Huge day to support ill player

The local football community is rallying to support popular but seriously ill Western Magpie Brett Gwyther on Saturday 20 January.

A huge fundraising day will be staged at the Magpies’ home ground at Chelmer Street East, featuring a range of personalities and activities.

The fundraiser will help make Gwyther more comfortable while he is in hospital.

Several Brisbane Lions and Brisbane Broncos players have readily accepted invitations to attend the day and lend their support, along with some media personalities.

There will be rides for the kids, bands providing entertainment, auctions of sporting memorabilia and more. The day starts at 11am and runs to about 4pm.

Gwyther played more than 100 junior games for the Magpies, and has replicated that at senior level. He was an integral part of the club’s senior premiership team in their memorable Division Two grand final win over Noosa last September.

One of the club’s genuine ‘good guys’, he is hugely popular with many of the club’s junior players, having served as a coach of various underage teams for the past five years.

Those who would like to make a donation but can’t attend the day can make a pledge to the club by calling 3379 5528.

All funds raised will go towards assisting Brett, and anything raised over what is required will be donated to the Cancer Foundation.

Taking moderator nominations

Hi folks,

Kev here, mod of Regional Leagues board. You probably haven't such much of me because I'm a slacker.

We're currently considering a request to create an entire sub-forum for Queensland footy, obviously incorporating and mainly comprising this AFLQ discussion community.

I told 'em I reckon it'd ber a good idea IF (and only IF) we got a relevant moderator put in place to keep an eye on the sub-forum.

For that reason, I'm here to ask you lot, who you'd reckon is the stand-up sort of cob that'd go alright in helping maintain a healthy Qld footy forum.

If you could please Private Message me with the names of the users you would nominate, I'll cull the results a bit and send it on to the bigger brass for deliberation. Please give any one argument or piece of evidence as to why you reckon each of your nominees is a worthy candidate. "Worthy" means things like abides by the rules themselves, is regularly seen around quite a bit, and is handy at coming up with topics to discuss and basically generates interest.

You can nominate as many people as you want, and, yes you can nominate yourself :)

Alrighty, knock yerselves out! I look forward to running out of room in my inbox!

Cheers,

Kev
 
Can anyone up there give me some info on a Jack Stanley. I think he is a young fella with a bit of talent, interested in your comments. Told he may be a chance for the big time.
 
Just wanted to remind all about the fundraiser for Brett Gwyther on Saturday. I don't know the bloke personally, but he is a fine player and the fact that he has taken time out in the past few years to coach a junior team, as a 24 year old, I think probably says a lot about him as a person.

While we each have our own clubs I see us as being part of a footballing community in Queensland, and it is just so important that we come together at times like this. It would be fantastic to see a huge crowd down there to let Brett know that we are behind him as he faces this battle.

Thanks

Some footy goss...... just passing it on....

* The 8 players reportedly going from Broadbeach to PBC this year ahs sort of fell through. Only 2 are going, B'beach put transfer fees on all, and PBC forgot to calculate that into their equasions...

* Adrian Wallin from Sringwood has reportedly signed at Mt Gravatt as A/Coach of the reserves.

* Josh Veering was putting his feelers out over the last month or so, meeting with Redlands, Springwood and Labrador. He has since decided to stay at Mt Gravatt.

* Wayne Carey set to play a game or two for PBC this year.

*Niel Marshall from the Gorialls apparently looking for a bit more involvement in the coaching side of things, watch this space...

* Easdown arrives back in Brisbane, talk is he is going back to Puma land in 07

* Aspley looking the goods, Has anyone ever finished last in a season then won it the next year???




thats all i have

Didn't think that was possible. To the best of my knowledge a div 1 club can't put a transfer fee on a player who is going to play at a lower level.
 
If going from div 1 to Div 2 they get 75% of the transfer fee. It is worked out on criteria. State player, premiership player, etc.
It is such a terrible system.I'll give you an example....

Lets say player X plays for Southport, he played in a premiership with them, played state twice and player 100+ games he would be worth say $1500. If he went to another div 1 club that new club would have to pay $1500.
If, lets say Burleigh recruited him, Burleigh would have to pay $1125 (75%).

However lets say Burleigh have a young up and comer, maybe a potential draftee and he moved to Southport to advanced his footy, Southport would pay nothing as he doesn't tick off any criteria.

Does this system sound fair? Doubt it!

Pretty sure the lower league clubs (Burleigh in your example) can ask for a transfer fee from the higher clubs, if the higher club isn't happy then normally the AFLQ will review the asking fee and make a ruling.
 
yeah, they can, but if it is a young fella who has played a limited number of games, and no other things that warrant a fee (i.e - premiership) they will get him for nothing or maybe $100 or whatever it is...

But yes if it is a div 2 player who has fufilled some of the criteria then yes they can request a transfer fee.

I looked into it and what I said was right, Broadbeach can't ask for a transfer fee.

you'll have to check where you looked Morphous. See below.

Just copied this from an email, a friend of mine going from a Div 1 club to a Div 2 club. He hasn't been transferred yet, as they (the 2 clubs) are haggling over the price.
