A Northern Territory club could join the AFL within a decade and play at a multi-purpose 20,000-capacity stadium in Darwin, NT powerbrokers say. AFL greats Andrew McLeod and Nathan Buckley, and former AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou, have joined a NT taskforce examining the feasibility of an AFL club in the territory. The taskforce on Thursday released a strategic business case estimating an AFL club would create 260 jobs and provide annual economic benefit of $116 million to the territory.

“An AFL club in the NT will need to look to government at both a territory and federal level to provide financial support for operational requirements of the club and for the development of the required stadium infrastructure,” the business case stated. “This will ensure a sustainable financial model is secured for the club.” The business case, prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers, detailed several possibilities for a NT club.
