Hi all,

Long time reader, first time poster here. Apologies if this topic has been discussed elsewhere, I don’t know how to search for past topics. As an NT member, I was wondering if anyone knows what our plans are in regards to games up here this year?

I saw news this week about the Dreamtime game being moved up here, which is great for NT fans, but I haven’t heard anything on whether the Dees will be up North sometime this year. I also see that Gold Coast will play an NT match.

It would be disappointing if we didn’t play up here, from a selfish perspective, but also given that Dees have put a lot of time and effort into footy in the Territory. 
 

If anyone has any info, I’d really appreciate hearing. Go Dees

    I believe we are keen to play a game in Alice.

    But yesterday the NT goverment declared Brisbane a hotspot so restrictive quarantine conditions apply.  So who knows where what will happen.

    This thread has more discussion about fixture happenings.

    Love your moniker name!

    Thanks for the link. I’ll head over there for a read. Hopefully after we finish with the hub in QLD we can find a way to play in NT.

    After the two games in Adelaide we could commandeer The Ghan up to Alice and play Collingwood, Fremantle and Essendon. The first two can fly in from Perth together and the Bombers can get the same train down from Darwin. If Gold Coast are also penciled in to play in the top end against someone they could get the same train down and play Collingwood. Essendon and the Pies could each be based at one of the drug and alcohol free communities in the area to keep them out of trouble.

    Brilliant.. I'm trying to think of some wonderful name for the extravaganza of football in the red centre.

    We could even have a song sung to the tune of Living next door to Alice

    You're welcome DJ. There would still be some finer points to iron out I'm sure but it would be a great advertisement for the NT and no tennis court to tempt Bucks within 1,200km.

    WTF is Queensland declared a hotspot?

    I'd hate to see if they had our numbers, they'd probably want the place razed to the ground.

    The consequences of covid gaining a foothold in the NT are a lot higher than other places though. In most communities, houses are typically shared by upwards of 20 people, and a substantial proportion have significant underlying health problems and limited access to health care. You couldn't design a better environment for a pandemic. Can't say I blame the NT for being conservative with borders!

    Yes, have to agree better to be conservative with this virus instead of careless.

    Surely Dees v Dockers in Alice Springs.  Round 16 or 17 

    Surely Pert and Bartlett will get us this one. Or are they soft?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
