I hope they continue it. I think if the Demons want to enter an arragnment of selling home games somewhere Darwin is the place where they will get the most support.

I use to live in Darwin, then Brisbane. Forget QLD, AFL will always be second there, I copped heaps and had huge difficulties finding a Pub that would even change from a Foxtel Rugby replay to a live Demons game, I'd often find myself sitting in a shitty corner of the Exchange watching it with no sound.

I think if the match was played a month later, there would be no chance of a suprise humidity hit and then all this talk of "taking it out of the players" would be greatly reduced. The NT Thunder team travel from Darwin to Brisbane and back all season.

Anyway will be interesting to follow the developments. Western Bulldogs and Port aren't going to be as vigurously followed by the NT Government. Most people in Darwin dislike both Adelaide teams, I went to a Port/Bulldogs game and didn't see any Port Adelaide flags around. I honestly thought the only team that could get any support in Darwin was Essendon, but I was told the support for the Dees at the Darwin game was huge.

I am new to demonland, been a demon supporter my whole life.

Welcome to the forum. I was pretty surprised about the humidity in May too. I went to NTU and then worked up there for a couple of years, and hadn't seen anything like that. I'd put it down to the southern media no really knowing what was going on so I'm pleased to hear that it was just a freak of nature.

We should push very hard to play games there: we get good money and we can gather supporters from an area that loves its footy but is treated as a backwater.
