Yeronga is a postage stamp, shouldn't host senior state league mens footy.

I agree about Springfield should be a sensational complex and possible Showgrounds upgrade also exciting..... but neither ready in 2022.
It’s not free to host a Grand final we are paying to have it.
I think that if the facilities are considered okay for the Lions to use for training then they should be okay for 44 QAFL footballers on Saturday. Unless you have access to the main change rooms at Leyshorn Park there is nothing special about the facilities imo.

As long as we get three outstanding games of football; they could play the GF in the snow .. we've had some sizzling finals across all three grades in the last month.. cannot wait to see what the final serving will offer! 
SMY,
as i said the ground surface and available parking space is great, but the rest of the facilities are below par, old and outdated ,,,they even look this way ,, just feel QAFL grand final day deserves better then this and its not such a good look for outsiders coming to watch the game. .Yes I agree its better then the Yeronga precint but then again as long as we get 3 great grand finals of QAFL footy.
Watched the VFL prelim yesterday between Southport and the Suns ,, was a great game in front of a big crowd of about 6000 I reckom.
Love them or hate them , you have to give credit to Southport for reaching the VFL Grand Final especially as they are a stand alone club in this comp, ....fantastic effort ,

Who finished second

Yeah can't say that I think having been to both Southport and Coorparoo this year that the former is anything to write home about if you aren't the home side. The ground surface is not top shelf either. I think its totally over sold the actual off ground facilities - as long as its good viewing, plenty of eating / drinking around ground and not just in one spot and parking is ok (even this is not a massive criteria - gee whiz parking at Hickey Park is bloody average and they still do a great job hosting finals.

in attendance might have been a good night but whoever is in control of qafl social media better be a volunteer position, how about some promotion for the night and updates of the awards as they're presented, wouldn't be hard to do what any other league does and live stream it either

the clubs do a far better job promoting the game than AFLQ, and their social media feeds (certainly a few of them namely Broady, Sherwood, Aspley and Redland) are far superior to anything produced by the paid AFLQ employees.
I'm guessing at Broady and Sherwood they would be volunteers doing it too.
Aspley are probably the leaders in this area with their game day stuff, and Sherwood not far behind but not so good on game day updates. Both clubs also highlight alot of juniors and womens stuff too. Broady the best with the QAFL stuff, but you never hear about anything else and Redland very good coverage as well, though don't hear much about their junior club and some of their stuff is a bit cringey with weird stats and trying a bit too hard to dispel stereotypes about their club.
Palmy not partivcularly active, but I do love reading their 'Greetings from Leo' updates - informative, insightful and no fluff.

Just saw the Team of the Year - am I mistaken, or did the Cats have an undefeated season and haven't lost since middle of 2021?

The Cats are a quality side but they remind me a lot of Richmond during its period of dominance .. Craig knows what he wants out of each role and he puts the players in to fill them.. and when you're having anywhere from 4-7 changes each week for various reasons .. you wouldn't find too many players playing every game and even then, dominating to the high level..
Broadbeach is a champion team.. and come GF day, if victorious, will be really hard to name the absolute best player.

Aspley have a fan Instagram account as well made by a few of their supporters. It’s called “Hornets HQ“ and always has a lot of good content.

Good summary and if may comment , 5 other Cats players could easy be in that side be it Lower, Lowe, Lynch, Gledhill and Harbow. In saying that one could select a 2nd Team and it would not be far behind in a play off game day wise ,,,such is the quality the Qafl is now ,

brock aston
Yes , a very good player is Aston ,,,better player then Rhys Banks. only just though ,,, Rhys Banks disposal is not real consistent from what Ive seen.
Ryan Banks Smith I mean
Well ,,as of the morning its only 4 days to Grand Final Day. I see the weather is for a warm 27 degree day with some possible showers .
Only saw Banks Smith once this year very early on at Noosa but was an absolute standout so we’re his lime green boots!
That Aston from Redlands a ripper too as was Maroochys skipper Govan in the middle on both occasions.Should be a great GF but reckon the cats will go back to back!And agree with Stuyd regarding the team of the year reckon a second picked team(surely with Aaron Wilson and Jackson Bury in it) would look good also.
Local boy Connor McDonald(ruckman)won Noosa b and f with skipper Laskey runner up(for a fifth time) and Aaron Wilson third!
