i agree the sanfl is stronger then most people think!

young kids like Bryce Gibbs played against grown men in the SANFL, Kruezer and Cotchin have been playing against other kids

 

I like what I see in the video and the most exciting part is that he will be training professionally with us. With that level of nurturing and his determination I hope that he will be the next Davey!

 
There are a few Tiwi Islanders I would love to see in the red and blue (none more so than Ephram Tipungwuti) but know they would never adapt to the riggers of AFL. I am not nearly as concerened about Aussie in this regard.

I'd love to see Ephram play full-forward for the Demons. He is without a doubt the Jason Dunstall of Northern Territory footy. They said the same things about Dunstall and Lockett. If they rejected those guys, the AFL woud be without the tonne a year full-forwards they became famous for. Sadly they do these days and the competition is worse off for it. While Dean Rioli, another Tiwi, was often the butt of weight jokes, he was truly a champion player. You shouldn't need a figure like Anthony Koutoufides just to succeed at the top level. Too much AFL emphasis these days is on height and athleticism rather than footy smarts and ability.

What is truly inspiring is that Aussie is not even the best Tiwi player out there.

Sure, he is one of the best 18 year old Tiwis, but there is some serious talent up there.

Problem for the recruiters is that it is difficult to determine most of their ages. The playing sheets don't mention their DOB. Aussie had a lot of exposure simply because he was part of the NT Under 18s team. But before now there hasn't really been a traditional pathway for these kids. I'm sure there are plenty of guys who could easily fit into AFL rookie lists.

I'd encourage anyone who hasn't to visit Bathurst Island in March to see the TIFL Grand Final. It is an experience you'll never forget.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
