COME Sunday afternoon, the Demons will be running onto TIO Traeger Park for the eighth time in their history.

And after missing out on visiting the Northern Territory in 2021 due to COVID-19, they will be itching to play in front of the locals again.

Melbourne’s partnership with the NT began in 2010 when it ventured to Darwin and played 10 games across the next decade.

The club then made Alice Springs its home, hosting seven games there since 2014.

While the Dees lost their first three appearances in Central Australia - all at the hands of the Power - their recent form has been strong, claiming three of the past four games.

The most recent match at the venue took place during the 2020 hub, with the Demons claiming a thrilling three-point victory over the Saints.

Ahead of the next chapter in Alice history, and a fourth battle with Port Adelaide, recap the club’s past results below.
