More 'product' to sell to Paramount as well?
Wonder if there is a Darwin team bidding to join the new OFC Professional League?
See in an article that Nix ALM pre season is to start July 1st. So alot of the squad will only get 1 month away from football, despite there yes being a 4-5 month off season.
A big chunk of the squad will disappear for the U20 WC from early September (maybe earlier), so I guess Chiefy wants a few good months of uninterrrupted pre season work through July & August.

Football Australia chief executive officer James Johnson said Darwin being the ongoing choice to host the Cup playoffs was part of a “broader strategy to give all corners of the country access to high-quality professional fixtures”.

Football Australia chief executive officer James Johnson said Darwin being the ongoing choice to host the Cup playoffs was part of a “broader strategy to give all corners of the country access to high-quality professional fixtures”.
“The response from the football community across the Northern Territory has been so pleasing over the last two years and reinforces the strength of football in bringing communities togetherm” Johnson said.
“The ability for these playoffs to connect the professional level of our game with the grassroots is an invaluable part of our broader work within the region.”
Football Northern Territory chief executive officer Jamie Montieth said the playoffs were a “wonderful opportunity for our community to engage with some of the best our national competition has to offer”.
