QFA Div 2 North

[smy1305]

Maybe instead of looking for the negatives maybe a thanks to North Shore for helping out and to Gympie to make sure they had 22 so the players they had and Alex got a game! This is what community football is all about helping out! We all know Gympie are fighters and they will ensure games go ahead it may just depend on which club could potentially help them out. There are plenty of other clubs that have to travel up and reach out for loan players.

Spot on - there isn't just the one club up this way short on players either. Nth Shore have had a glut this year with over 40 blokes on their list I think. At least their guys get a game too if they have paid their rego.

 

[smy1305]

Because other clubs have fallen on their swords and gone and rebuilt.

Others haven’t had the level of help from others.

You have to hand it to them they scrap and fight but it seems inevitable the forfeits will come and then they will be relegated

thats exactly right - for whatever reason the powers at Gympie prefer to play Saturday footy and battle through week to week. Not my idea of fun tbh but good on them for resilience. maybe they feel that if they went to Friday night then they wouldn't have enough guys commit to even fill one side?

 

[smy1305]

Then play Wide Bay. They won a flag there only a few years ago. Had plenty of players then

TBF if they can get a side up each week (or most) in both grades then its probably okay that they play where ever they want to play. Must be some huge phone bills Mon-Fri though

It's further to travel to play wide bay and I believe they won the flag the year they merged with Pomona. Looking at their list I can't see too many from that flag year still at the club so naturally you struggle for wins when premiership players move on and then it's a case of no one wanting to play for a losing side. They'll be fine for the year (hopefully) other clubs that can will happily help when required, but in saying that they need to look at the Friday night comp and not wide bay.

 

[StillGotIt]

How would playing Fridays work though?

 

[freddyfudrucker]

Can’t see HQ putting them in Fri. Clubs wouldn’t be getting home til 2am.

Unless they make a further travesty of Fri night football and let them play all their games on a Saturday like roos and jets.

 

[Thommo 42]

Roos only play on Saturday against clubs that agree.

there is no big conspiracy where they just run their own show and do as they like. they don't get special treatment, they respectfully ask other clubs if they would like to play on Saturday and some of them say yes.

 

[smy1305]

Jets playing 4 games out of 18 on a Saturday - wouldn't say thats a massive chunk.

 

[PREETY_FLY]

rd 5 - my tips

HINTERLAND v Ipswitch
Jinderlee v MAROOKA
YERONGAv Gympie
REDCLIFFE v Kedron

And did I read somewhere the opposition clubs were quite happy about the Saturday game?

Who knows, making a weekend up the coast of it might be fairly attractive to your average Div 3/4 player

The games were at the request of the oppo sides from my understanding, not Jets.

 

[freddyfudrucker]

Blues
Roosters
Devils
Red Legs

Interesting results today. Was Hinterland Ipswich score correct? Saw Hinterland/Kedron last week, not a flowing game. Then Redcliffe towelled Kedron up today. Gympie a 'brave' loss?

 

[the doc 70]

Blues scores are correct. Was a mud heap. On a clear day it would have been another 10 goals minimum.

Interesting Redcliffe and Kedron scores. Kedron played very well last week.

that's a shame for the comp Doc, irrespective that your mob ended up on the right side of that score. Don't think any player enjoys that sort of domination.

 

[smy1305]

And Knight kicked 17. Bloody hell.

Haha wow not a bad day out for the bloke

In a mud pit as well.
Bloody impressive.

Does he get the 100 this year?

 

[the7thranger]

Does he get the 100 this year?

You would think so. The bottom 3 seem like they are a long way from the top of the pack, therefore you would think he will kick some big bags against each of them which will help his cause. But the reality is him kicking 100 is worth nothing if they can't win the flag, and he really struggled on GF day last year to have an offensive impact against good opposition in a high pressure game, where he didn't get his own way. Seemingly, his opponent won that battle comfortably.

In record time

not that good, decent Div 1 player, probably fringe senior and good ressies player in QAFL.

how is this attitude seeping into community footy, honestly. this isn't the pro leagues where tens of millions of dollars are spent on the one objective; if he kicks 100, has a great time doing so and then loses the GF, that's not "nothing"

Especially as a small forward/mid
