#NTFL - Ex-Sydney and North Melbourne midfielder Ryan Clarke had 36 disposals and former Essendon listed player Anthony Munkara booted three goals in Waratah’s win over Tiwi Bombers on the weekend. The Warriors 16.14 (110) defeated the Bombers 9.6 (60) at TIO Stadium. 📷 - AFLNT

#NTFL - Great to have AFL players Kysaiah Pickett and Quinton Narkle join the Darwin Buffaloes at training tonight. The pair looked sharp with their skills and did some extra running after the session. Both Kozzy and Quinton have been in the Top End for a couple of weeks now.

#NTFL - St Marys superstar Dylan Landt has recorded 56 disposals against the Tiwi Bombers. His performance smashes the all-time record for the most disposals in an NTFL game. Landt also had 13 clearances, 14 inside-50s and kicked two goals in the win over the Bombers. 📷 - AFLNT

The CAFL rep team belted an undermanned St Marys by 121 points in Alice Springs over the weekend. There were calls post-match for the CAFL to play an NTFL rep team. However, with all due respect, I fear that the Central Australians would be very uncompetitive in that contest.

Former St Marys player Justin Van Unen booted his 1000th career goal on the weekend. Van Unen was a terrific footballer at his best, dominating various leagues across Victoria over the past decade and booting 72 goals from 13 games while playing in the NTFL in 2013/14.

MARLION PICKETT: Marlion Pickett – who stands at 184cm – has been spending extended periods in the ruck for the Tiwi Bombers. A fortnight ago against PINT, the dual Richmond premiership player recorded 15 HIT-OUTS, to go along with his 20 disposals at 95% efficiency. 📸 – AFLNT

HIND: Former Essendon player Nick Hind registered 20 disposals in his NTFL debut for Palmerston last Friday night. The Magpies recorded a 32-point loss to Wanderers at Cazalys Arena. 📸 – AFLNT

PARFITT: Former Geelong midfielder Brandan Parfitt had a strong return for his junior club Nightcliff on the weekend. He gathered 31 disposals – including 15 contested – and seven clearances in the Tigers’ 17.14 (116) to 7.13 (55) win over the Tiwi Bombers. 📷 – AFLNT

EX-PORT ADELAIDE DEFENDER NAMED FOR CROCS: Former Port Adelaide defender Tom Clurey has been named in an extended squad for Southern Districts this weekend. Clurey played 124 for the Power across over a decade at the elite level. 📷 - AFL

BROCK: Another Territorian will enter the AFL ranks with Sandy Brock set to make his debut for West Coast this weekend. Brock joined the Eagles at the end of last year after a couple of seasons with the Gold Coast.

ABALA: Darwin Buffaloes junior Cade Abala could be poised for a breakout WAFL season with Subiaco after some impressive form across the pre-season. Playing for the Lions’ reserves, Abala has kicked eight goals from three pre-season games this year. 📷 – AFLNT

MENSCH: Baxter Mensch is heading back to Palmerston. The 25 year-old midfielder, fresh from a McLeod Medal in the Sunraysia FL, previously played with the Magpies before his Buffaloes stint. An absolute ball-magnet. #NTFL

JOHNSTON DELISTED: Territorian Lloyd Johnston has been informed by the Gold Coast that he will not be offered a contract for 2026. He spent three seasons on the Suns’ list for nine appearances at AFL level. That’s a shame – he has been in strong form at VFL level. 📷 – AFL

PERIS: Ex-AFL player Jack Peris is heading home to his junior club Nightcliff this NTFL season. The 21-year-old spent two years on St Kilda’s list and played one game in 2023. Super-quick with great defensive pressure, he will be a strong addition for the Tigers. #NTFL 📷 – AFL
