Make it happen #1

I'm at Cape Pat, so cool for me too

 

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.

Knock, knock!

Who's there?

Your neighbour!

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?

I will be there working, looking forward to it.

Im assuming @Rod Grinter Riot Squad will be there?

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.

Currently using our homes equity to feed my lad. 

Chicken nuggets provide good value and added growth hormones.

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.

Solved-Book a doubled room

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

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
