according to the hygrometer in my study, it implies that 65% is the point between "normal" and "very humid"

but i don't trust my instruments ?

In your study... mine are in my humidor...

is your study one big humidor??? 

 

:)

I do know they have other uses... just none I care about ?

An almost absolute majority of posters on this thread appear to be against the ?️ Darwin fixture. A brief scan reveals some fair and rationale analysis and a couple of humorous 'gems' amongst the usual backwash. Win lose or draw since the the Demons first appearance at Marrara ?️ for a pre-season game V doggies in the wet  ?️ season. Where the heat and humidity actually was a factor, way back in the dreamtime when Robbo was still taking speccies ? and a tropical ?️ cooled off proceedings. Jack Watts and Brad Miller forming a dynamic duo up forward to provide impetus for a convincing victory against port power, game one of the triplepeat. Jack Trengrove's footy smarts won the game V port for the game 2 return bout. Liam Jurrah's cameo magical Marrara goal of the decade. Neville Jetta gracing the grandstand wing pre-rookie revival, Nathan Jones's set shot goal outside fifty metre arc, leading the way  pre-captaincy, followed by Jaydyn Hunt's spectacular spiraling torp over the ginger crow ? ruckman last year. Yeah survived the karma bus episodes wandering about in the footy universe outer limits. Reality is Northern Territory $$$ have helped keep the good ship ?? afloat. Your top-end correspondent has been seriously entertained, enjoyed and at times, if necessary endured all the Mighty Demons matches here in Darwin. If the game this Saturday is to be the last... well as George Harrison crooned "All things must past".

Go :lol:!!!

Hey Tarax

My Mum and Dad are up your way for the game and a weekend of R+R. Dads actually a member here on Demonland but he is old and having password issues (he will be reading this by the way, hi Dad?). He called and asked me to ask you if there is anything happening before the game either formal or informal in the local area that fellow Demon supporters can attend?

Cheers in advance ?

My question is why didn't you run the full.

It was only a half marathon comp. I had to run back to my hotel room later on as I forgot my ID to get into the second pub, had a spew while running and later got chased by police so probably ended up running a full marathon In total. Haven’t been there for a few years now, if we play there next season I’ll try and get to it.

Coach,

Only pre-game event I'm aware of (from the club's website) is the team will be training at Marrara oval tomorrow morning at 10:30 am until 11:30 am followed by players signing autographs and doing photos with fans.

Cheers TC

Another snippet which may be of interest. Players will be appearing at Intersport at Gateway shopping centre Palmerston on Friday evening apparently, best check with store for times.

Hope you are right. Playing in 80% humidity for a one off game is ludicrous.

Didn't we hear recently that they renewed this disaster but we are trying to get it scheduled before the bye ?

... not before the bye, we want a bye after our NT game. July is my bet.

I think we need to get the AFL to consider a brand new stadium here in Melbourne.

If the AFL want to have game/games in the NT why not consider having the the teams who are not going to play finals, play each other for the NT cup? This gives the bottom sides something to play for whilst the the teams in the eight prepare for finals.

I wish that were the case but when the AFL holds you over a barrel you don't get a day in these things

Que?  

The sooner this game is dumped the better. What the hell is the purpose of it? To unsettle and exhaust players and make them play in conditions which would exhaust any athlete.

I’d like the game in Darwin to continue and see how long we can extend the streak.

And aside from the physical aspects of the Darwin trip the game itself is woeful to watch.

Everyone talks about the importance of ‘brand’ and this game isn’t helping ours.

I do enjoy a good streak. I do agree though, the game has to be dumped. Win or lose, the toll those conditions take on the players bodies would no don’t be a set back. I’d gladly pay a bit extra on my families three memberships so we can assist with scrapping it.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
