On the MFC site there is an interview with Neeld, stating that the club would like to spend more time in Darwin and maybe 'play one or two more games up here [in Darwin]'. I'm not sure if he means playing 2 or more games in Darwin each year, but if so I would be a little cautious about such a deal.
Considering the Richmond/Cairns fiasco, would you support more games to Darwin? We've been able to come away with the win both times so far, but the week after the boys look buggered halfway through and the tropical conditions are hard to prepare for and recover from.
There was also mention of a pre-season training camp in Darwin, which could work I think as it would be a tougher environment than Melbourne, although pre-season does coincide with cyclone season doesn't it?
Anyway, would you care too much if the club sold more home games to Darwin?
My 2c is the training camp sounds like a decent idea, but I am wary of us playing more than one game per year up there due to the difficult preparation required and the recovery.
