Call me crazy but I have a 3 day weekend (work roster) next week so I've decided to fly from work in remote WA to Darwin then to Alice Springs to watch our boys play on Saturday against Port. I have never been to NT.

I flew to Melbourne last week for the Tigers game (and yes to see my Mrs) and had the best time at the G.

Anyone else going out of their way to Alice Springs or am I simply crazy?

P.s. I have the day before and after the footy to kill some time, anyone recommend a good way to spend a few hours around Alice Springs (drive to Uluru is too far)?

I was thinking about doing something similar, but I just can't fit it in. Hope you have a great time up there.

So it was a congical visit then was it BRB?

On a serious note based on the way Port played last night it will be a huge test for us.

Hopefully the neutral venue and the fact that they had a really tough game against the hawks will hold us in good stead.

My concern is that if the hawks couldn't hold them then I doubt we will be able to but u never know.

I hope you enjoy, I think it won't be a good day for us, but I hope you have fun.

Hi Bleeds, my wife is an Alice Springs girl. Her quick suggestions are the Desert Park, the Telegraph Station, Ormiston Gorge in the Macdonald Ranges, and any of the multitude of art galleries.

It really depends on what your interests are, but there's a bit of variety listed there.

Don't forget to allow time to attend training the day before and post a full report!

I'm lucky enough to be working in Darwin this week so will be flying home through Alice to go to the game.

Can't see us getting up unless Port are flat after last night's win and we can catch them napping.

A win would be sensational - would set up a good game for QB with a big crowd, would love to see 65,000 at the 'G.

Hope you have a good day, and hopefully a win BRB

Planning on that one GV

I will be there

With my two sons

My daughter works there and has a friend

Five demon supporters

Does anyone know if there are any special arrangements by the club for any diehards who venture up there
