I would not try it. If Emirates is late its all your problem if you miss for the connecting flight. Emirates will not offer you any protection.

Seat 2A in his trip report on last paragraph in post 5 had a 2.5hr late arrvival on BA (LHR-SYD) He had paid $9-00 insurance with DJ on his SYD-LAU flight. They accomadated him on a later flight, thanks to the insurance
We landed in Bangkok at 6:20pm local time, with departure to Sydney re-scheduled for 8:00pm. The new departure time, two and a half hours later than our originally scheduled 5:30pm departure, meant that I would very likely miss my connecting flight between Sydney and Launceston. I wasn’t overly concerned. There are plenty of connections available via Melbourne and besides, I’d purchased the $9.00 insurance option in anticipation of just such an event.
