    I hope the AFL change the location of the Suns Dees game and they play it in the NT, seeing that the NT missed out on their two games this year

    That gave me a lump in my throat.

    I don’t care how others perceive us. This is the club I love. It’s a club of big heartedness, community, families, loyalty, and solidarity.

    The praise given to the club for the work they’ve done here should be immense.

    This is an example of the role that the role that AFL can make the community a much better place for all.

    Congrstuelstions MFC this is another example of why we love our Club getting involved in the community. And the AFL just took Darwin off us and no replacement.!

    Just as an aside The Pies ( under Eddie) have supported and run a homeless meal centre for a long time in the community. So hats off to Eddie etc Also for their community contribution..

    It certainly tugs the heart string of us, the Demon faithful. Magnificent to give back to the NT community.

    Can't applaud it enough, but! This is a bone dry landscape and even drought tolerant bermuda fine couch needs some water.

    Please tell me the club has a funded a bore to supply the water needs.

    I would hate to see the headlines in two years where the oval returned to sandy dust. Just sayin.

    There is a bore there HB, let’s hope it doesn’t run dry.

     

    Santa Teresa is a community close to my heart, am friends with many in that video and have a deep love for the place. I saw the oval last Friday with the MCG goal posts, it looks amazing. I was invited to the opening, but due to work, couldn’t attend, but hope to get out there for a game soon (not this weekend though, Finke desert race is on!

    This effort by our club is just brilliant, so many teams make token efforts towards supporting indigenous communities (see Collingwood and Yuendumu) but to make a 4 year commitment, to create such a wonderful ground (right in the centre of the community) is just [censored] awesome, even converting someone like Nicky Hayes (Australia’s first professional indigenous skateboarder, ST local and founder of Spinifex skateboards) to AFL and the hordes of kids that worship him, it is just brilliant

    I’m glad that I’m not the only Demonlander with moist eyes about this story.  My love for, and pride in the red and blue will never falter, and this has nothing to do with ladder position.

    Articles talk about community matches being scheduled for the ground next year, but the first matches are scheduled for the last weekend in June.

     

    Is the AFL clearing out Traeger park oval to keep it free for potentially moving the Melbourne and Essendon game there?

    Great initiative and like others here I am very proud of our community involvement in the heart of the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
