Feel like Sandgate would be the most likely, have had a desire for a while to get back to the highest level after being dumped from the QAFL that half decade ago so feel as though they would like to come up soon. Alex hills have been successful for a couple years now so also a strong possibility. Kenmore also, feel in Yeronga’s case they would need some on field success to translate the possibility of being in Div 1 again. Me personally wouldn’t mind seeing Burleigh &/or Bond come up into Div 1 again. Would be good to see some representation for the Gold Coast in the Div 1 comp, would be an easier sell nowadays also with no Maroochydore/Noosa there to deal with thumpings for a 3 hour drive. Main issue would be leaves that Div 2 South Comp to pretty much nothing after that if you take them out. Have seen in the last couple years that the gap between the top of Div 2 to Div 1 isn’t as big as previously thought with Beenleigh, Moreton & Hinterland being more than competitive in the comp. Who knows though, with the way things are going at Mt Gravatt could very well see them back at Div 1 level in 2025 as I’d imagine there wouldn’t be 13 teams in the QAFL.With Coorparoo heading off in 2025 I'm interested in thoughts re a replacement side/s in div1. Plenty to choose from, burleigh, cooly, carrara, bond all going well down south and kenmore, Alex Hills, sandgate strong in the north. Maybe a smokey, maybe it's yeronga who seem to building ok. I wonder if any of these clubs have a desire to move up? Interesting year ahead if any of them do. Apologies if I've missed some obvious ones.

You make an interesting point with the above players and I am sure the club will look into it.50 points to play with in QAFL and there are plenty of Coorparoo juniors playing QAFL footy around the traps that they may have their eye on to bring home as 1 pointers for 2025.
Jack Rolls, Jake Fazldeen, Elijah Glass, Josh Coombes would be a good starting point
Both sunny coast teams looking to have lost a few but no doubt they would’ve picked a few up as well, especially Caloundra, always seem to have a few decent pick ups during the off season. Looks like Moreton have had a couple handy recruits announced too. Everyone else seems to be pretty quiet on the recruitment front on social media at least anyway but I’m sure that come round 1 there will be some pretty handy new talent at each clubCaloundra seem to have lost a few handy ones to Div 2 clubs, any arrivals of note?
Or for other clubs?
So Moreton Bay have got a good one on getting Sam Gribble.
How does Beenleigh go this year? They fell off quite significantly last year from their grand final appearance the year before. A lot of older players but also still some quality mature age and some youngsters.
UQ, what do they need to do to ensure their seniors make finals. They have always been the whipping team. However last year they definitely closed the gap. They play a very scrappy style of game which perhaps speaks of the skills of their players. But they are a massive improvement in 2023. They lost a few very close games which, had won, could have pushed them into that 5th spot. Also, my understanding is that they can’t sell alcohol due to being on uni grounds? Lots of money lost in that aspect. Be great to see them near the top.
Crozier is a massive loss for them. They were a totally different team when he played for them.No Saxon Crozier will see them get much worse.
Beenleigh lost 4 or 5 players to Jindalee with new coach. Heard they battling a bit with numbersCrozier is a massive loss for them. They were a totally different team when he played for them.
Looks as though Mayne, Moreton & Hinterland have had some decent recruits come across. Beenleigh been very quiet on that front, Coorparoo look to have picked up some very handy additions. Haven’t heard anything from Springwood. Caloundra seem to have lost a big bunch of them so will be interesting to see how they go. Season is coming up fast, can’t wait to see how this comp goes again. Seems every year it is extremely competitive and tight.
No current season stats available
Trained with the Buffs Tuesday night as he has consistently through preseason, so doubt that.Brodie Murdoch apparently going to Sherwood?
Have heard that, could be a bit of a depth issue for them this year, still have some very good upper level talent but especially in this league if your 15th-25th best players aren’t up there could spell for a long year especially if injuries happen as they did with Beenleigh last yearBeenleigh lost 4 or 5 players to Jindalee with new coach. Heard they battling a bit with numbers
How do they ago about signing/paying players? I’d assume the club would do self fundraisers to help them in that cause? Or or there other avenues that they do to help them? I heard a strong rumour a few years ago that AFLQ had given them a grant to build a new field or facilities where they play now as the old footy ground right at the front of the uni was no longer being used for footy at least. But the uni had taken that money and put the red lions back a year or two without a home field. So instead they played their home games at west juniors and even played out at the AFL field at Griffith Uni!The facility at UQ is managed by the university. The bar area is licensed and sells booze however this revenue goes to the uni, not the footy club (or soccer club for that matter, who we share The Pavilion with).
Its a university club. You’d assume only UQ students would play for them. Why else would you play there?How do they ago about signing/paying players?

True, that then begs the question on how they even got into QAFL then with such a small pool of players to choose from.Its a university club. You’d assume only UQ students would play for them. Why else would you play there?
maybe the biggest pool of players, talent was one thing that was missingWhen they were in the QAFL, they had 5 x mens teams and would have had the biggest pool of senior talent in QLD
Have had plenty of emerging talent.maybe the biggest pool of players, talent was one thing that was missing
It’s all about senior premiership's and they are the champs of reserve grade flags, so all that emerging talent has never delivered for them in at 2pmHave had plenty of emerging talent.
