The Auckland Team are looking to get their name back on the trophy after quite a few years finishing runner up. Co-coaches Callum Mclean and Andriu Sucu are also playing, and this may lead to more direction on the park. Only two players are joining the team with Australian experience, Andrew Crighton and Matthew Hackett, the rest of the squad have been selected from the club scene. Five NZ U18 players have made the cut, and are looking to continue their good form following the recent series against the Victorian Amateurs in Wellington a fortnight ago. It looks like an exciting mix of new and experienced players, and they should push the defending champs to the line.

With Harry Peterson as the returning coach of the Cobra’s we have the most experienced coach in CAFL history steering a Canterbury team that has been brimming with confidence and competitiveness. Participating in the highly competitive and even CAFL league where each team has won, drawn or lost to each other in 8 rounds the desire to earn a Canterbury jersey was fiercely contested. The players to watch for are the powerful marking and rucking Captain Canterbury, Todd Andrews whose agility is awe inspiring. The return of Steven Howard, Andrew Howison, Justin Clark and Aaron Harris from across the ditch where they have been honing their AFL skills in the VAFA will display skills that spectators will marvel at. Young guns Phillip Shaw, Callum McKenzie, Sean Butler and the mad Mexican Josh RoblesMcGill have the youthfulness to go all day and display mature skills for their experience. We thank our Sponsors Stream Group NZ, Air Rescue Trust, NZCT, Mainland Foundation, Youth Town and Westminster Sporting Club GM Eddie Cropley for making it possible. Special mention to our tireless President Terry Anderson for organising the world to spin on its axis.

Otago are a young, developing team, with this being many players’ first game on a full sized field with a full squad, and the chance to rest and run off the bench. However, don’t let this relative lack of game experience trick you into thinking that Otago don’t know how to play! All winter long they have been training together as a team, developing skills, learning the lingo and giving it their all. Fearlessly led by experienced club captain Chris “Aussie” Bailey, with speed to burn out of the centre, a solid target at full forward, and a watertight back line, they are ready to announce the arrival of the mighty blue and gold to the NPC scene! The coaching staff have a strong pedigree, with both Warwick “Dingo” Kain and Michael “Modra” Bruhn tracing their lineage back to the Nightcliff Tigers in Darwin’s NTFL. Together they have selected players from varying codes, including basketball, soccer and Gaelic football, and have honed their skills through specialised and targeted coaching to transform them into Aussie Rules stars. Players to watch out for include: U20’s NZ representatives Ben Miller and Logan Toomer; Otago's league founder Nathan Rose; soccer-goal-keeperturned-specialist forward-Conor O’Fee; speedsters Craig Sneddon, Dan Benny, Will Dixon and Michael Coventry; crumbing goal sneak Modra; and the toughin-defence duo Paul Kirby and Joel Hodgkinson.

The 2012 Waikato season has seen an introduction of a new team into the fixtures, that team being a development one, the Waikato Taniwhas, a youth team with leadership from Luke Kneebone, Phil Mourits and Hayden Mourits. The Thunder side this year will comprise of a lot of new players, youth and experience, which is always unpredictable when mixed with Waikato passion. The goals for Waikato’s NPC campaign are simply to win all games, to be a team that will match opposition man on man, provide competition at every contest, fight for every ball with a will to win and command respect from opposition. We have said it before and it will be said again: Opponents beware: we are from Waikato Taniwha rau, he piko he taniwha, he piko he taniwha; Waikato of a thousand Taniwha, on every bend is a Taniwha. Kia Mate Toa – Never Give Up!!
