AFLW 2024 - Round 4 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
I’m hearing that WA is still stumbling block with trying to have a full AFL Ressies competition.
Apparently the SANFL have agreed to let Crows and Port go but there might be a deal that sees all stand alone VFL Clubs join up with SANFL and Tassie to make a new competition.
Not sure if Southport included or not or whether they want to be part of it.
AFL to fund new competition as a sweetener as only travel is Melbourne to SA or Tassie.
Also, I want to take a moment to comment on the result of the Reserves game for this contest. The final score was: Sherwood 6-21-57 d Noosa 9-2-56
Sherwood managed to kick three less goals than their opposition, and still won the game by 1 point.
This has NEVER occurred at Senior level within the “QAFL”. As far as I can tell, a team has kicked two less goals than their opponent and still won the game only ten times. The most recent was in Round 19 2014 (NEAFL) when Redland 11-20-86 d Sydney University 13-6-84. The first occurrence was Round 2 1912 when Valley 5-21-51 d South Brisbane 7-7-49.
Must have had some serious rain(which I know hasn’t stopped for 6 months) but I was there 3 or 4 weeks ago and the ground was in awesome shape!sorry, just figured with the ground in such bad shape and the sports club getting limited income due to the roadworks - that moving wouldn't cost too much revenue.
I was there in person, and the pitch was essentially unplayable - had to slow your speed to go through it and it looked genuinely dangerous
The Hickey walk to Palmy over a couple of thousand comment may well be corrected by the following ..... he was commanding a couple of thousand a game and Broady were not in the hunt paying that sort of coinWelcome to fifo impacting your club
Broadbeach were done before the season started. Between Malceski dumping them late for the Suns role and a staggering lack of recruitment to fill retirements & blokes pissing off on FIFO gigs.
Word around the club is they let Hickey walk to Palmy over a coupe of thousand.
The current injury list doesn’t help, but alarm bells were ringing long before this season started.

No way I said that ,, I heard early in the chase for his services his figure was commanding 2k a game which Im sure hes not getting that amount ,,, I heard Broady dropped out straight away not wishing to compete for his services. What happened from there with Palmy getting him is not a known thing match payment wise .So you are saying Palmy is paying Hickey around 40K for the season? Really?
Palmy going along beautifully!
Apparently not a lot of players wanting to play in state game for some reason.Just seen the state squad, does Owen Collins play Ultimate Frisbee??

Not an away trip this year....Apparently not a lot of players wanting to play in state game for some reason.

That would be a cracking idea - maybe even put it as a curtain raiser to one of the GC games where most matches are not sold out allowing for tickets to family / friends / interested QAFL followers to easily attend. Would be two fold then by increasing the numbers for a Suns gameIf they really want to promote QLD talent they would play it during a more visible event. Would also hold more interest for players if it was played as a curtain raiser to the suns or Lions at the Gabba or Metricon. (Especially to a Qclash)

If you ask anyone that follows that league. They will tell you it’s a terrible version, I’ve been to a few finals there and I’d agree. Southern league play all their finals at the saints training base and it’s a pretty good setupI notice the Northern Football League (formally the Diamond League) in Melbourne have all the finals (EF,QF,PF and GF) always at Preston City Oval where the Preston Bullants play in the VFL. Not sure what the reason behind that is other than a deal/agreement between Preston City Oval and NFL and that it’s neutral ground.
Would be interesting to know if AFLQ put that out as an idea, how many clubs would agree to that. As, if you have a few of your teams up the top in finals, that’s at least 2 games of extra revenue for your club.
What do you mean by terrible? As in location or that all finals are played there? What’s another north side field that has a grandstand that is quality enough for finals? Southern League would be interesting to watch in finals.If you ask anyone that follows that league. They will tell you it’s a terrible version, I’ve been to a few finals there and I’d agree.
