How does the game feature in the phsyce of the town RGR.

Does it have any sense of occasion or is it just a novelty amongst the locals.

For that matter is the Alice an Aussie Rules town or a rugby league town?

Town is split between two sports, when AFL in town people from communities come in, is a great day (and often an eventful evening....)

Those coming up for the game, if any, don’t make it a hit and run. Central Australia is amazingly beautiful, you can be busy for a month and not see all the sites. Anyone coming up for the game and wa

And if doing a 3 day tour, best and cheapest way to do it is fly into Yulara (Uluru) and do the tour finishing in Alice, if timed right with airfares, the savings on airfare will pay for tour. I know

Anyone staying at Lasseters? I was banned from their about 12 years ago. I’m heading over for this game with a mate who goes for Adelaide. We’ll probably end up at the Casino. I’ve ordered a fake nose and glasses. 

Cmon.... what's the story...lol

For those coming to Alice, there is an open training session (from previous years a light workout) scheduled for 3pm, expect it to be very light as the weather forecast is unseasonably warm for this game, Saturday and Sunday looking like the two warmest days we have had in a long time

Thinking about it for next year.

What about the slow road trip via say Mildura and Broken Hill. In a non 4 wheel drive city car.

Any ideas of nice places to stop and see along the way and of course the Rock (accomodation is pricey there and hard to get but you only go once or twice !!) Don't mind staying at old pubs or the like rather than the usual characterless Aussie motel.

Pink Lakes @ Walpeup.

Play 18 holes at Manangatang on the scrapes: watch the (I think the) 16th par 3 wedge over the mallee scrub!

My wife is from Alice Springs.

According to family legend when she turned up to the casino and proudly told the bouncer it was her 18th he did an enormous double take. She'd been a regular there for years (depending on who you believe).

Is a warm up game between teams from the top end against one from the centre, having seen a bit of footy up here, this could be very entertaining and well worth arriving a bit early, could be quite entertaining 

Austin Wonaeamirri coaching Top End Storm. Wonder if he's playing?

Just wondering as to what the lighting is like at the ground and whether a night game is a possibility in the future.

Possible, I think, but not needed, very cold here at night in winter, normal temperatures 20-22 degrees

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
