QFA Div 4&5

Do you mind if I ask if you’re a new club trying to get into Fridays? And/or what club that is?

Kawana. Most people here know who I am so I’m happy to be open

Fair enough. Well good luck for the pre-season and hope next year goes well for you.

Thanks appreciate it. A mountain of work in front of us but the desire and enthusiasm is there

I don’t know who anyone really is on here outside of maybe a couple. Hahaha

Ok. I’ll then ask you the question. Why can players move up and down from seniors to ressies and vice versa on a Saturday with near no restrictions, but doing so on a Friday team so abhorrent?

because on a Saturday you are playing in a competition that has seniors and reserves, Friday night, last time I checked, they were 2 different comps called north and south. It's not for a footy club to decide which is more or less important to them and therefore make one comp more or less legitimate (in their own opinion).
The obvious issue would always be as well that if say for example the south comp had a couple of cracking sides in it that Coops had no chance of knocking over but saw the north comp as much slimmer pickings - which they only realised 6 -7 games in. Suddenly they do a 180' because the holy grail of winning a div 3 premiership can be realised and stack the north side because you are allowed to shift players left and right. Nah not for me. Pick a comp you want to play in and stick to it. And be made to stick to it.

Yeah totally agree SMY.If that’s the mindset then absolute garbage!

Agree SMY,

But now that more clubs will most likely have two teams in the Friday space next year. What are the requirements?

Do they have a restricted list like they do in the juniors with two teams? With the original team being the ‘seniors’ and allocate 15 or so blokes that can’t ‘drop’ or move to the other team. And what’s the requirement in players moving from the second side to the main side?

Have to wait and see I guess. But can’t have blokes just moving up and down willy nilly.

I think you’re over analysing it. The clubs that want to do it are prepping for Saturday’s in 2026. You’d assume aflq want as many clubs playing Saturday’s as possible and leaving Friday nights to 3rds and clubs that can only field one team.
