[MajorPayne]

are the south east suns going to box on like the old tenants of Tansey park???

Think you will find they are going by the South East Surfers Twos

Tom Corless appointed as coach of Beenleigh for next year, good get by them as he has a long and successful coaching history behind him. Does anyone know if Oppy applied and was overlooked? I thought he was starting to get them up and about, they improved as the season went on. Any other coaching whispers?

Beenleigh have also announced Tom Henwood as reserve grade coach (formally Alex Hills ) good player who should drag a few players across with him which is what the Buffaloes need. Two good coaching appointments at Beenleigh however they have a lot of work to do over summer if they are to bounce back in 2015.

apparently the boxing will be a huge part of the Suns preseason program!!!!!

 

[QAFL_Fan]

Assumed with the formation of the Suns, that Beenleigh would go to QAFA B Central

We changed our name, how does that affect Beenleigh if they didn't merge?

No, Logan were to merge with Beenleigh. But the majority of Beenleigh members voted against the merger, yet the majority of Logan voted for. The "new" club, the Suns, have both some Beenleigh and Logan members.

So, which division are The Suns going to play in next year?

Fairly certain it's the same one as last year, as the Suns are "taking" the spot of Logan

 

[Snoopdog1]

Rumour has it they are aiming to go up a division, can anyone verify this?

I asked - Logan finished the year in the Black - and every account is paid - Now what do they do with the money left is the question ?

 

[Snoopdog1]

If their goal is to win a flag then they are probably going to need to buy some players.

recruit players yes, buy players no, it's QAFA, putting in a club structure that will be sustainable in the longer term is what breeds and maintains success.

 

[Snoopdog1]

Fair enough, it is only QAFA. However, if you are losing most games and never win a flag isn't it going to be hard to recruit players without some sort of incentive though? Not to mention any juniors coming through would not really aspire to play seniors at a club at the bottom of the ladder.

spot on Snoop, it takes time to build from bottom up and the juniors are a very important part of any senior clubs long term success, Suns will have big focus on juniors and in particular U19's in 2015. At senior level the new coach has a few proven quality players coming with him which will certainly make the Suns more competitive in 2015

 

[Axel Scheffer]

What clubs in this league do have U18s etc?

Let me guess, the "few proven quality players" are being incentivized somehow?

they live in the area and don't have the time to commit to 3 nights of training and Sunday rehab sessions as is the case at State League level. Two nights per week is more suitable for them particularly when they all have young families. F.Y.I. the club that these guy's came don't pay players and membership is $550.00.
