Flooding from ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred disrupts Brisbane

Heavy rainfall from ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred continues to affect South East Queensland and northern New South Wales, causing flooding. Brisbane is experiencing significant disruptions due to the weather. The Brisbane Lions will travel to Sydney earlier than planned for their AFL season launch. Their opening match against Geelong was postponed due to the cyclone's impact. The team aims to train in better conditions in Sydney before their game against the Swans. They will conduct indoor training while local fields remain waterlogged.
