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.

    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.

    Oh i agree. I have spent time up there. 

    It is another world compared to the Southern States.

    gives our opposition the following week a free hit

    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

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
