Just reading that ex Morningside coach Steve Wildshut just been appointed Senior Coach at Maroochydore. Has plenty of experience and has a terrific bunch of 15-17 year olds to develop from within.
Good appointment

Same age as Matthew Payne !
I’m jury out on this appointment. Don’t know him that well but by all reports was a very frustrated coach in his last years at Morningside and been out of game for a while.
Not sure the old school coaches suit players of today. Hopefully for Maroochydore sake I’m wrong but I heard Eames applied for same gig and would have thought he might have been a good fit and has had success working with current age demographics.
Not true, players and board didn't have any issue with him and you couldn't class him as a traditional old school coach. Would have got another contract at Morningside if he wanted it but time was right to move on.

Will free up some salary for Daniel Rich NB - Wilson was on $600 wasn't he?
My understanding is Eames notified the club early in the week to withdraw from the applications process due to being successful in another coaching position which I think you will find is perfect for him.
Morningside big announcement via FB just now. Big inclusion for the QAFL .
Was interviewed for Morningside job last year and didn’t get it?
Lot of noise coming out of MtGravatt that things not going well. Appears they have lost a few and may struggle to be in QAFL Competition or any Competition for that matter.
Very proud Club always find a way, but this might be a huge battle by the looks.
Hearing some 12-15 players already departed from Senior list.

Don't think they even appointed a new coach, it has been offered to at least 3-4 people who have all knocked it back. Only one of them was an actual applicant, now they are throwing out hopeful offers to anyone in footy.
Terrible if they don't stay in, but heading the direction of UQ/Sandgate by the looks - though more Sandgate than UQ.

I have also heard that Mt Gravatt are struggling.
However, I was told by someone from Coorparoo a couple of weeks ago that their application had been knocked back by the QAFL, despite them meeting all criteria?
Heard same thing - AFLQ not interested in mucking around competitions too greatly at the top end. If a club falls on its sword then so be it but you would imagine there would be some hard conversations had around viability based on those stats.
No I wouldn't say he's "old school" at all. What that means is everyones own opinion but I would say Steve isn't a ranter or raver / hot gospeler. He's been involved with the Academy this year and I think highly rated across the board. Suppose time will tell.
Coorparoo surely have to come in if Mt Gravatt bow out .. they are set up for it ,have grown to be a very strong club,, successful, got the players , got the facilities and even have a strong Womens base.
They are primed in my opinion
I think AFLQ prefer a 10 Team Competition at the end of day so not sure they will be in a hurry to add to QAFL Competition for mine.
But if the Vultures drop out ,, and Coorparoo come in you still have a 12 team comp ,, better then having 11 teams which creates the bye rounds for clubs

11 teams and a bye is better than 12 - but the sweet spot is 10, play each other twice over 18 rounds.
they both have their pros and cons,, 10 , 11 0r 12 teams.. I prefer 12 teams for many reasons but thats just my opinion
Correct, this is exactly what AFLQ want so there is no lopsided fixtures and every team plays each other both home and away.
