I offer my sincere condolences for my error, thought this was a footy forum, not an English course by correspondence

Don't take me too seriously! Just thought you might like to know for future reference. I certainly understand that this is a footy forum.

I wasn't taking it seriously, hence my out of context reply......I had a good laugh..first reply I typed was 'what are you implying'.......just annoyed me that somebody was possibly s*** stirring about a function on the board...... lot's of posters going to support the team in Darwin and don't want it spoilt.....

Couldn't resist. Booked my ticket this afternoon and off to Darwin TONIGHT!!! Actually about to go to the airport for my red eye special. 1st interstate game ever for me. I'll be trying to get to training at 19:30 Friday evening if I can. I'll be wearing a Demons guernsey (as I'm sure all the others will as well). Anyone going for post match bevvies? Maybe post a venue if you know a good one and some of us demonlanders can meet up.

Not many pubs near the ground so your best bet will be getting back into the city and head down Mitchell Street there are lots of pubs down the street. Monsoons, Shenanigans and The Tap are a few good ones.

I'm at Monsoon's on Mitchell St. They do a good pizza...

We just had a bit of rain just before... Nothing too heavy, but pretty refreshing with the humidity!

It's been pretty random this week though and they dont' reckon it'll be gne until about Monday or Tuesday so it looks like it will make for pretty tough conditions come Saturday night...

I also rang AFL NT before and have been told that training is at 19:15-20:00 (pretty short session!) at TIO Stadium Friday night, so once again, if anyone's keen, I'll be there, drop me a line on D.L.

So pumped for the game, my mate works up here for a local radio station (Mad dees supporter) and is doing the MC ing for the game!

PS where is everyone sitting? I'm in 'Green 2' in the stand...

Does anyone know if TIO has a electronic scoreboard..ie: for replays??

lol...sorry im a local...that made me laugh.

Sadly we do not...

Though if you do have questions about Darwin ask away.

This rain is not normal for this time of the year. There is usually less humidity and the weather is perfect.

Great to see a few Melbourne lads making the trip up here to support. The last time the Deez came up was for a NAB cup game and to be a Darwin Dee and see a crowd full of Melbourne supporters was quite a spectacle. And just a quick heads up. The boys will be picking up their afternoon snacks from Nando's Chicken on Smith St in Darwin City at 4.30pm for anyone wanting to catch the lads. The weather up here was actually quite cool a few days ago but when Aussie was selected the rain came back. He is 'Da Rainmaker!!!'

There has been a bit of precipitation about, but it generally only lasts for a short period. Kakadu was sensational. Back in Darwin and pumped. For those who aren't aware, there are free buses to the ground from Cavenagh Street outside Woolworths. I found this out from the lady at the Darwin Entertainment Center where I picked up my tickets. You just line up with the other fans and get on the buses that will be running regularly up to gametime. Also, there were heaps of dees fans on my plane up here Thursday night. Looks like the ground will be a sea of red and blue. Shame Liam Jurrah isn't playing. The locals would LOVE to see him in the red and blue and would flock to the ground.

At training right now, so good. Arrived before the players so got to have a good chat to Scott west, brad Miller, green, and had a hoot chat with the man himself DB! He didn't seem to happy with the ground condition lol. Mathew Primus is hidden in the crowd spying on us too

Well that was a good bit of fun, albeit a very short training session,

Big emphasis on the slippery conditions tonight with the players practicing a lot of ground level kicks and drills.

The boys then headed straight to the freezer room next to ground for about ten minutes straight after and were nowhere to be seen after that...

As for the ground, a lot different to anything you'll see down south, rather a very spongy 'couch' turf up here (most pitches in melbourne are rye) but very slippery and wet from the rain we had earlier today... Looks like it'll be more or less the same for tomorrow night, should be a cracker.

had a good chat to Scotty West too and said the gloves helped him when he played the last few years so expect a few to be wearing them tomoro night.

Interesting to note that Spencer at the shops today when I spoke to him told me that he was an emergency... Possibly Nev Jetta will take his place , when I asked Dean Bailey tonight he was pretty coy and said that Spencer "is every chance to play".

He also said that Wona "has played two games in the VFL and we could have waited another week, but he needs to play some senior football"

lol straight from the horses mouth, hopefully Jetta gets the nod.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
