    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.

    Zig and Zag? The Peters Ice-cream men. Who could forget their foray onto the Albert Park ground when the Dees played Sth Melbourne?

    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"

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
