During the 2012/13 season the AFLNT added the Alice Springs-based Central Australian Redtails to the Northern Territory Premier League, along with a further Darwin club in the Banks Bulldogs.
Each played four games as an experiment to assess whether or not the club would ultimately survive in the highest level of the NTFL competition.
The Central Australian team performed above expectations on the field, winning three of its four games, including a win against current flag favourites, St Mary’s.
The following press release from the AFLNT discusses the direction both the league and the club will now take to determine whether or not the Central Australian Redtails can be admitted to the NTFL Premier League.
