Yes. We make $500k playing in the top end per game, whereas if we were to play a game at the 'G against interstate teams such as Gold Coast and Adelaide, we'd make nothing near that. If it was a bad s

If you look at the fixture you will notice that clubs who sell home games have been given less interstate away games than other clubs. The AFL want games in the NT. We get the money and less

May we quote the great Federico

"I hope the Darwin game isn't dropped, been to three up to now, great place to watch footy and chill"

As local attendees and top end MFC members scored the triplepeat last season twice visiting the 'G' R4&5 V pies and AD eve V tigers and thrice at TIO Marrara R16 V dockers.

Ended bleak winless winters at the MCG first victory viewed there since David Nietz's 250th game and emphatically reversed the trend at TIO.

May the light at the end of the tunnel burst forth into glorious demon triumphs! MMXVII

would you go if both games are in Alice Springs?

Many of us can understand the need to play interstate (hell.... how many games did we gift Brisbane during their ascendancy) but the climatic differences between Melbourne and Darwin when taken together with the closeness of the comp make Darwin a high risk game against clubs where we should have a home ground advantage.

Even the Dogs who play in Cairns (once) only move to a 26 degree environment ..... Darwin is 30 degrees mid winter

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
