For financial reasons, Scottsdale could no longer field a team in the NTFL and in 2000 switched to the new NTFA, an amateur competition which had been formed four years earlier.It would be North Launceston who they would meet and account for in the Grand Final and the club went on to win the Tasmanian State Premiership with a 65-point thrashing of Hobart and narrow 11-point victory over Cooee, both away from home.As the premier club in Tasmania, Scottsdale were invited to the 1973 Championship of Australia where they competed against that year's premiership winners from the three major leagues, Glenelg, Richmond and Subiaco.The Scottsdale team of 1973, which had been captain-coached by Bob Wilson, was inducted into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame in 2005, the first club to receive such an honour.For financial reasons, Scottsdale could no longer field a team in the NTFL and in 2000 switched to the new NTFA, an amateur competition which had been formed four years earlier.
