One potential upset this week.

Roos v RVP @ Maroochydore.

Roos have found form and are hard to beat at home. Have a big challenge that i think they will rise to.
RVP having an unusually lethargic start to the season. Will need to be on top of their game today.
 
Only 2 games didnt see a score in the 100s..

Lab 93. BB 72

And Because Aspley scored 207 to MTG 19 ...

Noosa put up a hell of a show at Morningside. Leading well for much of the game, to be over run at the end 141 to 100.

I went to the Morningside vs Noosa today and it was the best game I have seen this season ,,
It had a bit of everything plus 36 goals ..
Noosa were extremely good in the 1st half but the Mornigside machine took control in the 3rd quarter ..
Morningside are very good ,, lots of big bodied players that attack hard and they played some great passages ..
They have a gun in numbe 8 ,,I think his surname is Mcdonagh .. very very classy player wirh a great left foot kick ..

"Tradition V Trivia" (for anyone interested):

What do we have this week?

Round 8

Surfers Paradise V Wilston Grange
Played 26: Surfers Paradise 18 wins – Wilston Grange 8 (QAFL 2011-2023)
Overall 36: Surfers Paradise 25 – Wilston Grange 11 (2000, 2005-2023)
The QAFL record leans heavily towards the Demons – although there have been numerous close games with seven decided by less than 10 points. The two clubs ended up in the same competition (AFLSQ) for the first time in 2000. This was for only one season, as promotion and relegation kept them apart until 2005. They have competed against each other in every season since then.

Labrador V Broadbeach
Played 62: Labrador 21 – Broadbeach 41 (QAFL 1997 – 2024)
As these two clubs have already met this season, I have already mentioned that I don’t have results from the GCAFL. I have made a start on collating this information – but it has a huge distance to travel yet. If anyone has any info that can help, please pass it on.
As it is, both these teams were introduced into the QSFL in 1997. With 8 single-digit margins, and 4 triple-figure margins, the Cats enjoy a much better record.
Sometimes, the head-to-head record of clubs fail to produce any trivia worthy of sharing. However, this game has a good one:
If the combined score of this week’s game reaches 152 points, then that will be the 10,000th point scored in Labrador V Broadbeach games. As a neutral, I reckon a 76-point draw would be great!

Maroochydore V Redland Victoria Point
Played 6: Maroochydore 1 – Redland 5 (2021-2024)
Overall 15: Maroochydore 8 – Redland 7 (1994-1997, 2021-2024)
The Sharks have dominated these QAFL games. However, the one victory for the Roos was pretty important, being the 2021 Elimination Final. The closest margin in the six games was 10 points – yet five of the six games have been decided by less than five goals.
I almost forgot that the two clubs also share a history of four season in the BAFL. During those years, any club would be hard-pressed to defeat Maroochydore. To their credit, Redland was Maroochydore’s final BAFL opponent, as the Sharks defeated the Roos by eight goals in the Semi-Final.

Morningside V Noosa
Played 4: Morningside 4 – Noosa 0 (2021-2023)
There was never a reason for these two clubs to meet in a fixture match until Noosa was promoted to the QAFL in 2021. Since then, the Panthers have won all four games (two with a relatively close result).
Not much more info to share though.

Aspley V Mt Gravatt
Played 13: Aspley 8 – Mt Gravatt 5 (2009-2013, 2022-2023)
Overall 73: Aspley 29 – Mt Gravatt 44 (1975-1993, 2009-2013, 2022-2023)
Going back a few years (well, maybe a couple of decades), this would have been a massive game. As a Senior club, Mt Gravatt was more established earlier than Aspley, so when they started to compete in SQAFA First Division from 1975, the Vultures enjoyed the better record for a number of years. Once Aspley consolidated, the clashes became quite even. Their rivalry represents 60 games of significance.
Within the QAFL, Mt Gravatt won the first four clashes – and Aspley has won eight of the past nine games.

Palm Beach Currumbin V Sherwood
Played 30: Palm Beach 19 – Sherwood 11 (2011-2023)
Overall 46: Palm Beach 28 – Sherwood 18 (1999-2000, 2005-2008, 2011-2023)
Of the more recent QAFL history, almost one-quarter of their games have been decided by less than 10 points (7 games of the 30 played).
Of course, if we go a little further back, the two clubs played in two tremendous AFLQ Division Two Grand Finals in 2007 and 2008, with one win each.
Dig a little deeper: when Sherwood reformed as a Senior club in 1999, they played in the Gold Coast competition. The Lions defeated Sherwood three times that season.

As usual, if anyone disagrees with any details, or has more information to share, please let me know – I want to get these records as accurate as possible.

Enjoy. :thumbsu:

Toucan, great stuff as usual. I enjoy your posts.

I’m not sure what you can make of Morningside in that this year in 4 of the 8 games they has totalled scores of 140, 141, 142 & 143. Besides that bit of numerology I am wondering as high scoring is a strong factor to winning if you can educate me on what (1) the highest losing total score is in QAFL and (2) what score creates a high percentage winning probability. (I.e. the old folklore of first to 100)

IMO its just a reflection of the current pressure game thats in vogue. You see it in the AFL especially, except the better AFL teams spread the ball by hand and foot which tends to find space and get a lot of movement when out of the congestion, leading to end to end footy.

BUT.. the AFL players have elite skills to go end to end with cutting accurate kicks and handballs. Rare that QAFL level teams can link the necessary number of disposals to get end to end in a complete string? One mistake ends in a congestion of contests. Hence your scrappy games?

Another I have noticed this season is the crowd attendences ,, appear to be much lesser supporters at games

Really solid home crowds at Noosa Stuyd with bar takings being good also!
Maroochy at home or away always big but maybe the ‘Daniel Rich’ factor playing a part.Our away crowds as usual poor!

Our crowds have held up really well so far Stuyd despite the results to date, mind you we’ve had the local derbies so far and with winter approaching I’m sure it’ll drop off. Was a small crowd at labrador Saturday for what was a big game for both clubs.

As for the standard, scrappy style of play I’m not sure I agree there, scoring is up on previous years competition wide and personally I haven’t really noticed any real difference on style of play
 
Standard appears much lower than last year.

Crowds probably reflect local interest, given some of the better teams have so few locals playing for them.

Still a good day out at Aspley though, they are starting to bring a few juniors through after being Tasmanian rep side there for a bit.
