Yeah, good point & fair call, For the record though Paige and Brauer where approched not long after the GF by Aspley, Both of them and Matthews had already decided to stick together and when Fletcher was reappointed at Noosa they commited for another year.
Aspley, Under a full season with Russel Evans will be a top 5 club.
not sure about brauer but page did train with aspley proir to signing with noosa last year. page also spoke with morningside. im pretty confident that lucas approached aspley and told them that he could bring 4 or 5 with him. anyway its all history now.
the phc or premier division standard of footy has improved over the years and i think the better players could make the transition into state league footy without too much hassle.
