Darwin Buffettes utility Molly Althouse has claimed her second consecutive Women's Premier League best and fairest at the Northern Territory Football League's presentation night this week.

The 20-year-old has become just the third person in Women's Premier League history to achieve this feat.

She was a runaway winner, finishing with 28 votes, which was 11 ahead of the second-placed Mickayla Ward from Nightcliff.

The Territorian hit strong form after the mid-season Christmas break and polled in every game from Round 12 onwards.

"Before Christmas, I put a lot of pressure on myself," Althouse said.

"My second half of the season, I've been a lot better – overall, I think I've been alright."

Althouse played 17 games for the Buffettes this season and was named among her team's best players on eight occasions.

The Buffettes star can play in any position, but enjoys playing in the ruck and being around the football.

"I definitely enjoy playing in the ruck because I can do whatever I like really. Wherever the team needs me, I'm happy to go wherever."

Despite her young age, Althouse has already achieved plenty in a football career that has taken her across the country.

After becoming just the second teenager in history to win the Women's Premier League best and fairest last year, she spent the 2022 season flying in to play for Cairns City Lions in the AFL Cairns competition.

She was a standout in every game and collected the Jose Medal for best afield in the women's Dreamtime clash in May.

Previously, the three-time Northern Territory representative played for SANFL club Glenelg.

A passionate Western Bulldogs supporter, she is expected to play for Footscray in the upcoming VFLW season.

Despite missing out on selection in the most recent AFLW draft, Althouse still has ambitions to play at a higher level.

She has been a part of Adelaide Crows' AFLW's Darwin-based squad and has had discussions with other AFLW clubs, but concedes there are still aspects of her game that need improvement.

"The main thing that I need to work on is my fitness," she told the National Indigenous Times late last year.

"This is so that I can get to more contests and make more of an impact on games for longer."

Althouse has also added another aspect to her football by coaching the Buffaloes' U12s team and said that she enjoys giving back to the club.

"People give up their time for us to play, so I thought why not give up my time to help other people?"

In other NT football news, Palmerston junior Marika Carlton has achieved the rare feat of claiming both the U18 Girls & U16 Girls competition best and fairest simultaneously in the same season.

It is believed the 15-year-old has become the first person in the NTFL's history to achieve this.

Carlton capped off an unbelievable season by winning best-on-ground honours in her team's U16 Girls grand final win last Saturday.
