    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.

    The club should help him out here. What a remerkable person.

     

    Get him in,  as a ball collector.

    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....

    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.

    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"

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
