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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
