I am flabbergasted by this. Nearly everyday I receive a NT Tourism email, directly as a result of the MFC association. I even planned to go to the last match in the Alice (but is was too dear)!

 

Move Gold Coast Suns to Darwin - they become NT Suns.

Then they can have permanent "community engagement" with their own team.

 

The follow up move is GWS Giants to Tasmania - they become Tassie Giants.

WIN/WIN.

If this has turned political then anything can happen. 


Is there a chance Essendon may move up there permanently?

The "Darwin Bombers" has a curiously natural ring to it. Perhaps the last few years have been leading to this all along

Care factor - zero.

So you are going to provide the lost half a million dollars ProDee?

 

The quicker we get out of the Darwin game the better.

Just a shame we didn't get in on Hobart faster. Would've worked nicely. 

Roosy's contract off the books will save plenty of cash. The money is one positive and as much as I'd like to go to all the games I think reducing the number of MCG games acts as a positive by increasing crowds for the other games.  Suplly v demand etc. That's been the true master-stroke of the Hawks deal I think, which is a bit of a sad thought.

Best news ever, how about we play all our home games at the MCG from no thatd be good


Hard to draw a crowd and become a popular local representative when you lose nearly every game.

So the NT News is full of sh!t yet again......

Put the Bosses in Jail for a few weeks....

I don't know why people are up in arms about us playing there by citing our poor record - we've had a poor record at every ground for 5 years.

I'd love to see a figure of how many memberships have been bought by residents in the NT though.  Have we really had a positive impact?

NT Government clarifies Melbourne Demons relationship

When was the last time I believed something I read in a newspaper?

"Recent media coverage that the Melbourne Demons are set to be given the flick from the NT is both inaccurate and ill-informed,” Mr Barrett said."

Thank god for that because I'll be there for our first NT game on 28 May against Port Adelaide.

 

Back-peddling nonsense. NT News is the NT News but there are direct quotes from the Chief Minister from a radio interview that he is unhappy with the MFC. The NT government is a bigger rabble than even we ever were.

They're also much more interested in the NRL as noted by his comments.

Port Adelaide would be a perfect fit for NT, but they don't need to sell their games so there's no need to have a team there.

Doesn't suprise me. Most Governments are like that now...

Stuff Darwin. Just play 2 games in Alice, no sapping heat or humidity for the players in the middle of the year.

 

Can't wait to take my son to his first game when they play here this year.

Hmm. On the surface it sounds disappointing, but let's wait and see.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
