Yes clubs in Brisbane are at a major disadvantage both financially and volunteer time, when we have to pay to water, top dress, mow, upgrade lights, put lights in car parks and you go up to Sunshine coast and Moreton bay the councils does the lot. Any club in Brisbane who has success has had to...
There is a big difference between grounds in the Brisbane Council area and those outside and the assistance they get from their councils, just have to see Redcliffes, Moreton Bays and Brendale the see what could be done. To grow the game all the grounds in BCC need to brought up to a minimum...
If that was all that was required. The lights on the main oval were put in last century and dont meet the standards required for Senior night football.

I agree that Sandgate, Mayne, Zillmere and Grange all have both history and a soul. People play with these clubs for more than just money (in most cases no money). My experiance down south when the money ran out the non clubmen left to chase the cash. So to see these clubs survive is a real...
With the possible loss of the only State League side on the northside, makes it difficult for both the growth of the game and development opportunities for juniors north of the river. The AFLQ must have a strategy for AFL in Brisbane that allows for the long term future of top level football in...
Not sure what the thinking is at the AFLQ, when they created a 8 team state league and a 12 team Pineapple Cup with only one State league team north of the river, causing the reduction of pathways for juniors on the Northside. I await with interest on what happens and seeing their long term...
