Melbourne is making up for a dry autumn with rain bucketing down in the last few hours of the season.
Severe weather warnings were issued for much of the state as a result of the heavy rain last night.
The city's northern suburbs received the biggest drenching with the Airport recording 45 millimetres of rain between nine and eleven o'clock last night.
Melbourne city, Viewbank and Scoresby had all recorded 22 millimetres by eleven o'clock.
Rail operator Metro says pedestrian subway tunnels have been flooded.
The rainfall comes below average rains in Melbourne in autumn.
A newborn has had his first brush with the law in Victoria, after three police officers helped deliver him in the back of a car.
The baby's father ran into the Footscray police station about 7am (AEST) on Saturday and begged the officers to help his wife, who was in labour in the car.
The Kingsville parents-to-be were on the way to hospital but realised they weren't going to make it.
Constables Amber Rawson and Deborah Clymo called triple zero while Sergeant Fiona Curnow, a mother-of-three, made the mum comfortable in the car outside the police station.
Sgt Curnow delivered the baby boy safely in the car before paramedics arrived.
He's the first child for the happy couple.
The new family was taken to the Royal Women's Hospital by ambulance, where mum and baby were said to be doing very well.
The Canaries forward has two years left on his contract but the arrival of Ricky van Wolfswinkel has cast doubt over his future at Carrow Road amid interest from the A-League club
Holt was tracked by the A-League club in January and the side reportedly saw a bid last turned down last month having failed to meet Norwich’s valuation of the player.
The 32-year-old recently hinted at a summer exit following the imminent arrival of Ricky van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon and Heart’s chief executive Scott Munn has confirmed their interest in signing the player.
"We made an approach and we always knew that it would be made public and that with him being contracted for two more years it might be complicated," Munn told Australian broadcaster SBS.
"We haven't closed the door on it as yet and will be pursuing it. He's a proven finisher and showed that by scoring against Manchester City on the last day of the Premier League season."
Holt previously played in Australia with Sorrento during a month’s loan in 2001 while at Halifax Town, before working his way up to the Premier League with Norwich.
Since winning promotion to the top-flight, the Canaries skipper has scored 23 league goals over two seasons, helping the Norfolk outfit to retain their Premier League status.
Stand-in chief executive Peter Jackson will present his recommendations for a complete restructure of the football department.
The overhaul will include the nomination of a clearly-defined football boss - the only football figure who will report directly to the chief executive.
Positions under review include that of football manager Josh Mahoney, director of sports performance Neil Craig, list manager Tim Harrington and player development and strategy manager Todd Viney.
All four reported to sacked chief executive Cameron Schwab - a structure identified by Jackson as a major weakness.
Craig and Neeld will make presentations at Monday's meeting.
Melbourne plays ladder-leader Hawthorn at the MCG on Sunday.
Another heavy defeat could result in Neeld's tenure being terminated.
Newly-appointed board member Geoff Freeman has emerged as a key player in the remaking of the club.
Freeman, 65, an insurance industry heavyweight, joined the board last month after encouragement from president Don McLardy.
Freeman is a neighbour of AFL Commission chairman Mike Fitzpatrick and a close friend of former Geelong president Frank Costa, who helped transform the Cats.
Despite a recent health scare, he could replace McLardy as president before the end of the season.
When quizzed about his future on Thursday, Neeld said he remained confident he had the support of the board.
"It's just a regular meeting where there's robust discussion about a whole heap of issues and progress and all that sort of stuff," Neeld said.
"So I presume it will be the same. I talk to board members on a regular basis."
On the move ... Tom Kingston will link up with the Rebels next season.Source: Cameron Richardson / News Limited
Melbourne Rebels have signed New South Wales Waratahs winger Tom Kingston.
Kingston has agreed to terms with the Rebels, committing for the next two seasons.
Unable to consistently secure a spot in the powerful NSW team this season, Kingston is expected to push for a permanent spot with Melbourne.
"We have been watching Tom's progress for some time, his early season form suggested that he probably could have seen more game time this season," said Melbourne's general manager of rugby Sam Cordingley said.
"He is a quality person and a fantastic athlete who will realise his potential with regular time on the park in a Rebels jersey.
"With the departure of Richard Kingi there was an opportunity to recruit a quality outside back and Tom is certainly that. We are all thrilled to have Tom at the club over the next two years.
"We are very pleased with the depth of the squad and how they have responded in recent weeks. Tom is highly regarded in the Australian rugby community, and having him on board will only further enrich our young club.
"He is also a very balanced athlete, looking to continue his studies here in Melbourne, which the club will fully support as part of our Five Star Engagement program."
Kingston joins Wallaby Luke Burgess and Southern Districts back-rower Lopeti Timani at the cub for next season, along with Tom Sexton, Toby Smith and Max Lahiff who are all Australian-born and will join the Rebels from abroad.
Norwich striker Grant Holt wanted by Melbourne Heart
GRANT HOLT is attracting interest from Melbourne Heart after the CEO of the Australian A-League side confirmed their intention of signing the forward.

Grant Holt is wanted down under by Melbourne Heart
The 32-year-old, who struggled for form last season, was subject of interest from Melbourne Heart in the January transfer window.
Norwich's valuation priced Heart out of a transfer for Holt, who has been at Carrow Road since 2009.
The Canaries' record signing of Ricky van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon suggests that Holt is likely to be a reserve for the Dutchman.
And this has lead to Heart renewing their interest in bringing the forward to Australia.
Scott Munn, Melbourne Heart CEO, said: "We made an approach and we always knew that it would be made public and that with him being contracted for two more years it might be complicated."
"We haven't closed the door on it as yet and will be pursuing it."
