Their 50’s look fairly open. Why does our always look so congested?

Yep it’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 don’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 – half of the players are lying on the ground.

    BTW. What’s happened to the SCG this week? Mario Lanza concert? Pavarotti? Caruso? Certainly looks like they have dug up half the ground. Couldn’t be from that one 12 weeks ago? Were they radioactive?

    • 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.
