    I'm sure this issue will get sorted and the game will go ahead in Alice. All just a bit of media hot air.

    If not, there are only 2 MCG games that weekend and 1 at Marvel so there is plenty of availability to bring the game back to Melbourne. We could even look at GMHBA if there is a cheque attached to it to make up for the cash shortfall that NT would've provided.

    We must not accept a game in Darwin. We're playing for sheep stations this year and have the hard running St Kilda at Marvel the following weekend. We can't afford to have our preparation compromised in such a key game (St Kilda). Even last year we ran out of gas the week after playing in a mid 20's Alice Springs day.

    8 interstate games is a bit of a shock and definitely too many. The club may have just let this happen in the past but we're at the point where we should be pushing back on this.

    Clubs outside Vic have 10 interstate trips a year. The WA clubs travel far exceeds anything we do.

    They also get to play on their actual home ground more.

    I hadn't seen any media follow up to this story so I rang the club ..... and yes .... the game is going ahead as originally scheduled.

    Tickets are now available but you have to go through Ticketmaster's convoluted hoops to get one.

    We have fond memories of Alice Springs in 2022, I would recommend that anyone attending hook up with the Demon Army they guided us to best seating handed out flags and allowed us to join in the crowd noise. Great day out in unfamiliar circumstances and who would forget The Kozzie, Kozzie, Kozzie chant as he lit up the ground with six great goals that helped us keep Port at bay.!!!

    I'm going and have ordered  (and paid for) tickets but have not received them yet. (Dealing with Ticketmaster must surely provide some atonement for my many sins)

    I'm not sure about sitting with the Demon Army though, as I might run into Demonland's resident nut case @WalkingCivilWar - scary thought.

    I wonder how many Demonlanders are heading up for the game?

    Demonland’s resident nutcase will be watching this match on TV. ☹️

    I’ve always wanted to attend an Alice match but it’s beyond my means. The airfare alone would see my son and me on a forced diet for a month. 😭 Mainly him since he eats the equivalent of a small village, livestock included, in a single day. Every day. 😁

    I’ll likely watch it at The Sporting Globe in Richmond with others who can’t go for whatever reason.

    First time for me also old. I travelled all around Oz but never to Alice.

    I should have added that I'm driving. 

    I intend to take a fairly direct route there but I'm not sure what I'll do for the return. Maybe Uluru , maybe go north for a while and come back through NSW. Suggestions welcome.

    Better to return via Barossa.

    It's one hell of a drive Bitters.

    But sounds great.

    Back when swine flu hit, I loaded up my young family and drove from Melbourne to Port Douglas. Stopped at every Maccas on the way . Took about 2 weeks. The highlight for my 4 year old son was a dead pig on the side of the road not far from Townsville. Oh the memories. Don't know how many times I pointed out the sugercane.

    You could swing through Broken Hill. Though not sure what it has to offer and not sure if you need a 4wd. Then sun yourself later on in Mildura.

    Personally I think outback SA has more to see especially Cooper Pedy.

    Not many roads/choices unfortunately? If you have a 4WD there's always the Birdsville Track. At this time of year it should be cool weather wise with a lot of red earth surrounds.

    If I had the time and inclination I'd head up to Kakadu and Darwin ..Cairns. Good luck finding a camp spot at Uluru on short notice

    It's probably more the people that make some of these remote places fascinating.  It is pretty cool once you hit the red dirt. It's so iconic

    Do you have a 4wd or not.

    Yes.... but I'm towing a camper van that is suitable only for moderate off road.

    If you do Uluru definitely go on to do Kings Canyon. All 2wd. Google it.

    Closer to Alice is the Alice Springs Desert Park.  I thought it would be too touristy… I was wrong, it was very good.

    Have fun

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
