The MCG Centre Square

Chook
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Did anyone else think the centre of the MCG was unusually muddy and devoid of grass today. I counted a number of times when players from both sides fell over (including a crucial stumble from Sam Blease in the 2nd quarter), and I'm just wondering if anyone agrees.

What's the deal, dudes?

    Yeah, but the 'G usually holds up better than that.

    Sometime in the next month they will re-lay the middle strip completely. Happens every year.

    Makes sense.

    Got there nice and early to discover a groundsman spreading a wheelbarrow full of dyed green turf, sand or sawdust around the centre circle.

    Had the tractor (or other such machine) driving round spreading soil (or other such small matter) on the square about 5 minutes after the game. (I'm not a farmer)

    I've seen that a few times, spreading top dressing I think, around the whole surface usually.

      The Demons hit the road for their last practice hit out before the start of the 2026 AFL Premiership season when they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
