The five-day weather forecast for Brisbane suggests that there could be a storm on game day. What happens if there is a storm at the AFL grand final? Will the game be delayed?

There's little to no precedent to stop an AFL game because it is raining — or for too many other reasons to be honest — although matches have been rescheduled or postponed before kicking off.wet weather meant Essendon's plane could not landThen, in 2016, Brisbane's pre-season match against the Saints was also cancelled whenmaking the surface too dangerous.A sopping wet grand final won't do much for the spectacle, but it won't stop the game from being played.

Although, if the 2016 match between the Suns and Swans at a saturated Carrara stadium is anything to go by, it might still be quite entertaining.There have been some fairly odd reasons for matches to be delayed in AFL/VFL history., although that merely precipitated a 30-minute delay in the match between Richmond and Carlton.
