Today the game would have been suspended for at least 20 minutes (based on the lightening delay just a few days ago at the MCG for the 2024 Easter Monday game), which is fair enough. The hail was pretty much gone 20 minutes later at VFL Park.
Edit: I was wrong, so I might as well change my comment. :-) I misheard Spud. I thought he said it was 3 or 4 degrees that day at VFL Park, but he said "3 or 4 degrees colder than the city", which is possible.
you are forgetting wind chill factor, the temperature might have been 9.8 C. but the wind chill would likely have made the temperature feel a lot colder. So even if it was 10 degrees, the wind chill can make it feel like 3-4 degrees.
@@donkiddick966 Ha ha, oops, you're right. :-) He kinda mumbled "3 or 4 degrees.. even colder than the cbd". Incidentally, I looked up Scoresby's weather for that day (i think that's the closet station to VFL Park), and the maximum that day was 8.4 degrees.
It only took another 16 years for the AFL to see that much Ice flowing through a footy ground again when the rise of Benny Cousins came about
Then snow appeared in Canberra during the match between GWS and Hawthorn in August 2019.
I was working there that day. We had “snow” fights
RIP Danny...

Was there any lightning though? I live in the northern suburbs of Melbourne and that day, i only heard thunder.

I thought he said Waverly was 3-4° cold(er) than the CBD that day, rather than it was only 3-4° that day?
