NOT ME,, I DID NOT QUOTE THATYou’re like Nostradamus!
Not sure what changes there will be to VFL Stu as I know Port Adelaide want in but SANFL hold license to Crows so they won’t let them into VFL so one won’t go without other.Damo, and I dont see why they would ,, The AFL are looking at major restructures with this comp which may well see Southport Sharks not being a participant ,, so if that occurs where do they play ,, The QAFL ,, !!!!
But what can they possibly do now? Can’t just drop them into div 1. Can’t change any rules because a team is struggling. I understand it sucks for the vultures and it is really sad to see but just because it’s QAFL doesn’t mean any special changes.
Arguments can be made from any other team sitting at the bottom of the ladder and getting smashed in other comps that they deserve help but really what can AFLQ actually do. Poor management on and off the field at the Vultures for years led to this. Only suggestion would be AFLQ promoting players to come and join Mt Gravatt. But even then that’s special treatment. Sandgate never got any special treatment when they were trying to survive in QAFL.
It’s only going to get worse too, they’ve had three home games in a row and been beaten all 3 times royally.
Aspley and RVP are dragging the competition up. The top 8 clubs have recruited well in response. There wont be any sympathy for MTG gameday as the top 6 is going to be well contested. Every side is going to have to try and improve their % when they play MTG.Sandgate did win one game and were competitive in several others for the 2019 season. The Vultures will not win a single game this season. They won’t even challenge anyone. This is a very special case IMO, the QAFL needs to act. We will see the Vultures lose all or the majority of their games by 100+
You are dreaming if you think they are coming down for free, I have first hand info of what blokes get to fly down south from Darwin and it’s good cashAspley and RVP are dragging the competition up.

Its inevitable MTG will lose senior players to injury as the season progresses with no 1st grade quality senior depth to draw from.
Despite All the off season concerns, AFLQ decided to keep MTG in the comp. AFLQ shouldn't abandon MTG now the inevitable has happened, and should back their earlier decision with $$. There ARE options if they want to think outside the box.
There is some real good young talent in the NT that could be flown down, and would love the opportunity to play in the QAFL and wouldn't want match payments... just for the opportunity and the adventure. NT academy would know all the 18-25yo boys who are suitable.
*1st, Perhaps $100 to cover some small costs, food etc.You are dreaming if you think they are coming down for free, I have first hand info of what blokes get to fly down south from Darwin and it’s good cash
The blokes available in Darwin not already flying down south would be worst then what Mt Gravatt have now, also the best academy kids are already down south playing TAC cup as a few go to boarding school.
Move on the season has started and they won’t win a game but at least they have got 3 teams going each week.
Why would the fees paid by other clubs be used by AFLQ to prop up a basket case?
You’re deluded mate if you think they’d even bother considering this let alone do it.
I hear where your coming from but its all to late ...You are probably right that it wont be considered. Im just saying its possible.
There are 4 potential partners in this;
AFLQ
MTG
Suns academy (and their sponsors)
Gov Indigenous programs/funding. (please leave the social/political argument out of it)
Im not saying it isnt without hurdles, im just saying there is an opportunity for something positive to come from an unfortunate situation if concerned parties would come together and make it work?
$100 lol, blokes that play 2s footy in Darwin are getting $800 a game to fly down to country Victoria.*1st, Perhaps $100 to cover some small costs, food etc.
*What some players get matters not. Plenty of 18-25yo would be up for an adventure.
*Only 18-19yo are playing TAC for the academy and will be over soon. If they are living in VIC or SA, then they arent available..
*Plenty of 20-21-22-23-24-25 year olds would be up for it.
AFLQ decided MTG were good to go for the 2024 season. One would think AFLQ have an obligation to the QAFL comp for MTG to be at least competitive?
Anyway, just an idea.
.
How bloody stupid are Vic clubs mate...$100 lol, blokes that play 2s footy in Darwin are getting $800 a game to fly down to country Victoria.
can you tell me why Mt Gravatt are in this situation?
What was stopping Mounties from ringing players in Darwin 3 months ago if this was an option?You are probably right that it wont be considered. Im just saying its possible.
