Any tips for those of us going on the weekend? I assume there was a lot of queuing involved.

We were scheduled for the 10am morning slot. We got to the G about 9:35 and walked to gate 3.

There were about 10 or 15 people already lined up QR coding and showing their vax status. 

They were already letting people in one group at a time to show your ticket at the box office inside. 

We then proceeded into the museum and went directly to line up for the cup. We manage to get ahead of a few people as they were checking out some of the Museum exhibits. Only about 10 people in the cup line in front of us. 

The line progresses fairly quickly. I guess it depends on how many people in your group want an individual photo and then a group one. We had 4 in our group so it will take a little longer than an individual. They don’t hurry you along but it’s not like you get to take the cup out on a date. You take it in, take a snap and move on. 

When it’s your turn they give you an antiseptic wipe to wipe your hands. I’m not sure if that’s to protect the cup, protect you or protect others. 

You have to wear a mask in the museum but can take it off for the photo. 

As mentioned earlier you are told you can touch but not lift the cup. 

So in summary my best advice is to get there early particularly if you are in the morning group. I think we had had our photo before the actual start time of 10am.

    My unexpected thought seeing it in person is it’s bigger than I thought. It is a damn big trophy. A6B25200-6FCF-4555-A62D-63EC60D812AE.thumb.jpeg.0b5e58b98ef390a33b19b1015dbcdec1.jpegEB587CAB-00AB-4B80-B4B5-C7335060A8C3.thumb.jpeg.b1c0600e6365afaa359a90fec315e200.jpegCED576A6-1BE9-4DDE-A051-52989C73E823.thumb.jpeg.4619a90c6a5a29c4744ad1e73deb3db3.jpeg

    You look like one of the most under rated guitarists of the last 20 years or so Steve Craddock. Are you Steve?

    Judging by my guitar skills, I'm not him.

    It's strange but I feel happier having seen it but not touched it than holding it for 5 seconds for a photo.

    This is a dumb question but where are the other 12 cups housed? Are they kept at the MCG if so where? In the MCC?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
