    Hey Guys, Wonderful that you're travelling for the game, it's a highlight of our calendar and something every Demons fan should experience at least once in their lives. One of the better places to stay is the DoubleTree Hilton along the river. It is about a 15-20 minute walk to the ground, most of it around the river, so it's nice. It also takes about 15 mins to walk into town. This accomodation is also home to Alice's best restaurant, Hanumans (you'll need to book). Link here: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/aspdadi-doubletree-alice-springs/?WT.mc_id=zLADA0AU1DT2PSH3GGL4INTBPP5dkt6ASPDADI7en_&epid!_&ebuy!&&&&&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9ZbWqq-9gwMV0DyDAx1xiAilEAAYASAAEgJdl_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Another option is the Mercure Alice Springs Resort (Where the players stayed last year). The food here is also pretty good. Cafes/Restaurants: Page 27 (Coffee, Breakfast, Lunch); Epilogue (Coffee, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner); Alice Springs Bakery (Coffee, Lunch [be early they sell out]). Also the Alice Springs Brewery is well worth a visit. It's just on the outskirts of town so you'll need to drive or take a taxi. Great beer and plenty of food options. I'll add to this post as time goes on. Feel free to ask any questions. See you at the game!
  2. Mate you're actually dumber then I thought you were, so I'll spell it out for you. I'm questioning your repeated criticism of our footy clubs recruiting team, not the potential, speculative, and somewhat fantastical pick swap's that you've dreamt up after a few warm VB's. Keep up [censored].
  3. The point I am trying to make is that full time paid staff members of professional sporting organisations, with a lifetime of recruiting knowledge and experience, know more than you. Enlightened?
  4. I remember the same complaints and threats coming when it became apparent that we were going to draft Jackson a few years ago. Honestly... honestly, if you cant put your faith in our recruiting team given their sustained success in recent, and not so recent years, then you may as well just give up on football.
  5. Pick 6: Caleb Windsor Pick 11: Connor O'Sullivan
  6. One of the most interesting things he had to say was that he was still hoping to improve upon picks 6 and 11. Also the discussion returned to West Coast not having said no to our previous offer for pick one rather they have just not accepted it yet. In Jason Taylorโ€™s mind at least, he has not given up on our ability to improve our draft hand.

    Iโ€™m not basing this on anything other than gut feel, but I canโ€™t help but think that if WC donโ€™t budge on pick 1 weโ€™ll turn our focus to NMโ€™s Pick 3 in an effort to snag Watson.

    Any chance weโ€™re into Jake Riccardi? According to Purple โ€˜Victorian clubs very interested with his out-of-contract status.โ€™ 23 years old and 26 goals from 15 matches this year.
  9. You may remember we had every intention of taking him until Port Adelaide pounced.

    From memory we were into Tucker in his draft year. Any chance he plays a role in the Jackson trade?

    'cause the media is gospel? Don't you mean until the club makes an offical statement?
  12. Great round up Phil, all great suggestions (I'm an Alice local as well). Can I also suggest that if you are seeking to purchase Aboriginal art while in Alice that you shop at an ethical gallery such as any of the ones (based in Alice Springs) listed here: https://desart.com.au/member-art-centres/ Also Talapi Gallery in the Todd Mall and Raft Artspace (8 Hele Cresent) are the two commercial galleries that deal exclusivley with Aboriginal Owned and directed art centres. Be great to see some Demons crew in town again. Go Dees!
  13. Demons to be wearing black arm bands this weekend. A very sad passing. Expect announcements to be made in the coming days.
  14. Mate I had trouble at first but realised that when I cut and pasted the code there was a space at the end of the code that their website didnโ€™t like. when you redeem the code just make sure to delete the space at the end of it if itโ€™s there. I hope that makes sense.

    Dr the mistake you made was in interpreting your info, nothing is ever 100% until an official announcement surfaces. Doubling down, day after day, even when there was a rising tide of information contradicting yours was silly. I'm happy for the info, keep posting, chin up and go Dees!
