They had an excellent local shiraz at "The Burra" .

Overindulgence in which accounted for my late arrival in Coober Pedy.

Perhaps Uncle you needed Indy's Dial of Destiny Revivative to assist in recovery!😁

    Is anyone else here a naive [censored] like me that is surprised it's so cold in Alice? Honestly thought the place was hot all year round.

    Mate, it can get below zero at night in winter, but days are normally sunny and 20+ degrees.

     

    The coldest ever recorded high in Alice is 7 degrees, we could match that today. I suspect we will have a very poor crowd as the weather is a huge turn off for locals.

    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.

    Forecasting a massive 8 degrees today... radar is a sea of green.

    Should be plenty of ducks about.

    The forecast is for 8 degrees tommorow. Low of 5, top of 8. What the?

    Forget Alice Springs locals, that would turn off a lot of Melbourne residents. 

    I can't ever recall going to the footy for a day game that cold. Maybe one game at tge g when we came back from a huge 3/4 time deficit to win in one of our bleak years ' maybe 15 years ago. 

    RGRS, how well does traeger Park drain?

    Forecast is for 5-15mm there today and 0-5mm tommorow morning.

    Hopefully it's not cold AND wet.

    I think Alice has got word of Uncle coming to town and has simply responded accordingly. This weather certainly cannot be a coincidence. And I believe it’s  going to be more than the weather that gives Uncle the cold shoulder this weekend. I just feel sorry for his niece.

    Burra is one of my favourite country towns. Incredible history. For a relatively short while it was the largest tin producer in the world.

    7.3degrees here now, feels like 2.2 according to the app. In almost a decade here, today is the worst I have experienced.

     

    As for drainage, I can’t say, but rain hasn’t been heavy enough, so I expect it to be slippery but not really wet.

     

    I will try get to training session and report from there.

    Anyone at training, I will have heavy demon’s jacket with big MFC on back, with two kids, boy 9, girl in glasses 13, my name is Dave, introduce yourselves please

     

    on a side note, until today, I have never worn the jacket during the day in Alice

    I will admit to being as soft as melted butter - it was too cold to go to this afternoon's training session. "Feels like" on the weather app has been around 5 deg most of the day. Kudos to anyone who braved the cold to go to the session.

    After waiting some years to finally get to this game, it's really disappointing that the weather tomorrow is likely to kill the atmosphere and cruel the crowd numbers. But a solid win will make the long trip worthwhile. Let's smash the Ghastly Woeful Shockers!

    The Uncle Bitter show  has arrived in Alice.

    I know Territorians are famous for their hospitality but I'm quite touched that they  put on a fireworks display in my honour.

    OK, so now I’m in Taranto and will follow the game from here. That has to be an omen. Some bloke from the Toigs has that name and he’s goin’ arright.

    Hey we want to go to that part of the world and explore Puglia. Maybe in the next couple of years. Rain and 30 on Sunday where u r, a far cry from Torquay and the Alice. See you at the footy when you get back.

    I was feeling jealous of everyone making the trip, as it’s definitely on my list of must attend games, but definitely not in the budget right now.

    But seeing the weather, has eased that jealousy quite a bit.

    • 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 lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
