We were parked on the grassy surrounds. I wasn’t the driver but since I paid for parking it was me who interacted with the parking guy. I asked the driver which road we used to enter the hellhole and she sent me this…

Yes your on part of the Crown Land reserve managed by the Trust. Just next door to the swimming pool.

Lengthy question sent off to the Trust last night.

 Stay tuned.

    Death, taxes and playing like [censored] at the MCG.

    I really hope this is rectified this year considering 6 out of our 8 losses took place there last year.

    This MUST be rectified, there's never an excuse to lose 3 in a row on that ground for this side.

    I’d have this number 1 on the improvement agenda.

    If we’re not playing our best footy and not winning more than 60% of our games at the G, then we’re not making prelims and granny’s.

    Makes you wonder how Melbourne would finish up if we played ALL our h&a games interstate mostly in Perth Adelaide and the Gabba.

    Top 4 probably. MCG is a worry.

    except that's not true. most journos are lazy and just say "out of contract kickett"

    it's not that hard to get it correct

    "Out-of-contract livewire" is the latest iteration.

    Umpire Nichols watching Max get a forearm to the head every marking contest and saying “nothing to see”. 
    I looked at him in the centre when BBB got those inside 50  frees in the final quarter and he looked so peeved.   Never would have paid them himself.

    Is he the bald one? Still upset with Maxy for belting the ball away at the centre bounce all those years back??

    • 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.
