Expansion 12 AFL listed Northern Territiorians

[Professor Knowall]

Following on from the NSW, Qld and Tasmanian AFL player threads, here's the one for the Northern Territory for those interested. Interestingly, this is a very large reduction from the 28 I listed 10 years ago back, which indicates that Matt Rendell was only telling the truth some years back for which he was sacked (unless I've somehow missed a whole lot). Unfortunately we no longer have enough for a team or even a starting 18. It remains to be seen if the new exclusive zone academies up there will make a difference in the future. As usual, please let me know of any errors or omissions -

Sensational effort Prof, between you & The Wookie we are very well served, cheers.

NT only has the population of Geelong or Hobart, so its not a terrible effort despite the dramatic drop.

Only a small representation but certainly filled with talent
