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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
