NTFL 2024-25 live stream: Watch Wanderers v PINT in Round 18

While it may have been a disappointing season overall, PINT have ended it on a high with a strong win over Wanderers on Saturday. Watch the REPLAY here.

PINT have capped off a disappointing campaign with a resounding victory against Wanderers to give an eye toward what their future may hold.

It was the battle of sixth and seventh on the ladder, but the side lower on the table was relentless with forward pressure overwhelming an ill-disciplined Muk Muks outfit.

Efforts from first season duo Cameron Wilson and Thomas Reeves, alongside busy body Alex McCarthy delivered the visitors a 15.15 (105) to 6.1 (37) win.

PINT were too consistent for Wanderers who after a solid opening period fell off the pace quickly against the side they beat with final minute goal earlier in the season.

A typical final regular season match that saw its fair share of melees, baffling decisions and a deflated ball, PINT were too consistent for Wanderers who after a solid opening period fell off the pace quickly.

Typical brilliance from Mitchel Taylor at the back saved face for Wanderers through the opening period and efforts from ruck Kailey Roberts alongside hardman Cody Leggett allowed Wanderers to stay in the contest till the first break.

Frustrated with the state of the match Wanderers resorted to brute play, laying a number of dodgy late shots and dangerous below the knee tackles that saw numerous melees break out.

Undeterred, the Greenants kept the pressure alive and blitzed the third, kicking five majors on the trot, further compounding the hurt for the Muk Muk’s.

The visitors should have finished the match with a far higher margin if not for some lacklustre finishing in the last.

Nevertheless the Greenants ended a tough season on a high, something the team’s best on Reeves said was a deserved result.

“I think we’re going to have a big night tonight that’ll keep us up till the morning after that performance,” he said.

“It was a physical game, they were hitting us pretty hard, but we kept to the plan and got the win.

“Cameron Wilson was great for us and so was Ben (Brett) up front but really that was a good team performance.

“This is also nice after we should’ve had a win last week so it’s nice to end an up and down season with a big one.”

PREVIEW

On paper Wanderers and PINT may not have much to play for heading into their final match of the NTFL season, but the last time these two met indicates it will be anything but dull.

The NT News and KommunityTV will stream every moment of this clash from 2pm on Saturday.

A goal from Jack Sinclair saw Wanderers pip PINT to the post to win a four-point thriller back in Round 8.

That match marked a turnaround for the Muk Muks allowing them momentum to threaten a potential finals position as they were at that stage.

Their fortunes have turned since the break and they’ve faded out of contention, meaning more than anything what they do need is a win.

Wanderers have struggled for goals and parity in the midfield against the big outfit, but will be looking to the likes of Riley Calvene and Mitchel Taylor to lock down the defence.

For PINT the focus will be going out strongly as well as it won’t be a second finals appearance for the side just in its third year of Premier League footy.

The Greenants came close to an incredible comeback last round against the Tiwi Bombers scoring six goals in a row to take control after a goalless first half.

That was not to be as the Bombers came back with equal intensity and PINT will have to use that same passion to ensure their last game is a winner.
