The Northern Territory's AFL governing body has said it is "committed [to] working" on the sport's "positive role" in the community in response to calls for more to be done to stamp out domestic violence in the competition. 

The No More campaign, an Aboriginal initiative for preventing domestic and family violence, is calling for the AFL NT and clubs part of the NT Football League (NTFL) to take stronger action against domestic violence, including by conducting police background checks on potential players.
