The 6 certainly isn't finalised although is pretty close. Be interesting to see if they can squeeze in but will need quite a few games to go their way.Sherwood are a top four team. They made Palm Beach look mediocre today at their home ground and should be respected. Won four of their last five and look to be absolutely rolling. They have some great young players coming through.
Couldn’t help but watch the replay back for the game as I couldn’t believe the score. While PBC didn’t look full strength the first half performance from Sherwood is worrying for the competition. Clean, fast, scintillating ball movement left PBC with zero answers. Definitely a team to watch for the (near) future!Sherwood are a top four team.

Take it with a grain of salt Miller1971. You seem offended that a team who has notoriously struggled the past few years is finally playing good footy. Sherwood might not play finals, but they can certainly impact the final standings of the ladder. Hence I said they should be taken seriously.if they were a top 4 team, they'd be in the top 4.
Almost mathematically impossible to play finals looking at the ladder, even if they win the lasst 2 by 100
Great game of footy at Morningside today with Aspley just to clean in the end with better ball use when it counted.
From the games I have seen this year it was definitely a step up and great advertisement for the code in QLD.
Hopefully that’s not the best standard of umpires we have as if so we in trouble GF Day. No feel for the game and physical contact. Paid far too many soft free kicks and the 50m penalties were very ordinary. Both ways I might add before I get bowled down. Spoiled a good game of footy. They were the only let down of game today unfortunately.
Why the change of form from start of year to end? Has there been some players added (Academy boys?) or just starting to click after a a change of coach 2 weeks before the start of the season?Take it with a grain of salt Miller1971.

How would you know? Arguably it has taken most of the year for them to start to play some good, consistent footy. Would that have happened sooner if there had been continuity with the previous coach? Who knows?Maybe the change of coach was the right call??
As an outsider I can only go on the win/loss and it’s improved significantly under the new coach who has been resigned for 2025.How would you know?

They seem to have a promising group of young players coming through though. I wasn't surprised to see them beat Palm Beach on Saturday. Definitely improving, so I hope they can continue that into next season so that the competition continues to be more even, and the standard across the competition generally continues to grow. I don't think it serves anyone to have 2 or 3 teams who are miles off the pace.
Agree with this however Sherwood have been on paper a talented yet young side. I would say players are starting to mature and this is resulting in wins. Marsh walked into an injury riddled Sherwood after having been assistant at a strong Aspley side so it would have taken some time for him to adjust too.As an outsider I can only go on the win/loss and it’s improved significantly under the new coach who has been resigned for 2025.
It’s not personal with the old coach. Sometimes it just doesn’t click. Certain style and methods may work with one group of players and not another group.
I thought the umpiring was ok,, yes a few bad decisions but that occurs every week ,, certainly did not detract the high game standardCaught the second half of this one. actually thought they let a fair bit go watching live. Looking back on the replay there's only a few it's not pretty clear what they were for
50 in the last quarter was pretty touchy. can only guess he went over the mark?
Well actually he’d been coach of a rawly talented Sandgate in their last years of QAFL. So he did have experience with inexperience. The 3rd hand word I heard was that work commitments was the major factor to the separation decision. So maybe the planets just didn’t align.Agree with this however Sherwood have been on paper a talented yet young side. I would say players are starting to mature and this is resulting in wins.

not offended at all. they are going well lately, actually think their form all year has been ok. But you declared them a Top 4 team, and they are 10th on the ladder.... so, not really a Top 4 team. In fact they are 4 wins and 40% from the Top 4 and in 6 completed matches against the Top 4 they are 5 losses and 1 win, and the average margin of those losses is about 10 goals.Take it with a grain of salt Miller1971.

As I said Miller1971, take it with a grain of salt. I was merely implying that the quality of football Sherwood has produced over the last month would have them on par with the top four sides of the competition. It wasn't meant to be taken literally... and I never anointed them a premiership threatnot offended at all. they are going well lately, actually think their form all year has been ok.

A team can be going well, there is no need to annoint them as a Top 4 PRemiership threat on the back of a good month.
