Darwin v Wanderers
Should be good practice for the boys in Double blue.
Darwin Struggled in the wet last week then threw the
game away with an undisciplined final quarter.
If they loose this one then the season is over.

Palmerston v Nightcliff
Palmerston have won 9 in a row
The opposition seems to be able to stick with them
for about 2 quarters then falls away.
Can see any different happening here.

Waratahs vSDistricts
Waratahs Dave O'Sullivan and
P.Callaghan have returned to Victoria
Could be Districts chance to pull off an upset

[eastaugh36]

killer, do you know of a phil bennett who is from NT and is playing down in the SANFL this season. I think he is around 18 years old.

 

[killer]

No whose he playing for?
Not much SANFL being reported at
the moment (up here).

Any one got any news on Trent Hentschel

Some SM people were trying to start a
rumor that Rap Clarke was going to
play for Geelong on Saturday.(ha ha ha)

Darwin played well enought to win ,but,
we're far from impressive against a Wanderers
side which has achieved only one victory this
season.
Time and again the Darwin gave away possession
and control of the play to Wanderers, to an extent
to which at time had the Eagles bemused.

Darwin has a number of key players down on form
Best for Darwin was Richard Russell at f/forward
M.Ahmat in the centre.


Southern Districts look a shadow of their previous (seasons)
selves. Despite the efforts of Croc veterans Cockatoo, Rusca, Harvy
Waratahs were a pace or two in front of the Crocadiles for the whole
game.
Along with Waratahs usual leading class of Jim Bury Mcgough
Singh and Smith, Tom Logan (Alice Springs player in his first season)
was very impressive winning a lot of possession
against strong opposition.

Palmerston? more of the same really. They've got
20 players who would walk into any of the other
sides.

Interesting acticle in the Football Insight on

Apparently she's only missed one game in the
entire history of the club (1990 her house burnt
down).
Also in the same publication:
NTFL under 16s and Tiwi youth team to play a
visiting Scotch College team on the 29th of March

Shannon Masters named as rising star for last week
"The mobile Left footer represented Australia U 17
againt Ireland in 2001as one of 2 territorians in the year
2000/2001 AIS/AFL academy squad after winning the
Territory Thunder best and fairest U 16 Mcadam Medal
in 2000"

Any way Alwyn Davey to win the Nickols medal
and either Jarrod Brennan or Daniel Hill for best first year.

Thought he might have been a chance to get drafted or placed on a rookie list. Do you know if he is still eligible for NT u/18 champs this year?

Turned 18 at the beginning of February.
Might have a better chance of being drafted
if he does a year in adelaide - thats usually the
way.

NTFL Round 20

Darwin v Southern Districts
SDistricts rocked the football world
this by giving Great James Sing the
"Don't come monday". Apparently
theres a lot of dissention at Clampett land.
with the coach at the centre of it.

Nightcliff v StMarys
Nightcliff has brought in some ring in from
Queensland called Ben Harris.

Waratahs v Wanderers
Wanderers showed some spark last
week but should be no match for the team
running second. Phil Smith will be missing
with a groin strain. apparently Tom Logan
(midfielder for Waratahs) plays in the juniors
for Glenelg.

Prediction
Darwin
StMarys
Waratahs

one - but you never know.....

Wanderers starting to play good footy at the wrong end
of the season.

The big news of this week:

Buffaloes captain Micheal Williams has been banned
from Football Park for 3 years for an incident involving
Robbie Muir a security guard and an off duty P.O
2 weeks back

Channel 7 to broadcast the NTFL grand final throughout the
Territory (and into parts of Tasmania if you believe the local paper)
after the ABC gave preference to the Rugby Union G.F.

Hopefully if the games any good they might put it on C7.

Nightcliff.......6.5......13.6........23.14........27.24 (186)
Wanderers ...0.0......3.1...........3.2............3.3(21)

Hooker 6 for Nightcliff
One would have had to been a supreme optimist to
believe that Wanderers could be competitive here.

The game was played in the heat of the day (2 to 4)
and Nightcliff looked very tired at the end of it -
could they be affected next week (?).

Wanderers seem to be alot more affective with the possession
they've been getting the last couple of weeks. (as appossed
to what they were doing previously - blindly kicking the ball away at
the first chance they get)The eagles let loose with a chain
of hand balls out of the back line in the final quarter (which
might not seem odd to you lot, but, very much so for an
NTFL game where theres rarely 2 handballs in the
whole game.)




St Marys ....5.4....9.7....12.7....15.11(101)
Darwin.........1.6....2.8.....6.10....9.15(69)

D Nolan 4, R Clarke Nugget 3 (for Saints)
Munkara 3 (darwin)

Playing for a spot in the finals, Darwin had the best of
the early possesion but couldn't convert into goals
StMarys had no problems putting 5 on the board before
Buffaloes registered on the siren.
Basically they kept this lead throughout the game. lot of
rough-house tactics by Saints were a feature thoughout.

The umpiring was again poor, not that would have changed
the result, but it definately prevented an even contest.

Buffaloes On baller Billas broke his leg in a contest
during the second half.
lying on the ground near the boundry line they throw the
ball in (lucky the guy wasn't trampled ). They then pick
him up in a stretcher and move him over the boudary
to wait for a Doctor who never arrives (there was not
doctor)

Anyway the game marked the end of the Buffaloes season.
They tried hard but it just wasn't there day.

I wont be able to go to the semis tomorrow, although i'd love to see the sudden death final between saints and nightcliff... Pity the buffs didnt make the finals.

 

[BomberBoy]

It'll be a a saints win, and saints will meet palmerston in the grand final, for another palmerston grand final win.

Although i hope the saitns will contain them, because i hate palmerston winning full stop

 

[Mobbs]

I'd love to see Nightcliff go through, though from what killer has sent me in the way of history, I think the odds might be against them.

 

[BomberBoy]

I was working at Darwin Golf Club, which is fairly close to the Football Park, Marrara, and it sounded like a good crowd in which is always good to see for local footy. Good chants started up, and evertime i went outside to get some fresh air i could hear a nightcliff chant

Still wonder who won.. ill see tomorrow

Did you go to the game killer?

No I didn't go I listened on the radio
(crappy Abc coverage )

Palmerston v Waratahs

Palmerston.....5.2.......8.5........13.7.........17.9(111)
Waratahs.......3.1......10.1.......14.5..........17.5(107)


Teams were named with the following players:
Palmerston
B R. Copley - Corey Ward - Alwln Davey
HB Jerry Frank - W Green - B Forsyth
C Dallas Cook - J Mcleod - Salem Hassen
HF Ed Darcy - S Keegan - Aaron Davey
F Matt Tyrell - Peter Shepherd - D Grant

C T Logan - C Williams - K Baxter
HF J Bury - B Singh - R Purntatameri
F G Mungatopi - P Smith - S Tipiloura
Int Davis - M Bury - V Puatijimi - R May

Waratahs were obviously planning for this game for a
while. Phil Smith started at Half back and staying there
for much of the game, with Valantine Puajimmi reclaiming
the role of key forward for Waratahs.

Depite this Palmerston got the early lead with the first 4
goals of the game and looked in a dominate position early
with Kunoth Addinsall and Tyrell contributers. Dave
Sullivan (returning from Victoria) on Peter Shepherd (FF)
was effective but Palmerstons answer was to let him
lead out a lot which opened the forward line up for the
above.

Waratahs game plan with the tall timber in the back line
(Smith Singh) feeding the ball down the middle of
the ground to there all Tiwi forward line ( the mobile
Mungatopi Tipaloura and Puajimmi) proves that there
are some smart cookies within the Waratahs brains trust,
In the middle part of the game Tahs manged to wrestle
this dog fight right up to the top D of the competition.

Palmerston however regained the lead in late in the third,
again proving that they are 3 or 4 players better that any
other side in the competition.


Waratahs 10 points down in last quarter had a chance
of winning with a late goal to Baj Singh, then a shot
on goal from Bury (out of bounds). Finally on the last
bell Puatijimmi marked inside the 50, only to see his kick
fall shot of the goals - Magpies by 4 points and straight
into the Grand Final.

Very good effort from Waratahs when you consider they
had 4 key players returning this week ( Bush Withers
Smith and Sullivan).

Palm Shepherd 5 Darcy 4 Bailey Addinsall 2 Kurnoth

Waratahs Puatijimmi 7 Bury Singh Mungatopi 2 Bush

[BomberBoy]

Great news about Fox Footy.

Especially since it opens up the game to all of Australia now, and will let the boys achieve higher in order to play with the big boys down south.

Also heard that all of next season will be on Fox Footy, to be hosted by Bruce McAvaney and the AFLNT Development Officer. Should be good, although I'll miss Charlie King

 

[Mobbs]

Woohoo!

Give 'em the works!

Hey killer, why do you abbreviate 'preliminary' to 'pel'?

 

[raboyle]

Well it is good to see that the NT footy get some exposure in the 2002/2003 season on TV.

Maybe they can get a website too.
