Notable events[edit]

  • During the fourth quarter of Darwin's round 18 match against Southern Districts, Darwin player Thomas Baulch took a sip from a beer handed to him on-field by a spectator.[3] Video of the moment went viral, with the NTFL suspending Baulch for two weeks, ordering him to remove the video from his social media accounts and write a letter of apology to AFL Northern Territory.[4]
