If you get a game on tonight then what a great effort! My 5 year old is keenly looking forward to his first visit to the MCG.

If there is rain and the game is cancelled as a result are we able to get a refund? Looking outside at the moment and based on the forecast I find it hard to believe there will be a game. Hopefully there will be and if there is, the seats won't be too wet...
