iin games like today >:( and yes I am looking squarely at Buddy skidding shots at goal along the ground as an obvious example  >:( >:( >:( vent vent vent. Any suggestions for wet weather specialists? Jimmy Bartel obviously.

Bartel and Selwood are generally very good in the wet.

??? During the last two years we have actually been in a La Nina cycle, although it has affected NSW/QLD more than the other states. I did hear the other day that La Nina has moved off the coast now.

Here's a couple of links to check out before making any "wet weather" trades...

Hahah nice info!

I am super keen on bringing in ROK (Ryan O'Keefe) in a few weeks after his sub affected 16 on the weekend should see his price plummet!! ;D

I was licking my lips when it was wet knowing I had Selwood... he did okay.
