If you're living around Marrara and your parents don't wish to drive you to training you have a choice of either St Marys, Wanderers or Darwin as all of these clubs basically train in the same area.
This year Saints fielded junior teams from under 13s to under 18s with the exception of under 15s which was surprising.
Wanderers only field Under 14s, 16, and 18s.
Both teams have their advantages and disadvantages.

are the clubs hard to get into 2, or wud ur average footballer be able to play for one of the NTFL clubs?
under 16s, 18s type of age group that is.
Depending on what you would call the average footballer but yes probably. Junior grades have a lot of ordinary footballers.
I would go to Saints. They were my old club and have a great history and success rate. Facilities are improving and are generally a pretty good club, except for some things.

Of Course none of this matters if you are going to Nightcliff, Sanderson, CSC, MCS, Dripstone, O'Laughlin, Kormilda etc none of which are even remotely close to Gardens Oval.
Saints and Nightcliff also have good facilities and a closer to home and possibly school and also have good jnr programs.
I couldn't recommend Darwin or Wanderers.
Have a look at http://ntfl.aflnt.com.au/?s=clubs and look thru the various clubs there.

What a stupid comment!
The reason why people dont play with these clubs is because people like you give them the bad name!
Go and have a look down training yourself and you will see 2 normal clubs playing football!

pretty sure darwin and wanderers are out of the question
Darwin and Wanderers are battlers for sure but ask anyone who has played there and they will tell you you get welcomed in and looked after. Thats why we have recruits that return year after year. Would you rather play for the best team or help a struggling team?
Every club has a ******** or two though!
Dont listen to the thug talk cause i could name one in every club!
