Reckon Brad Rowe would have worn 32.


Dennis Dunn from the All Stars was the bloke who had the NTFL season goalkicking record broken by Damian Cupido a couple of seasons ago, had a brother named Victor from memory. Another member of the all conquering St Marys machine.

At Sarah Oval, Mildura, on Sunday October 1, 1983, a collection of the best Aboriginal talent of this era took on the best players VFL club Richmond and the Sunraysia Football Association had to offer.

For several years after this (and a few before) the NTFL also played fixtures against AFL opposition around the Australia Day weekend. I know they played Freo in 1995 and I believe Essendon in 1986 at the old Gardens Oval but I can't think of who else they battled.

Re match report

I can't believe that you could get 14,000 people into gardens oval
thought it would max out at half that

didn't know that stuff about edelston i had put roilis not going to S.S down to richmond

certainly a big (biggest?) moment in territory sport and the positive vibe boosted essendons following here XXXfold
