Inclement weather has delayed the start of the AFL game between GWS and St Kilda at Engie Stadium in western Sydney.
The match was due to start at 415pm (AEDT).
Lightning flashed in the vicinity in the leadup to the scheduled start, forcing a 30-minute delay. Further lightning strikes during that initial delay have pushed the start time further back.Â
The person in control of the music within the stadium showed a sense of humour by putting on the AC/DC standard Thunderstruck.
