Austin Wonaeamirri is still running around in the NTFL for the Tiwi Bombers and has been named to play on a half back flank in today’s season opener against Wanderers at TIO Stadium, Darwin. The team:-

B: 23. Kim Kantilla – 24. Jake Best – 7. Ross Tungatalum
HB: 39. Austin Wonaeamirri – 3. Dion Munkara – 30. Aaron Daniels
? 21. Tom Schneider – 16. Harmit Singh – 6. Patrick Heenan
HF: 11. Travis Tambling – 48. Harley Puruntatameri – 40. Sylvani Babui
F: 18. Michael Dunn – 2. Jason Puruntatameri – 20. Roy Farmer
R: 5. Simon Munkara – 36. Jack Munkara – 43. Albert Tipungwuti
INT: 37. Keiran Apuatimi – 27. Pio Puautjimi – 26. Peter Apuatimi – 17. Adam Tipungwuti – 4. Alastair Darcy – 46. Ben Ullungura – 1. Jeffrey Puruntatameri – 32. Joseph Burke – 47. Juan Orsto – 12. Norman Pangiraminni – 19. Michael Wilson – 29. James Warlipinni

I love the way that some of those player’s names just roll off the tongue.

    There's a few familiar surnames in that team. Hopefully we get a few games on NITV over the summer so I can tune in

    In April we stopped in Halls Creek.  It was amazing to see how many kids you could get on a footy oval for a training run in 37 degrees!

    Love love love outback footy

    The Team Manager would certainly earn his keep filling out their team sheet !

    Is Jake Best named at full back the same Jake Best that played for Casey a few years ago that was supposed to be a rookie list chance? Funny how players move around sometimes; Tiwi Islands seems to be a long way to go to get a kick.

    Yep. He and a couple of others fresh from winning the EFL Divvy 1 flag with Vermont (including their coach) are named in the Tiwi team

    The Jake Best who I remember playing for Casey was a small forward. If he’s been picked at full back then I guess they don’t have too many key position size players up there on the Tiwi Islands?

    They might take the Casey approach to naming players in position. Jake Best kicked 2 goals in that game. He has been through more clubs than Jack Nicklaus.

    Brief interview with him after his first game last season. There are a lot of familiar names in that comp. Including an A. Davey wearing #36 at Palmerston

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
