[Watts2Hogan 56]

Surprised nobody's yet mentioned BT's little stuff up on Friday pumping up the Eagles for their big heart of the nation clash on Alice Springs against Adelaide next round...

Dee Zephyr did on the Non MFC Games thread. Credit where credit is due. BT needs to study more doesn't he?

Dunno. But how stupid are we as a club, playing the reigning premiers at a neutral venue?

 

We’re one all with them at their home ground last season. They haven’t lost at the G for a few years. A neutral venue suits.

Why let pesky facts get in the way of a good rant?

What happened to the honourable tradition in football of taking things one week at a time?

Well it’s only the dogs today who we’ll easily beat. Our minds are on bigger things. After this it’s  into a top 4 clash w WC.. sigh.  I miss 2018.

Found this on the club website.

Not much info though. Anyone else going?

Totally agree. It is all about winning games.

Fund the $$ from elsewhere.

We as a rule play better in Alice than at the G. Until we get more members we all need to get over this rant as it will remain at least a game a year in NT for years to come.

Good for you RGRS!  Have a great day and have the kids fly the flag.

[Demondan75 188]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how much money we make annually out of the two games in the NT?

Sorry I missed this reply. So like Hawthorn and Tassie or the Bulldogs at Cazaly stadium in Cairns (they won the flag in 16). For mine it makes zero difference.

Agree Cards, good sides win anywhere

If we’re not good enough to win in the heat of Darwin (not the Alice) and then for us to be “too sapped of energy” the next week and lose that game and then to not make finals by a game or %, well we were never winning a flag in that season. 

This season is shot so the money we get from this game will potentially make up the forecast finals revenue we aren’t going to make that we would have budgeted for.
