Following the demise of North Essendon, which competed in the 1947 and 1948 seasons, TAA was brought in to take its place.[1]
However, the side was beaten heavily, and withdrew from the competition following round 4 of the 1949 season.[2] After leaving the thirds competition, TAA played and was defeated by a side representing Australian National Airways in a one-off match in August 1949. TAA disbanded shortly after this time.[3]
