Melville beat Wanderers Palmerston and St Marys

Most of the NTFL sides were trialing their B graders

I Reckon there was a bout 6 or 7 teams
calling themselves the Eagles.

[ramjet]

NTFL Round 1 12/10/02 13/10/02

The first round of the Darwin football competition
(NTFL) will be run over the weekend.

This year promises to be closer than recent
seasons

Wanderers managed a colts premiership last
year and would be looking to bring those players though
the seniors

StDisticts will be led from the front by on field coach
Jason Kookatoo and Nicholls medalist Bruce jarmyn
along with a host of great junior players (Mullins Tambling
Brennan)


Darwin will start their first season under former WCE Chris
Lewis

Stmarys had a number of good first year players last season
( Clarke Hill etc) and look like genuine contenders for the first
time in yonks.

Waratahs should be Waratahs

Nightcliff is the side with the most to play for after an ordinary
G.final
performance

Palmerston will be looking for their 3rd flag in a row.


Games this weekend

Waratahs V Stmarys (mid day at Gardens)

ezra bray returns to st marys
Saints to win.
35 degrees in Darwin
will be too hot for Tahs

Palmerston V Nightcliff (Afternoon at Gardens)

Lot of players missing from both teams.
Nightcliff appears to be missing half their side
from L/year (??)

In the positive for the Tigers Jason Burgoyne
seems to have returned. ( won the players sprint
at the carnival)

Nightcliff should still have enough jumpers
on the field to win this.


Stn Districts V Buffaloes (Sunday Freds Pass)
Game was scheduled for Football Park
but at the moment F/P resembles a Martian landscape.

S.districts did show some spark in the Carnival
Buffaloes should be too strong on the day

Round 2 NTFL/AFL

Darwin Buffaloes V Waratahs (Midday Saturday Gardens Oval)
Waratahs Coach Micheal Athanasou switched
from Buffs in the off season.
Based on last weeks form buffaloes should win this easily.


Wanderers v Palmerston (Afternoon Gardens Oval)

James Sing Ex Darwin StMarys and SDistricts
makes his first appearance for Wanderers. A useful
player on his day Sing played under Mark Motop
during the Crocs Premiership years. Should be the spark
they need this year, they could take a few weeks to get
going though.
Palmerston beat the Eagles by 240 points in a coresponding game
last year.

Palmerston by about 8-9 goals

Nightcliff v Southern Districts (Sunday at Nightcliff)
With no Hooker Bros Bahr Kelly or Leigh Brown
Nightcliff will be pushing their car up a steep
hill on Sunday.
hopefully they'll appear out of the woodwork

there after waratahs slammed on 7 goals to nothing
for the first quarter. Buffaloes wern't putting up a contest
weren't chasing or tackling.

Buffs revived themselves for the last 3 quarters
but weren't able to eat into Waratahs 1 quarter lead.

Robbie Ah Mat was reported and sent off
during the 2nd quarter

Simon Munkara returned but ended up injuring
himself during the 3 stanza.


Waratahs had a T.I boy (No.28 or 29) in the
center who was unbeaten all day.

[timelord]

Killer are you hearing anything from the other comps up north? I'm interested in the lot!

Top End (the old NTFA), Tiwi, Maningrida Communities, Katherine and Gove.

[Mobbenfuhrer]

Phil I think Gove only finished a few weeks ago ... are you sure its not a winter season for that league?

(I could be wrong)

[timelord]

Last I heard Gove played their grand final in December.

[Mobbenfuhrer]

Ok then I'm probably wrong :)

[killer]

Gove finished a month ago (details on Footypedia)

Tiwi started last weekend

Topend/NTFA started last weekend

Maningrida started in April so
would be finished by now.

Katherine finished 3-4 months back don't
think they start again till January.

[Dogwatcher]

Has Corey Ward started playing for Palmerston as yet?
He comes from down my way and was rumoured to be playing for my club this season, but didn't.
A very good player, who, I think, was named at full back in the NT's team of the year last season.

[killer]

No haven't seen him

- great fullback anyway.

Think he was with Glenelg at one stage.

[Dogwatcher]

Yes he was at glenelg.
Played reserves but never looked like getting a shot in the league side.
Spent the winter at Donald in south west Victoria, they won a flag too.
He has played in eight premierships - three with Loxton North A grade, one each Donald and Palmerston and two with Wunkar colts - not sure where the eighth one was gained.
Has done well to come back from broken legs - in 1997/1998.
One was playing football and then after that was recoverd he broke the other in some sort of vehicle accident.
A very highly respected player here.

[Mobbenfuhrer]

Donald is in mid-west Vic, 25k north of where I grew up :)

Nearby Lake Buloke is duckhunter heaven.

Hence the town welcome sign : Welcome to Donald, Duck country.

Description: Donald is a small rural community of approximately 1700 people. It is centrally situated to larger shopping centres: Horsham 100kms, Bendigo 150kms, Ballarat 200kms. It is a friendly, progressive town and many initiatives have been offered to expand industry and employment in the town. The economy still centres around the cropping and grazing industries. Donald has many lakes surrounding the township and is well known as 'Donald Duck Country'. During Duck Season, many tourists visit the town. Donald has a wide variety of Sporting and Cultural facilities, despite being isolated from specialised services. The Donald people are working very hard to maintain its support services - The Donald Hospital and Community groups eg. Lions Club, Apex Club and St Vincent de Paul, who play an active role in the community. The people of Donald are supportive, friendly and sociable. The parishioners of St. Mary's Parish are closely involved with both the Church and the School and are very generous in their support.

[Dogwatcher]

I should've known that you would have the historical and social information right at your fingertips Mob. Great work.

Keep us up to date with the TEAFL and Tiwi! Especially the ladder and the finals!

NTFL round 5
9/10 November

---------

StMarys V Wanderers
Wanderers though no where near as hopeless
as last season still haven't been able to
put it together for a win.

Their better players
Probably the full back Dempsey (Cause he sees a
lot of the ball) James Sing (good for 3-4 goals but
out this week),Miskin and Crowd fav Mishai Perry

The Eagles line up against Saints, Buffaloes,
and Nightcliff over the next couple of weeks,
so, lifes not going to get easier for them.

The Saints with the Brays Willi Rioli, Jnr Rioli
Jnr JNR Rioli,and, 3 or 4 grizzled veterens looking
for there spots back....would you want to play them?

I give Saints a 7 goal start.
-------

Nightcliff v Darwin


Darwin are 2/4 and in 3rd spot despite
having only having played 1 bad quarter
of Football.

Darwin have uncovered some great young
players in Harold Calma (backline) and Robert Roman
(centre) and with the return of Veterens Wayne
Worden and P.Reid this year - looks like the best
Buffaloe team since the last great buffaloe team...

Nightcliffs forward Tim Inkster been leading all of the
(Best player) polls. In his last game
opposition tried to flatten him.

Match of Round - Darwin by 2 goals

----------
Waratahs V Palmerston Magpies (Sunday)
The "new look" Waratahs have had 6 players
at the tribunal since the start of the season.
should be capable of pushing Palmerston for a
quarter or 2

Should be a dolly good game
Palmerston Magpies by 8-9 goals
