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

Adele - music to slit your wrists to.

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

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
