You claim it's a growing membership yet have no idea what the figures are. Either put up or shut up.

Has nothing to do with whining, it's a discussion forum we're allowed to discuss these things.

The Typical answer i fully expected. I would prefer the 2 NT games to be at The MCG so i could attend.

After a superb victory over the Eagles finals beckon. At the moment we could be facing the prospect of four consecutive games at the MCG.Instead, in a few weeks,we travel to Darwin to face the Crows.

I am a supporter of the Darwin match for a couple reasons. 1. it provides sponsorship dollars with the NT government and helps the club grow while we consolidate membership. The back of jumper sp

A quick question for anyone who's been at a Darwin night game this time of year? Is it actually particularly humid? It is the dry season, after all. 

Cheers, As Demonland's self-appointed Northern Territory correspondent and a Darwin resident, plus an attendee at every Melbourne Footy Club game pre-season competition, Women's AFL and regular season here ... ! No, the humidity levels during the mid - dry season are no where near those in the wet season when most local aussie rules is actually played. Although the variation between comfortable cool conditions and more tepid evening temperatures depends on the height of the ski season down south :wub:. Down hill skiers only!

Darwin airport readings for yesterday:

7pm: game time Temp 25 (feels like 27) Relative Humidity 70

10pm: end of game Temp 22 (feels like 24.5) Relative humidity 83

Melbourne readings for yesterday:

7pm: 13 (feel like 10) Relative hum: 60

10pm: 10 (feels like 8) Relative humidity : 83

(Same humidity you say .... nah relative humidity is measured by reference to what amount of water air can hold at  a particular temperature..... so at a temp of 25 the air has a hell of a lot more water to achieve a humidity factor of 83 than at a temp of 10 degrees).

As an example when our Melbourne temps are 25 in January our relative humidity reading is typically 40-50

Hopefully some of our whiz bang scientists can drop in:

Problem is they wouldn't be. At least one and most likely both would be scheduled at Docklands. We'd also then have at least one and most likely two more interstate trips. So it's swings and roundabouts for me. Only issue I have is no bye after the Darwin game. Frankly it's downright idiotic that this isn't the case. I can't fathom why it wouldn't be.

I can see now where i erred re Alice and Darwin.

However. As original post references Darwin I can see where I derailed.

Still. If to keep buckeroos then ( for mine ) only Alice as away in season. 

Darwin...well

well

well

No one gives a reasonable equation for Darwin during h/a

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
