Its gonna be interesting how the surface at Football Park (mararra for the interstaters) will hold up after they moved the games for next week


I wonder if Darwin's chances on hosting an Ansett Cup match are gone.. i hope not :(

no predictions this week b.b?

Darwin
Districts
Palmerston

I hope we at least get one AFL game even if its a NT side vs. AFL team..

Whats happening exactly with the ground? It looks as if it is turning into a Colonial :p

And whatdya think is going to happen with the Aboriginal All Star game. It was scheduled for Australia Day, no?
 
The worry is that those are the games
that the ntfl relies on for a good
percentage of its revenue.

I walked along the grandstand wing last
week just to see how bad it was (didn't
get out to the centre) it was like a mudflat with
turf on top. Apparently the middle of the ground
is rock hard.

needs a big fix.

Whens the money going to start flowing from
the afl to fix this and the other ground problems?

If the NTFL loses the pre season /australia day
game then it will be in big trouble.

Is it Moulden or Driver thats built on solid rock?(???)

One of them has a mad dog on every corner.

I might of defamed Gray by accident. the suburb I drove
though was just up the road from Fairway Waters -
little dogbox designer houses and a senseless series
of winding streets that are to narrow for two cars to pass
why the hell would come to the N.T to live like that?

Darwin play Waratahs today

Never expected to win,Wanderers were
competitive (sort of) in most areas of the game
till half time after which they appeared to
give up completely.

Reality was the wanderers defence particuarly
the along their half back line that is responsible
for the score line.

Palmerston were bringing the ball down
to th 50m arch and taking shots with absolutely
no pressure applied by the def.

After the break lack of fitness really took its
toll on the eagles as the ball rarely made
it past the half way line.

A memorable run from the eagles forward line 80 meters
for a goal to the Magpies Dallas Cook during the 1st Q
told the story
of the day.

Darwin------1.5----4.4-------7.5--------14.8(98)

Not very good fellas

Yes. The all time highest score at Footy
Park- Marrara now belongs Palmerston.

Darwin were terrible.

The Hot dogs ($2.50) were terrible.

V.Pautijimi ,a tiwi islander, kicked 7 for Waratahs
(I can't remember any of them)

I found the half time arguement between 2 Buffs support
staff more interesting than anything that happened on the
field. :p

North Darwin formed 1972 (as "The Internationals")
Made up of mainly soccer players they were
very very very bad for the first 5 or so years.

The turning point was when they brought in a
lot of southern recruits (Danny Jenkins
Alan Smith Peter Belford Peter Munro etc) were
a top team from 1977 to 1981 in both senior grades.

N.D played in the 1980 grand final very poorly (lost by
40 points in the rain v buffalos) 1981 slaughtered
wanderers for 3 quarters then went to sleep in the
last - still won.

The day after the 1981 grand final all of their
southern recruits left on a plane and never came back.

This factor (as well as a nightclub they ran at Nightcliff)
put them in serious difficulties and they were basically abismal
from 1982 to 1994ish when they moved to Palmerston
(changing there name to Palmerston).
It was basically this or fold.

After moving to Palmerston they brought in Bully Abala as coach
then Russell Jeffery (Micheal mclean was assistant?)
leading to a permership last year. Jock Mcleod
(andrews brother) as well as Mark West are
currently playing with them.

I'm happy to search for any info you need
on the NTFL/CAFL or what ever.

Also the Palmerston football club of the 1930s
was totally unrelated to the current Palmerston Magpies.

I seem to remember a Katherine team in the 1980s
and a fire- fighters team in the 1960s
(might have only been B grade though).

An NTFA league (From this year called "top end australian football association")
has been running since the 1980s.
This was meant to be the NT's version of the VFA
Teams that have competed this year in the a grade
include Banks, Tracey Village, Nt University, pints, and a
palmerston magpie team.
 
Round 4 preview

Saturday
St Marys v Palmerston (the gardens)
Played at gardens oval the former home of the NTFL
as officals desperately try to repair Football Park's surface.

This should be a relatively easy afternoon for Palmerston
the regining premiers ,who along with Waratahs,are
looking the form team of the competition.St Marys
aging champions should be no match for the Magpies
forwards. St Marys D.Nolan returns
Palmerston loose the Davey Brothers

Wanderers v Stn districts (Freds Pass)

Wanderers are no match for any body at the moment
Freds pass oval is Sth Districts home ground in the
heart of the rural area.


Sunday game
Nightcliff v Waratahs( nightcliff Oval)
Nightcliff is a large sea side suburb about 7km to
the north of the city centre. Boasts a large shopping
centre a kentucky fried ,and a jetty.

Probably the match of the round
Nightcliff boast the biggest and perhaps
the fittest forward pack in the competition.
but haven't been tested against the tops sides
yet. I'm predicting they will scape in but it will be close.

The H/f line for the Tigers could be calling the shots
Norm Murphy B Mcmaster Mark Mclean

Other key tigers player include Brant Chambers (ff)
and Bill Fenney.

Waratahs Ryan Abett has gone to try his luck with Geelong.
Braun Bush returns for Tahs.

Palmerston Magpies by 15p
Stn Districts Crocs by 60 to 70p
Nightcliff Tigers by 15p
