QAFL 2024 season

[sportsfan123]

I wouldn't know mate, luring people from interstate with an $80k cap isn't really possible unless a few boundaries are pushed. It's not something we do, or really try to do.

Rightly or wrongly, feel our role as a QAFL club is to be a nursery for local QLD talented kids and grow the game in Queensland, rather than lure interstate players to fill the side ahead of the locals. Any interstate players at the Pies are here because they were moving already, and they had to pick a club, not because we relocated them.

It's fantastic for Hudey to head south, he is a genuine AFL prospect and with the long list of forwards on the Lions AFL list who likely won't be playing much AFL, he is better off making that decision as he cant get guaranteed a VFL game ahead of a listed player.

$80k is bugger all! Some of these VIC leagues are at a $150k cap! How does QAFL compete with that? It doesn’t… yet! Then the brown paper bags and yellow envelopes get involved!

You can imagine what would happen though if AFLQ increased the salary cap to that
