The following is a press release from the Tiwi Bombers in the leadup to tomorrow's NTFL Grand Final. This will be of interest to many including Melbourne supporters as it involves a recent past player.

PRESS RELEASE Re: Tiwi Bombers Captain for Grand Final Former AFL footballer Austin Wonaeamirri will Captain the Tiwi Bombers in the TIO Grand Final against his original NTFL club St Marys. The 24 year old played 43 AFL matches for the Melbourne Demons before returning to the Tiwi Islands in 2011. He will toss the coin in the absence of suspended leader Shane Tipuamantimirri. Wonaeamirri was one of 3 joint Vice-Captains under Tipuamantimirri along with Rupert Pupangamirri and Ross Tungatalum who will remain in their roles as part of the official onfield leadership group. He has played 32 games for the Tiwi Bombers and 71 NTFL matches in total in a career beginning as a 16 year old in season 2004/05. He has kicked 22 goals for the Club and has a career total of 41. Coach Leigh Crossman said that whilst Wonaeamirri will be the formal leader for the TIO Grand Final the team will share the leadership responsibilities left by his suspended captain across several well credentialled players including former Club Captains Simon Munkara and Edward Darcy. “Both myself and the players recognize one current individual player cannot replace the leadership style of our suspended Captain but with the experience and team spirit amongst the 22 who take the field I expect that we can at least partly compensate by sharing the responsibility” he said. Crossman added that the team understands that Shane Tipuamantimirri will be with them onfield in spirit.
