Meh. At what point do we stop this? Big profit this year. Is this really necessary? It certainly isn’t translating into much local support.

Am I missing something? I’m less than indifferent about it.

 

I would strongly recommend that any demons that haven’t been to Alice it is a great opportunity to visit the Red Centre and get to see the Dees play at an excellent Regional ground. The indigenous kids love the game and if you are as fortunate as us you could get to stay in the same Resort as the team. I would also recommend a visit to Stanley Chasm and Simpson Gap via a bus tour whilst in Alice Springs a real eye opener and quite emotional.❤️💙

Why would we stop it? Even if it doesn’t turn into memberships, this is always a symbolically powerful game to embrace Alice Springs - a place that loves footy and gets little love back.

Also, we don’t turn up to GWS/Freo/Port/GC games at the G so we’re not missing much.

I guess am more than indifferent about it…

Hopefully either this game is a twilight or night game or we have a 7 day break the next week.

I can’t help but think we ran out of gas against the Dogs (round 19) after playing in 25 degree heat 6 days earlier.

Yeah, I hear that.

I guess I feel like it’s hard for us to be perceived as a more powerful club when the general population turns on the TV and watches us play a home game in front of 4000 people, 3000 of whom are barracking for the opposition.

I also feel like every argument made for this focuses on the community engagement aspect. I’m not convinced we should be the only club doing that, when the big clubs do absolutely nothing, and don’t get asked.

I know the club speaks favourably about it, so they must enjoy it. 👍

we've won our last 5 games at treager park so in terms of maximising our ladder position it's a real positive

Love that we are back to Alice Springs.  Very supportive of the  I’ve been to Darwin twice back a few years ago and enjoyed it.  Hopefully I can get time to get to the Alice game in the next year or so.  


I have no clue but would assume the club chats with the footy dept. and players. Players seem to like playing at Alice and we go OK there so I have no problem in us playing someone like GWS in Alice.

That is so true Mono the day we did Simpson Gap it was -5oC T 6:30 and a pleasant 22 when we got back.!!

“We will continue with the Alice Springs game,” Pert said. “It’s something that the players and the whole club understands, the importance of the work up there, and we have been playing there for a long time. We always give supporters a replacement home game to go to.
 
“When we played two games in the NT we needed to because we were in financial trouble, then we improved our financial position, and we cut back to one game.
“There is not a financial need now, but as a choice - we talked about it, and we involved the footy department as well - and we have no plans to stop playing that game. It’s something that we think is culturally important for the club. We are invested in that decision.”
 

The Alice, is a ripper place to visit, espcially when we play. The club has done so much good work with the locals. I think of the initiative to grass the Santa Maria oval was a stand out. The enjoyment of watching the kids at the game, they know their football, and we do have quite a large following, which is growing.

That’s an interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like it’s here to stay. I look forward to watching us travel around Australia every week in July and August while Geelong play their last 12 games within an hour of their homes. Won’t frustrate me at all.

Agreed. If this game is to be played away yearly. Then it must fall before the Bye, otherwise we put ourselves at an automatic disadvantage

I don't believe that for one second and the results speak for themselves. 

Needs the actual date and time to be announced asap.

Booking flights and accommodation (even buying a game ticket) is not the easiest.

Big supporter of this game and well marketed it has the chance to be a TV blockbuster (not sure GWS is a great choice but for around $750k from the NT govt you can understand why)

I don’t think there will be 3000 supporter for GWS this year - nevertheless, I find it embarrassing when we play in the caverness MCG in front of 20k against these teams…

We will never be in that ‘most powerful’ club echelon and we have to reconcile that - we have our own place and we are shoring up our club while also winning, starting the women’s game, and driving into NT, raising money for BCNA and Reach, and FightMND.

We do ok.

Was lucky enough to watch live last year and the locals love it and glad the club is doing this again.

Hopefully the match will be part of Indigenous round.

Are you going DJ? Oh my error I thought it round 4.5 being discussed. 

Edited by old dee

And yet St Kilda (who need the money way more than us these days) have canned "home" games interstate.

(don't disagree with us playing up there BTW)

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
