I heard on the TV the other night they were, and magic would be the coach. I hope that its true.
Off top of my head, Lions: C.Stiller, R.Copeland, J.Drummond, J. Charman and rookie D.Dzufer. Bombers: R. Magin. Bulldogs: M. Hahn, S. Reid. Hawks: B. Whitecross. Kangaroos: D. Pratt, B. Warren.
It is no excuse, and i didn't think playing off in 2006 Grand final, and losing almost all of that team, and being n contention to make 4 team finals was middle of the road, but i don't know things may have changed recently.
For a club with minimal money they do pretty well.
In all fairness how many of these player are actually from the Eagles, most if not all moved from the country for a year or 2 in order to better their chances of being drafted.
I think they already have the players to be competitive. There seems to be a lot of good young homegrown talent there, which should serve them well over the next few years. Also when they go back up into state league they wont be losing their best youngsters to Mt. Gravatt or Morningside (Hamill, Davis, Holman etc) like they have the last few years. As long as a few of the young 17/18 yo's that have been performing very well for them this year don't get drafted (Jainke-Cain, Moore, Fowler, Pennycuik, Friis) they will become very important players for the Magpies. Grentell seems to be more than capable at getting the best out of this team and should at least be given the first chance at taking them into the top level. This year players like Wenham, Pope, Heffernan-Roper and Scott really look like they've grown into mature players who seem ready to take them up into state league and be competitive. Last time I was there the ground was terrible though, so that might be the only concern.
And the ones who havn't moved from the country and only played for the Eagles for a year or two were just picked up from other clubs and only played there for a year (i.e. Warren - Aspley, Whitecross - Kedron), so they can't really lay claim to actually producing much AFL talent
And this weeks selections:
Panthers v Tigers: Panthers easy
Cats v Sharks: Cats have a lot to play for but the Sharks will get over them
Vultures v Lions: Tough one - the Lions have a full list with a few players having something to prove - Lions just
Bombers v Eagles: Bombers can be tough at home, but the Eagles must win - Eagles just
Panthers v Tigers: Panthers easy
Cats v Sharks: Cats have a lot to play for but the Sharks will get over them
Vultures v Lions: Tough one - the Lions have a full list with a few players having something to prove - Lions just
Bombers v Eagles: Bombers can be tough at home, but the Eagles must win - Eagles just
This is probably the case with most State League clubs - for example I sure Reiwoldt wasn't a Southport junior, Armitage, Dempsey & Urquhart came from the country, not just Morningside, etc. I guess in most cases the State League clubs give them the opportunity to show their wares at senior level at a young age which impresses Recruiters.

Panthers by a long way

This weeks selections:
Panthers v Tigers: Panthers easy - wrong (badly)
Cats v Sharks: Cats have a lot to play for but the Sharks will get over them - right
Vultures v Lions: Tough one - the Lions have a full list with a few players having something to prove - Lions just - right, but not good on "pick the margin"
Bombers v Eagles: Bombers can be tough at home, but the Eagles must win - Eagles just - right but can't pick a margin
OB - 3 from 4
Morph - 1 from 4
H - 2 from 4.
The finals race contiues to hot up - any thoughts on 4th place? Lions now look secure, Sharks safe, but Vultures might drop another game or two. Who out of the Eagles, Cats and Panthers can get there?

the panther have the toughest run in. they got broadie this week down there. zillmere at zillmere and southport at home in the last round. i think who ever gets in can cause a heap of trouble. the lions dont have a great finals record

The only reason the Suncoast Lions don't have a good finals record, is because they only want to win while the seniors are still playing. Once Brisbane are knocked out of finals...if they make it....there is no reason for the reserves players to continue playing.

Spot on. It's simple if the Lions are still in the 8 come AFLQ finals, LOOK OUT!!
If the Lions don't make(lets hope they don't) then reserves players will book early appointments for surgeons/holidays etc, they normally just shut up shop.

Another big weekend in AFLQ State League,
Sharks v Tigers - Tigers to push them hard, but Sharks will get up
Vultures v Bombers - Bombers might just upset the "winged" Vultures
Eagles v Lions - Must win game for the Eagles, but the Lions are near full strength, might be a draw
Cats v Panthers - Cats are hard to beat at home, the Panthers will be desperate to win but will just fall short.
Gone for a couple of roughies this week - wonder what odds a Velocity Bookie would give on these 4 getting up?
Sharks v Tigers - Tigers to push them hard, but Sharks will get up
Vultures v Bombers - Bombers might just upset the "winged" Vultures
Eagles v Lions - Must win game for the Eagles, but the Lions are near full strength, might be a draw

Geez Oddy the odds on all those would be longer than my ... well they'd be really long ...
and the Winners ...
Tigers vs Sharks - Good win by the Tiges last week but Southport too strong all over the ground. Shark by 10 goals
Vultures vs Bombers - Vultures wont be in cruise control for this one after a massive loss last week, Mounties by at least 100
Eagles vs Lions - With a full 16 listed players they'll do it by 10 goals
Cats vs Panthers - Despite the loss last week, Siders are a very balanced team and Broady have no forward line, they've relied on their runners from the middle to do alot but they're (or at least Zorko) are being tagged out of the game these days. by 4 goals

Yeah govey is going pretty good. Named on the bench this week in the 1's. Makes it hard for himself when he rarely trains, but i think work commitments have a bit ot do with it. But as you said real hard nut, excels in the wet!!

I would personally like to congratulate myself on the worst tipping performance of the year!
The only thing I know is that based on no submission this week, our good friend Morph did worse than meD)
Not only was I wrong, my "pick the margins" would have been a massive negative. I would like to talk to the Stewards regarding the Vultures though! The Lions aren't that good and the Bombers that bad.
