There is going to be some great footy in Darwin this weekend. The fantastic NT Thunder will be playing Sydney Uni at TIO Stadium. Sydney University, eighth on the ladder, have heard about how good the NT Thunder are so they have reportedly put together a team of talent for Saturday night's game which includes some ex-AFL players: Matt O'Dwyer, who played seven senior games for Sydney Swans; Ryan Bradazon, who also played for the Sydney Swans; Lewis Fasolo, who spent some time on Fremantle's list; Will Sierakowski, who played for North Melbourne before going to Hawthorn; and Nick Winmar, who played for St Kilda.

NT Thunder stars Cam Ilett, Chris Dunne, Shaq McKenzie and Shannon Rioli will put on a good show. They will take on these boys. Any Territory Thunder fan will tell you that our boys are equally talented, probably even more talented. Sydney Uni will have their work cut out for them. I encourage all people in Darwin and Palmerston to get along to the TIO Stadium, support our Territory Thunder and show everybody that Territory Thunder are the ones with the talent and are going to be top of the ladder.
