Yes but only because my brother is a Geelong supporter. Play is going to resume 6:11pm.
There was the final back in 2004, that I think of as the shake down the thunder final. We gave West Coast a bit of a thrashing, but IIRC, the game was delayed by about twenty minutes, due to a severe storm over Homebush.
I never thought I’d see the day I’d say this, but the Hawks got a very rum deal from the umpires in that match. There were at least three legitimate high tackles on Ginnivan.

Happened several years ago in an early round match Swans v GWS at their Homebush ground. Play was suspended for maybe 30 minutes due to lightning . I think lightning actually hit the stadium roof once. Certainly the clap of thunder was scary. I was under cover but that wasn’t very reassuring …
And we were thumped which didn’t improve the experience.

That was a memorable game, R1 2014. Buddy's debut for the Swans (just the 1.1) and the first derby win for GWS, who seemed to regroup better after the weather break.
One of the lighting towers took a direct lightning strike and I believe something fell from it - it was pretty impressive!
Somewhere in the footage I appear, several rows back, grinning as Heath Grundy takes a great one-hander. I always remember the bloke in front of me who sat stoically through the whole thing, so drenched he looked like he'd jumped in a pool.
