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.

  • 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.
