    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"

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
