A lot of rumours gettin around about kp lately, my sources at Carrara say he's unhappy their an lookin for an early release from he's contractual obligations? Could make for an interesting clash come final round of the year

How did the buffs pull this coup off? If I remember correctly he is big blonde unit from alex hills. Heard from previous posts on other association forum that kid can certainly play but also can inhale a pie or two. Will dominate this divisions defences. The buffs always seem to find a big key forward from somewhere to fill a hole. Perry-bolt and Corrie were good inclusions and Templar seems to be another one.

Good for you guys indeed, not so good for Alex hills. In saying that I'm not sure where alex hills will be finishing this year but I dare say a few more inclusions like that and the buffs will be back around the Coomera mark. Possible return of any saints players to the buff train?

Haha yeah mate ended up with the bakers dozen! Fair to say I haven't made it onto the track this week. And Sunday was absolute torture. Not sure why though, maybe if I lay off the schooners and drop from 140 kegs might have better recovery time

Amazing what money can buy. Oops just a few walk-ins off the street. The Buffs keep turning them over, and the following year they just keep on walking in......

Heard a rumour from a very unreliable source that a certain buff recently went on a "TRIP" with a big brown paper bag. Personally I don't believe a word of it, Obviously it was just his lunch.

So Logan got beaten today with a dozen players out from last weeks side and by far and away some of the worst umpiring ever seen in SEQ football.
Well done to the lads in orange on influencing a game, you certainly did that.

Carrara - UQ - great day of footy in some pretty wet conditions.The Seniors was one of the best games of footy I have seen in 2 years. Congrats to 2 very committed sides who went really hard at the ball all day.
Fair to say that a draw would have been the fairest result but to put the one that mattered through with just 20 secs to go was a great reward to a bunch of guys who have toiled really hard for the last 2 years without a huge amount of success on the scoreboard.
a sincere thank you to the lads from Carrara for an exciting day of footy played in really really good spirits. Put simply - the reason we all very happily strap our boots on each week - win, lose or draw!!

Did CARRARA have a lot of players out or a victim of UQ 1st div not playing this week.
kp #4
Senior List
We had about 5 out and lost our full forward in 2nd quarter.
Take nothing away from UQ they were the better side and took there chances wether they stacked there side or not, thanks to the UQ boys for a good hard contest.
It appears UQ had 9 players that have played in a higher Division this year (mainly Div 1 Reserves).
Perhaps they are players that needed a bit of extra run in the legs so the coach took the opportunity to give them extra game time.
It would be extremely difficult to manage I would imagine! I struggle enough on a Thursday with only 2 teams!
Just to set the record straight guys we got smashed with injuries in the Div 3 seniors last week.
Against Carrara there were 2 reasonably regular div 1 ressies players who are coming back from injury, (thats the rule we have at UQ - if you are injured or absent you need to come back through a lower division) and a couple who are not getting a regular run at all in Div 1 ressies and have been relegated to Div 3. On top of that there were 4 div 3 ressies guys out of my team and 2 u18 players which were required to make up the numbers.
Just remember that when any of you are playing the UQ Div 3 seniors you are playing our 3rd best 22 - as against each of your clubs best 22. It is one of the reasons we get smashed so often in Div 3 seniors.
Leaving all that aside it was a great game of footy yesterday. We wont get many wins this season at that level so it was nice to have a few beers last night on the back of a win.

I saw the name of one of your Div 3 Snr regulars that I used to play with at the w magpies on your Div 4 team sheet for Friday night? What's the story there? Stacking your 5ths already?
Didn't mean to open up the "UQ Selections" can of worms, I was merely pointing it out to prevent anyone making ill advised comments. I've always backed the Red Lions when people challenged them and will continue to do so.
Like I said its hard enough picking 44 players each week when you have a few extras. Let alone picking around 100-150 especially when some aren't getting the game time they want/deserve in a team above.
It'd be very difficult to not upset someone along the way, and we all know how passionate I am about not upsetting people!

Blueboy87 - Have a look at the results of our Div 4 side and see if it is reflective of a stacking policy.
Have you ever thought that some semi retired former higher level players perhaps cant play saturdays because they have commitments with their own sons on Saturdays (so friday nights is good).......... or even that as most the guys in the UQ 5ths have never played footy before having a couple of retired players (who dont train) coming back to have a run every now and then might be a really good way to teach newbies how to play? Sleep on it!
And thank you Swoopa - the logistics of organising and getting up to 150 available senior guys a run each weekend has its challenges but it is something we try to execute fairly and in the interests of the game
One experienced player dropping back is stacking now eh?
How would other clubs feel if next weekend Surfers Div 1 has a bye, and 8 ressies players were to play at Beenleigh for the weekend? This is essentially what is happening with UQ. No one makes a club have 5 sides. Div 1 teams and div 3 sides should be kept completely separate.

Apologies in advance to morro if im off the mark........ but......
sweetie - im actually pretty sure this happened a couple of times last year when surfers had the bye or had excess (given there 2's won the flag by 20 goals the blokes that missed out could clearly play).
And I also have pretty good mail that Surfers / GC suns put in a request for Campbell Brown to play with surfers on the weekend as with the suns not playing in the NEAFL they wanted to get him some game time before bringing him straight back.
It happens at all clubs and all levels. Been brought up 10000 times.
Food for thought is UQ deems its 2nd best 22 to play APC cup reserves. They could quite easily play there 2nd best 22 as a senior group for Div 3. That particularly group of players has won 3 flags in a row at the former div 2 level and are undefeated so far this year in APC reserves.
I hate UQ as much as anyone (shout out to my mate RUL
) but if they played this group against the other seniors in Div 3 it wouldnt be pretty!!
