Anyone know why there aren't flights between Uluru and Alice Springs any more. I'm sure I took one about 6 or 7 years ago.

    Dude I was just looking up that exact same thing. I remember planning a trip in 2014 when we played Port. We wanted to do Alice Springs with a side trip to Uluru. My eldest was 6 and I thought it would be easier to fly than to drive or bus the 5 or 6 hours albeit more expensive and I'm positive there were flights between Alice and Uluru. We didn't end up going so my memory is only of the planning of the trip but I was sure that there were flights.

    Turns out there aren't anymore and if you want to fly from Uluru to Alice or vice versa you have to fly to Sydney, Brisbane or Cairns and it will take 23 hours with 2 stops. Crazy.

    That's insane, I can't believe the at the very least REX don't run flights to Uluru from Alice. I can only imagine they figure as a tourist location most people only fly in/out from the major cities.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
