Because they are busy rehabbing their bodies so they are fit to play sooner, as opposed to going on a junket?

It Worked a treat the last two years!

nephew[mad pie fan] went to WA for collingwood game years ago

pregame BBQ had daicos and couple of younger injured player make appearance

he said on return it was the best moment from the weekend to actually spend REAL time with and afl player

has continued on interstate trips ever since

2012,we arrive at the G and see nobody on the bridge,nor going in the gate[we parked across the road for easy getaway]

was shocked that is was so boring, first time that this occured to me.

why isnt there a former or current player signing autographs at the gate for 45 mins,the kids would love it

members who pay for a [junket] interstate at least deserve some sort of pre game welcome and handshaking [photo op]

hopefully this year our deeds look like bringing in the crowds.

yes darwin is just a money grab

    So far so good AHG.

    What I would love to see from the MFC is low cost trip option to Darwin for those games.

    I can never understand why we cannot come up a reasonable priced option.

    Get it set up now months in advance, or advertise a special Dees charter flight up Friday back Sunday evening.

    I reckon you could fill a plane no problem.

    Come on MFC fire up

    OMG - I thought for a brief moment that you were going to advocate putting the team in a refrigerated truck and driving them up !!

    cant understand why injured players are not part of this weekend

    nice write up about your experience

    but for the life of me ,players under contract are a valuable asset to the club

    my daughter and i spent the day amongst a big crowd of 10,000 at the G one day

    went up to the bar and waiters had glum looks on thier faces because of a boring game and no patrons to serve,i asked the doorman "been busy mate",your the 3rd person weve seen was the reply

    my country attitude got the better of me and when i suggested what would business be like if an injured player or 2 gave a talk at half time and prematch,that would be wonderful and might even get people here he replied

    my daughter wrote to the club and suggested on the bad crowd days ,"why arent injured and non playing personal maybe manning the front entrance and talking to the kids that do show up.no reply forthcoming at this stage

    same with your darwin trip,wouldnt a BBQ be enjoyable with a senoir player on hand to explain a few myths away to supporters and generally give aspeech ,sign a few autos and make all the fly in fans feel welcome

    just my thoughts

    Because they are busy rehabbing their bodies so they are fit to play sooner, as opposed to going on a junket?

    Last year Robbo & a couple of injured players - Mark Jamar & a couple of others went up early and did clinics in Alice Springs & elsewhere along the way. Even had a small problem in their chartered light plane having to make an emergency landing.

    • 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.
