What’s a pretend VFL player?
That couldn’t possibly happen, could it?someone that neither trains, nor plays with the VFL team they are listed for but still gets a points deduction. In some alleged cases the VFL coach doesn't know who they are!
If you a conspiracy theorist probably could happen. I think the player in question had no interest in playing VFL because of work commitments but after Lions lost Coleman, Dodee, Gardner all went down in a short period they reached out to him to see if they got in trouble could he help out. So they put him on list and in fact he would have played at least 2 games but suspension and injury stopped him on both occasions.That couldn’t possibly happen, could it?
Maroochydore too?Pretty sure LB that’s why we have been given 5 extra points for 2025 as we are unable to attract any VFL listed players due to location

Didn’t know Thommo was on Lions coaching staff nowadays .
Maybe if people concentrated on their own clubs and what they can control , instead of worrying about what everyone else is doing they might get some results. Everything I hear from certain clubs recently is whinging about other clubs. They wonder why they are where they are
No mate they had 2 VFL listed players this yearMaroochydore too?
Weren’t they just juniors?No mate they had 2 VFL listed players this year
Building nicely mate!Aspleys Will ODwyer to Maroochydore for 2025
Never heard of himBuilding nicely mate!
You are probably right there mate but there’s also a league ruling that there is no points allocation allowance for clubs that wear green jumpersWeren’t they just juniors?

Whose left Redlands-VP?Redlands look like they have lost a few from last years GF side.

Just another leg up for Noosa mate... At some point someone somewhere will say "hey stand on your own 2 feet'...You are probably right there mate but there’s also a league ruling that there is no points allocation allowance for clubs that wear green jumpers
Mate we are the only club on the Coast that hasnt folded at some point in history so we know well and truly how to stand on our own two feet!Just another leg up for Noosa mate... At some point someone somewhere will say "hey stand on your own 2 feet'...
I suppose the extra points allows another Daniel Rich type to be picked up....
c'mon mate - that football club is starting to look like Tom Sawyer the way the hand is being held out each year for some sort of leg up. Wasn't that long ago when the club was developing its juniors that there was multiple players sitting on a VFL list at 1pt...(Brain, O'Dwyer, etc). Now all of a sudden the hand has been extended. At least we know there is no shame up the highway...lol. BTW remind me again how many senior games of football young Jack played at Noosa bc i can't seem to remember him being able to crack a game in that 2016/17 side despite being in the best handful of players at the club.Mate we are the only club on the Coast that hasnt folded at some point in history so we know well and truly how to stand on our own two feet!
We are the only club in the comp without the advantage of having VFL listed players playing at 2 points!
Unfortunately for us our two boys are standing on their own two feet on the AFL list!

I bet Maroochy wished they had bloody Tom Sawyer in the early 2000sc'mon mate - that football club is starting to look like Tom Sawyer the way the hand is being held out each year for some sort of leg up.

You know I had no say in that decision... Mind you at least they had a team of the half century - Noosa went in bits and bobs and decided each decade would suffice... No hard calls made in tigerland these days - except if it means asking for assitance.. Might call you the "North Melbourne of the QAFL" lolI bet Maroochy wished they had bloody Tom Sawyer in the early 2000s
Shame FM!
Their 50year reunion and team of the half century will be something to look forward to next year!
Surely Simpson gets a gig in this one
I would argue no stronger rivalry - in fact there was a book written about sporting rivalries in Australian sport once and the Maroochy / Noosa one actually got a gig next to Carlton / Collingwood !!Always thought the rivalries on the GC were pretty strong, they clearly got us covered up there
