I'm sure that would come as a surprise to the bloke from Maroochydore showing off the medal on their social media pages!

Ross won the league goalkicking, and basically every other medal available

Shane Brew won the BnF from Maroochydore for div 3 north as you say.

Is he a former div 1 or QAFL Maroochydore player thatā€™s come down to finish playing. Or is he a genuine Friday night player?

Div 3 South - Will McAdam (Coorparoo)*
Div 3 North - Quentin Ross (Caloundra)
Div 4 South - Justice Kennedy (Eagles)
Div 4 North - Will Hueppauff (Sandgate)

*Noting Jacob Huisman from Collingwood Park won the count but was ineligible.

Freddy has lodged a new rule to AFLQ that states that all these players, and those in the top 5, are to be ineligible for Friday night footy in 2025 and must now repent for their sins and report to him for allocation to a Saturday team.

Who is Freddy?

I understand to some itā€™s just ā€˜socialā€™ footy. But itā€™s a bit unfair to bring along the Friday night comps BnFā€™s to the community awards night and not even bother to post them on SEQ Footy or AFLQ fb pages.

Only found out who won div 3 and 4 south due to the winners own clubs posting it. Who won div 3 and 4 north?

they no longer include any tickets in the competing clubs rego either.

We have never attended really, but for the clubs where its their senior side, would be nice to have a table and bring along volunteers etc

Until each competition or at least a few, get together and run their own end of year vote count it will continue to spiral into nothing as league not really interested in anything outside just running the game.

It is pretty clear when most good things we had in any competition are being scaled back or canned.

Friday Night should do their own vote count night and could do a better job. Then Div 1 and both Div 2ā€™s join together for theirs. Then all the women do same for their competitions.

Would be more sociable night and probably could read votes out for at least half games in every competition and not be as jammed packed as it is now.

You could have it at a local pub and throw in some meat tray raffles in between votes. Wouldnā€™t that be good!

having not attended, i don't know how they do it.

We have our club B&F this Friday.

6 x Senior teams, exactly 50 awards (including perpetuals and off field, plus a new life membership)

~220 guests

It's bloody hard to fit all that in, so a League medal night with 10+ competitions must be bloody hard to rush through everything!

I went to the Brisbane Lions B&F for the past 2 seasons, shocked me that they don't even do a round by round count at AFL level anymore. They broke it into 4 lots.

Any other teams looking to come in to the Friday night space?

Increased affiliation costs may scare a few off, apparently the affiliation fees are up 30% for next season (speculated that increase in insurance and umpiring fees amongst the causes)
 
With the new proposed zone comps I have concerns for teams not wanting to play the ex-Div3 teams, and to be honest vice versa.

Itā€™s gonna get ugly before the heralded promised ā€œteams will find their levelā€ occurs. Just hope that doesnā€™t turn players and teams away.

Happens in all levels of footy across Australia. Not many comps where there is less than a 100pts difference bn top and bottom.

The attraction of less travel will bring players in. I know our guys are excited by the fact they donā€™t need to leave the Sunny Coast unless itā€™s Moreton or Redcliffe. But being a new club (providing we obtain our licence) we donā€™t really know where weā€™ll sit in the grand scheme of things
 
Much better than travelling 200+ km to get a similar result. Players will play at this level of footy when they know it's a short trip, not because its a super competitive game.

It already gets very ugly in most comps, most years. Same results, different name.

There will be 200 point smashings and clubs will be effected. The ones saying it will find its level are always at state league clubs. It will hurt some for sure

We won the flag in 2021 and 2022 and lost a prelim in 2023. We lost multiple games in Div 3 by 150 points this year, we probably woukd have gone to Div 4 if this change didn't happen. (and no, its not just because I stopped playing :) )

Stuff changes, but localising the comps has always been something I reckon is the best outcome.
