That was Sandgate. We had 3 Redcliffe players move over. Just before the season started two others ask to move across, both former Sandgate players. We asked the league, they said if Redcliffe agreed they would approve based on them being former Sandgate players. Both players approached us due to a falling out with coaches, we didn’t go after them at all. Redcliffe were fine with it so aflq approved. It wasn’t 6 and if Redcliffe or AFLQ didn’t approve we were fine with that call.That would involve AFLQ actually sticking to their own rules. There is a rule in at least QFAW that you can only transfer a maximum of 3 players from another club when you go up into their division. Aflq allowed a club to take 6 from another one this year and told the clubs to sort it out between themselves. They can make all these rules but never actually stick to it
So if 4 guys from Hinterland want to come to Maroochydore for a go at QAFL you’d knock them back? I doubt that very much.Yeah it can be stopped - pretty easily imo. eg a rule that states a maximum number of players can transfer from 1 club to another club. Not that hard imo. If kids want to transfer and the quota has been met then find another club
Geez Longy. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story! I thought that everything on here was fact checked?That was Sandgate. We had 3 Redcliffe players move over.

We’re talking junior footy. If tgat was to happen at senior level then the points system disadvantages u trying to do so. Surely u don’t believe that clubs should lose players to some coach trying to build their own empire at junior level?So if 4 guys from Hinterland want to come to Maroochydore for a go at QAFL you’d knock them back?

Yeah nah….so your saying to a kid ‘You can’t play with your mates?’ Not sure about that.Yeah it can be stopped - pretty easily imo. eg a rule that states a maximum number of players can transfer from 1 club to another club.

I didn’t say I agreed. I just believe it’s difficult to prevent due to human nature and dynamics of junior sport.We’re talking junior footy.

Agree with all that - but in the majority of cases kids moving clubs en mass to a specific club where that coach has already been.... add the layer of an academy coach in there too being at the forefront then it can be a poor look and should be avoided where ever possible.I didn’t say I agreed.

I agree that some Coaches will have their own personal interest ahead of the kids. Absolutely there is plenty of that. However it’s not always just entirely the coaches fault.
Most club officials in junior clubs, who on the whole do a wonderful job, are most often parents too with their own bias and sometimes they can make their decisions based on a range of things that aren’t always football or coaching related. Both sides get their hackles up and then it escalates and gets personal. It’s an easy out to just generalise & blame the coaches alone.
I'm saying you can't go around recruiting kids - tbh if "your only mates" are stuck with one football side then I would be asking what sort of kid have you got first and foremost. And it is a rule (or was )Yeah nah….so your saying to a kid ‘You can’t play with your mates?’ Not sure about that.
Well they do - any player coming from anywhere that is not their own club as a junior is immediately penalised no matter how small that penalty is. Thats my understanding of the points system.Points don’t disadvantage a qafl club taking from lower divisions
Clubs can do as they wish. It’s a free for all. Anyone thinking anything else lives in a fantasy world
you can come from certain lower divisions and not get penalised as long as your under 20 so that isn't entirely true.Well they do - any player coming from anywhere that is not their own club as a junior is immediately penalised no matter how small that penalty is.

I prefer Coorparoo also but those two grounds must have some 10 metres difference in length. Surely not a deciding factor.Good to see they are using a full size ground at Cooparoo for the Grand Final rather than the kiddie ground at Yeronga it will make for better football.
I think it’s the other way around lolGood to see they are using a full size ground at Cooparoo for the Grand Final rather than the kiddie ground at Yeronga it will make for better football.
Close enough. Get this, as an Aspley fan I’m disappointed in Wilston Grange losingMy tip:
