Their 50โ€™s look fairly open. Why does our always look so congested?

Yep itโ€™s a real puzzle, Champion Data measures us as the second fastest ball movers in the competition, yet we when we enter our F50, everyone else is already there?

    Very few leads or movement too often, so opposition backmen guard grass. And going back 2022 - 2024, our forward gameplan was kick to contest, and get goals from ground balls or stoppages. I think the congestion is also a flow on from then.

    The surface at the left end of screen is a bloody disgrace.

    If anyone does a knee they should sue the AFL for allowing play in a substandard ground.

    Great footballer with great goal sense, but the worst over-celebrator in AFL history. Annoys the carp out of me.

    Commentators said it was due to an Andrea Bocelli concert and relayed turf

    Weird thing is Bocelli said it looked fine when he left

    That concert was months ago though, what have the ground staff been doing?

    Not much apparently

    disgraceful maintenance, not like you donโ€™t get rain in Shydney

    What a fantastic contest and massive pressure. And I have always thought that the jumpers of these two are a spectacular contrast especially at night - second only of course to Dees v anyone.

    Their 50s look open because nobody can keep their feet โ€“ half of the players are lying on the ground.

    BTW. Whatโ€™s happened to the SCG this week? Mario Lanza concert? Pavarotti? Caruso? Certainly looks like they have dug up half the ground. Couldnโ€™t be from that one 12 weeks ago? Were they radioactive?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.ย

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
