Is @Tarax Club Gary?

Tarax Club is our NT correspondent from memory. 

If you're reading this @Tarax Club, I'm currently stuck in Darwin if you know of somewhere the locals Dees' supporters go to watch? 

I doubt there's many more than 100 of us rusted-on up here - so should be within recommendations. :)

Skuit, if you're currently "stuck in Darwin"  my only recommendation would be the recreational lounge at old Impex worker's village at Howard Springs,  Social distancing may apply. You're right Demon's supporters here probably wouldn't raise a centurion's cohort. ?

I've met him at least once, at a pre-season game in Canberra.  Possibly Aaron Davey's first or second outing? 

As I recall, he has been variously involved with the club over the years, particularly as a volunteer stats gatherer/validator.

Surely there's a way.

Yeah, he's a life member of the club. He was also a timekeeper at the G I think and responsible for the siren. Really nice guy with some great stories to tell.

I'm the opposite. Over the last 50 years I've been to too many games I wish I had missed.

 

This would be a great thread of misery stories.

My clubhouse leader would be QB (2014?) where we kicked 3 goals for the day and the first one (N Jones) was in the first 45 secs of the game.

I caught the airport rail link to Brisbane CBD in 2018 (for the GC game) and got chatting to Gary.

Very friendly fella, knows his footy and love his Dees.

It’s a pity he can’t go to the game, but when people like Eddie McGuire, Peggy O’Neill and Brendan Gale can’t attend....

That would be their choice of course

Did Col Hutchison get to the Cats' game? He's an official AFL statistician, isn't he? He could probably have gone last night.

The Tigers' Dave Norman had not missed a Tigers game since 1973, but his run stopped a couple of years ago. He named his son Jack Dyer.

Make him a staff member for the weekend.

That’s what I thought too, but what about the next week? I think Gary’s run is up unfortunately.

A cohort? I would have thought Darwin was more of a contubernium.

Surely Demonland can turn this into a competition.

Finish this sentence, "When people like Eddie McGuire, Peggy O’Neill and Brendan Gale can’t attend...."

I'll start with, "the world is a better place"

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
