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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • 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.
