QAFA (A) 2016 Season

Remove this Banner Ad

Pretty sure why this young fella in question went to parkridge is because he wants the Redbacks to stay together. If he was to go to a Qafl club and a few were to go to different other clubs the core group of players from the redders would be no more. I commend the young fella on his actions on having his home teams interest best interest at heart.
Don't think you've done yourself any favours putting it on a forum saying your disappointed that other people got into his ear. He's a big boy I'm sure he can make his own decisions

Can't say I agree with this, and its one of the problems in SEQ footy in the last few years.

A good club, who has a good player of QAFL ability that is (using an arbritary measure) under 25 should push them to play at a higher level. The likes of Wynnum, Vic Point, Coorparoo etc should be pushing blokes to the Siders or Redland. The likes of Kedron, Mayne, Redcliffe etc etc should be pushing guys to Aspley or Sandgate. The likes of Pirates, Logan etc etc should be pushing guys to Mt Gravatt and the likes of Ipswich, Jindalee, Kenmore, Moorooka etc should push people to the Western Magpies.

This is how a good system works.

The insular nature of these clubs is getting out of hand and the big picture is getting missed.

If clubs had these young players absolute best interests at heart, instead of worrying about their own backyard - this is exactly what they would do (and did in fact use to do!)

Hiding some kid at the lower levels benefits nobody in the long run, and its just bad practice.

*Disclaimer: yes, I'm from Morningside. Yes, we have benefited greatly from quality kids in the eastern suburbs coming to us from other clubs. However, yes we have also sent guys to those clubs in return who have played Juniors at the Siders and aren't QAFL prospects.

Dodgy think you are mistaking the morning side who played in the states best comp 10 years ago to the morning side that is playing in a standard not significantly better than did 1 footy this year. Certainly the conversations coming out of aflq are that qafl footy has dropped away in recent years across the board. No doubt quality footy in the top 2 or 3 teams but not the depth there was.
Now not sure clubs like Maroochydore, Caloundra, Noosa have any obligation to send their better young players to any qafl side when they are developing and creating their own for either senior footy or to play neafl/ afl footy. Send the blokes to Aspley or Redlands but morning side, grange, Sandgate... Nup. They can do their own work with their own juniors and recruiting. One of the biggest sleights on coast footy is that a bloke goes and trains at Aspley with all the backing and support of their local club, only to be told that their local club, when they aren't playing at Aspley, will now become a Sandgate or whatever the aflq choose. That's madness. Player hates it, local club can't understand why. Qafl clubs sits back and has aflq do their recruiting for them. This needs to change IMO. Makes for lazy footy clubs..

Couldn't agree more regarding the likes of Coorparoo, Noosa, Maybe, Maroochy and any other Div 1 side. Zero obligation to push good players of their own away.

Anyone draftable was already identified at 16 and locked into the talent pathways, after that is up to the individual where they want to play their footy.

Brainfade your having a brain fart! Obviously guise is the man in question here, " he wants the redbacks to stay together " wishful thinking? No chance of the redbacks getting out of the grave now they are in it! He obviously wants to win another bottom division B&F.

It's the fringe qafl players like Rooks and Tomlinson who should be having a crack at a higher level but they are probebly honest with themselves and know they would spend time in the two's and don't want to take the qafl punt and play thirds footy to look like superstars as qafl fan said earlier.
 
So correct in saying that jimboomba no longer have a team and have merged with Park Ridge? Appears some jimboomba boys think this will be helping their club in a couple years, dunno about that. Surely Guise, Rooks and maybe Tomlinson aren't playing thirds?

Park Ridge must be overflowing if they have picked up another 15-20 blokes from the Redbacks.

Shame you don't have lights Blocker!

Thomo got better lights than Sherwood mate. Our problem is the lighting to car park is no existent so we have major liability issue.

But will be sorted this year so definitely night games next year mate.

It my mail is right all the above are playing at the pirates .

Was telling myself l wouldn't comment but that's too hard for me
Even though the Redbacks have sold its sole to whom they called the devil since Park ridges entry in the lower division they had to admit Andy and his crew have done ten times the work to become the succes they are.

The pirates house some of the best Redback juniors/youth who left and the pirates turned them into finals players whilst the one youth redback side collected the spoon.

As has been already said mismanagement and the loss of a Ringa Ryan brought the club down the loss of its best youth players didn't help. Congrats to Andy for stepping in and saving a once proud club.

As for the following players Guise he loves the Redbacks wanted to stay a redback and will always breath sleep and root for the Redbacks.
Marto l question why some people say he wouldn't make QAFL he was given a job last year in a team stacked with talent and did his job.it may have put a few noses out of joint but he proved them wrong at the league B&f

Rooks people forget he is new to game has had a crack at the big time came back and with the right coaching he could do anything and his cousin Bryce watch a few videos of him from Broadbeach.

Unless you have been involved in the club you have no idea it's a club who after Ryan left was being held together by one man S?Greig who has children in both clubs without him it wouldn't have been their last season.
It's a club that had 5 of the best clun men ever Ryan Greig and the Heppell brothers a club that made finals for a decade straight winning premierships and losing them like Woodsmen have.it also housed one of the best in K.Watson.

All though l think it's disgraceful it's a sad day and their president should hang its head in shame it gives the Pirates a opportunity to get silverware in the cupboard at this years Cardinal cup and if it pushes the pirates on to becoming a future QAFL club playing out of Jimboomba well done Andy. But here's the best part of it all it brings six sense back...
For the sake of footy don't blame the pirates they just issued the lifeline to a poorly run club
