Actually, not who I thought was moving. Another kid who was an AA u15 from QLD I had heard around the traps was going to Brighton Grammar. May have opted out.
Clubs also just recruit beyond their points tally and then it just works out in the end, or good players end up the in the 2s!
PRetty sure there have been multiple QAFL senior sides unable to pick their best 22 in the last few years from time to time.
There are 12 players under 179cm on that list and 8 over 195cm
So I think you're probably jumping at shadows.
Lachie Neale is going pretty well, as will the bloke occupying the locker next to him next year.
Capturing the same audience, its a short little sideways commute from that area over to Logan.
Let the Lions do the heavy lifting in Ipswich, establish state league footy in Logan, a huge growing population that is Rugby League heartland.
Rumour has it the finals are Top 8
Aspley
Morningside
Palm Beach
Surfers
Redland
Maroochy
Sherwood
Broadbeach
Labrador
Noosa
Grange
Coorparoo
Mt Gravatt
I guess strategically going to the worst side makes it easier to get a game?
Tozer is at Norwood and Tasker did play 1 senior game for Westies this year I think. (edit: google says he is at North Adelaide and has managed 1 x senior game in 2 years)
Tozer is a walking shoulder injury though, he...
If you only had 5 junior teams, perhaps that points to why Aspley was a more appropriate State League Licensee?
Thats the issue with the Vultures, while their Seniors have hit the skids, their juniors were spiralling before that.
Look at the likes of Grange, Sherwood and even Sandgate before...
SANFL is the strongest competition outside the AFL in my view.
Not the worst move, as if you can go there and shine, then it will be noticed as a 19 year old ruck.
Given he was on the list of overage academy players though, obviously he got some news or advice he didn't like.
they had 3 wins last year, 1 in the Ressies and 2 in the Colts.
Outside the COVID years (Noosa winless in 2021 in both Seniors and Ressies), the worst 2 seasons on record would be Sherwood 2023, where they still recorded 16 wins across the 3 grades and 2018 Grange with 19 wins across 3 grades...
one of the common issues at AFLQ is the fact that they never learn from their mistakes, because its different staff making the same ones the previous staff made.
For a national body, I reckon their handover process for key operational staff is probably non existent and everyone comes from a...
Griffiths, Clare, Blood & Brent probably the only legit senior blokes they had. Sorry, don't know who Hurst is - but wou;ldn't think they could affoird to lose any of those 4, or the next best 5 or 6.
their 2024 captain or 2023 captain?
It's very bleak if they lost any of the handful of guys that can actually play from their 2024 team.
There was legitmately only 3-4 of them and they need ALL of them to stay!
They won 3 games across their 3 grades in 2024. What does competitiveness look like?
For comparison for other teams who have finished last at senior level since UQ left
2023 (Sherwood) - 16 wins across 3 grades
2022 (Sherwood) - 22 wins across 3 grades
2021 (Noosa) - 5 wins across 3 grades...
Agree. Would be embarassed to post up some of the blokes they have.
Most recent ones are some bloke who is fast that played a bit of Ressies and u16s at Coorparoo, an MMA fighter who played a bit of Colts at Labrador, Josh Smart who played 1 x VFL game as a top up, and has mostly played...
TSL is 4 points. Though TSL also no longer exists, so will be interesting how that works with points system
Doesn't he have 3 brothers? Might have got all 4 of them on the promise of playing Senior QAFL footy together.
Would be a big out for the Magpies though.
yeah, guess it disincentivises an 18 year old kid going from Kedron to Grange to play Colts, and then going to Redcliffe to play Seniors instead of Kedron (just as an example).
Regardless of whether or not they played 40 games, they are 1 point returning to Kedron - they are 3 if they go to...
the mens team I would think, unless it was a rep team of colts eligible players, as opposed to actual colts players.
If it were Colts eligible players, then it would be bloodbath the other way.
All due respect to Fabian, who is now pretty old.
Overington and Lovett the only blokes on that list who would get a senior game in the QAFL (other than at Mt Gravatt)
Don't want to go down this rabbit hole though, was more just suggesting that the Colts comp is very strong, especially now its...
I doubt he'll be selected to play any u18 games in 2025, mainly just because its a pretty strong year for the Suns.
though the year above him isn't very strong at all, so not many 17 year olds will be in that side other than Hill. So could be mainly 18 and 16 year olds.
yes, plenty.
Did you watch the Colts Grand Final? While obviously not reflective of the week to week standard, it was absolutely red hot.
Probably 10 kids out there who have already played a bit of QAFL Senior footy, and about 20 that would play regularly if they were at clubs at the other...
he might have, would be amazinf if he did.
Fair effort to be player of the carnival for 2 years running, but imagine the hype when he was 16.
Now undrafted 4 times I think.
