Been mentioned on the news in Perth that upwards of 25% of the turf at DS will need replacing following concerts in successive weeks. While the AFL and ground staff are adamant that it will proceed at Subi, the Eagles are reportedly preparing to relocate the match to Leederville Oval, the home of their reserves club East Perth. 

This is concerning news either way, not sure it would be worth risking some of our best 22 for a dead rubber on a questionable pitch. Thoughts?

    I was about to post the same. Gunners then Adele leaving her imprint has really affected the turf. There was like 20,000 people in chairs on the ground and then the walkways covering the rest of the surface.

    Won't be playable imo.

    Adele concert could cause West Coast Eagles to move from Domain Stadium for pre-season clash

    Isn't Adele playing at Etihad just before round 1 as well?

    Can't they move her to Casey? A low-loader should do it...

    That would require Gil to make a decision - will there be time to do enough opinion polling to guide his decision?

    Yes....but as  the ground is now owned by the AFL they will not risk the playing surface..... wait a minute it's only the Saints v  MFC so who cares... not like it is the EFC or any of the other power clubs

    Could have used her as soundtrack at a few games here over the years

    Apparently her ex boyfriend did her wrong. I think it was the first twenty songs that gave me the biggest hint.

    All she needed for was for a pet dog or cat to be killed and she'd be vying for the top of the country and western charts.

    We can't afford another surface-related injury like Salem in the VFL finals. Doesn't Perth have a better venue for concerts? Imagine being behind the goals and a mile away from the stage there

    Give them the 4 points.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
