I'm being moved to Darwin in November for work, and couldn't help but notice that the NTFL is actually played during the wet season up there and hence starts next weekend!

So I'm looking for a team to follow. Any ideas? At the moment I'm thinking the Eagles or the Buffaloes (there are no Demons)?

Also, could anyone give me an idea on the league and it's past winners, some good players, etc?

Thanks ;)

Haha unfortunately I'm pretty petty and therefore a bit reluctant to follow the Bombers.. or the Magpies..

We did recruit Matty Whelan from the Buffaloes, and they also won a Premiership in 1964. Luckily it wasn't their last :P

I'd say go for the Tahs. But I'm biased, played for them as a Junior.

Got to get used to the Swans colours, but their Home ground is close to the City, so saves you driving out to the Northern Suburbs / Palmerston for your home games. Having said that you won't be driving, all you do up North is drink beer.

Haven't won since 99/00 so we are due, but then again so are the Demons!

The Saints (Green and Yellow) have won the most premierships and have the biggest following going around in Darwin. Across the oval from them are the Wanderers (Blue and Yellow) and they are the less successful brother of the Saints. The Buffs are ( Light Blue and Dark Blue) are a nothing team really, only real plus is Wheals, plus their sports bar is a slum, no one wants that. The Tahs (White and Red) have the best club rooms and a great ground down near the shore front to get the much needed fresh breeze in the wet season. The Magpies (Black and White of course) are from Palmeston, enough said, although the Davey's did play there. Tiwi Bombers (Black and Red) are the most entertaining bunch to watch just because of their flare.

So take your pick really, i lived there for 12 years and didn't really follow anyone, just great entertainment. Get Foxtel/Austar and just watch the Dees with the Air-Conditioner on, best way to spend your weekend, GO DEES!

The saints are the collingwood of the NTFL, stay away!

Some demons connections - whelan and Ryan ayers both from buffs...though i think Ryan now has some link with the tahs. Davey - Palmerston. Aussie - tiwi/saints. motlop - wanderes. Jurrah played for nightcliff so almost all have represented.

And I don't think the buffs are a nothing club, they won it only a couple of years back and have produced some great AFL talent Including our own matty whelan and Andrew mcleod.

Loving the idea of Foxtel, but also want to get involved with the local footy.. just in case I'm in Darwin for longer than expected (who knows, we might actually like it up there!).

Still thinking about the Buffs, but like the idea of where the Tahs play. Maybe I'll see what happens in the first round...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
