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.

    Yep, that's unpleasantly humid.

    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

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
