Nice get Dog! This result doesn't get splashed around on the AFLQ site bc it is not aligned with the AFL per se but is the real start of rep footy for these boys. Being involved with that side, I can tell you the boys were an absolute ripper bunch, some kids who if you had a draft for 15's this year would pick themselves in the top 20 (in fact 1 boy, Tom Fullarton, I could near guarantee would go #1, best player in the country right now for this age group) and just a great group. To finish 2nd to a combined Vic side by 2 kicks and to smash WA and SA were real highlights for the lads.
The real tester though is their improvement from 2014 to 2017. This is always Qlds big let down imo. A few years back we had a State 15's side that rolled Vic Metro in the National champs, a side that consisted of half a doz boys that are now drafted including Lachie Whitfield- our contribution is 1, Clay Cameron I think. Can't say that i agree with LAB and Stuy that Qld footy is all bad atm - there are good things happening but unfortunately there are some really stupid decisions that put ppls noses out of join (and rightly so re the QAFL GF balls up and the Grogan). The conference footy was fine, good GF days, seemed that there were a few clubs below this winning games if not premierships for the 1st time. It wasn't going to be sorted in a year. The O&M may be the model for GF day but its a shit comp when only a couple of sides know they can win the thing - is this a good option??
Still rate Tom?
