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 . 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

Yep, that's unpleasantly humid.

bit unfair calling darwin a dump 

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
