anyone else making the trip to Darwin

Posted

So jealous!

I had planned to go, but thankfully I didn't book anything because as it turns out I started a new job this week. At least the game is live on Ch.10.

Best of luck with the new chapter in your life- a change in jobs.

Oh god are we on ten. I can almost here the whining on their amateur commentary team already. The best bit may well be the Auskick segment.

Yes! I am heading up. My first time seeing the boys play inter-state and my first time to Darwin.

Really looking forward to it.

I can't make it this year, but a few fellow M9er's are heading up.

You'll have a ball - oyster shots at The Tap on Mitchell, Darwin Trailer Yacht Club pre-game, a club post-match function at The Pint (walking distance from TIO), and Mindle Beach market on Sunday evening (post sunset).

What is the Saturday night $250 function? Can only see the Pint Club listed at the MFC site.

I went up with a group of 5 last year, and had a fantastic time, though I've never been so hot at the footy. It was a great atmosphere there, and Demon colours everywhere!

We stayed at the same place as the Demon players,and I remember seeing Brad Miller heading back to his room(no Pia) at about 2am. I congratulated him on his 5 goals, and he looked pretty pleased with himself!

One point worth remembering, is that it would be very hard to get a cab back to Darwin straight after the game. We went by taxi, and offered the driver $50(extra, between all of us), if he'd meet us at a particular pickup point.

After the game we saw lots of people desperately trying to hail cabs(including ours!)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
