    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.

    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"

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
