I understand the need to present certainty in player numbers to ensure a new team will prevail for the season ahead however it cannot possibly take 4 months to perform a fixture.

TBH as much as a head **** as it was hitting the milestones especially the player numbers it has done us a massive favour. We’ve been able to source and secure sponsorships order uniforms etc and are way ahead of where would be in Feb/march. Team is now training with certainty

Glad it has worked out for you guys. Hopefully the lads get stuck in and you have a great season.

Thanks first season is always going to be tough especially against the big boys from D3. But it’s exciting nevertheless and we honestly believe it will gain some serious momentum over the next few years. A womans team and Saturday footy is our next goal

Very early days and Friday night scene never stays the same.

But I think Caloundra and Maroochydore will be the two to beat again in SC. UQ will be strong again and I think Ferny Grove will get better in Central North. Moorooka and Coorparoo will be front runners in central south. And I think Pac Pines and Southport will be far above the rest of the GC teams.

Central south will have 15 or more teams if 3 teams get the 2nd sides up. Seems too many. It’s still a massive drive between Fernvale and Victoria Point.

The trip for Coomera (most northern GC team) to Coolangatta would be only 40 or so minutes (if good traffic). The drive from Redlands to Fernvale would be over an hour. Don’t forget to add Ipswich Eagles, Cats and Greater Springfield in that drive for Redlands and vice versa. Which are around about the hour mark as well.

And for the first point. Either Moorooka, Eagles and any other team with a second side has to have that side go north. Or else you’ll have a comp where you play everyone once only.

I think Ormeau are Gold Coast also.

As I understand Southport and Pac Pines are looking at 2nd sides as well. Where do their 2nd sides play? They can’t push to Brisbane South to make it approaching 20 teams.

Ah yes totally forgot about Ormeau. That’s still a decent drive down to Cooly.

Also depends on how transparent AFLQ have been about getting a second side.

So I guess the question above as to why teams needed to have their house in order by December is rather relevant judging by last few posts. Comp
Manager is going to need time to sort through it all.

There are pros and cons in having to have a deadline for numbers in the Friday night space more so in December. Because I would be surprised if struggling teams like Ipswich Cats would have provided adequate numbers by December. If that’s the requirements.

Only new licenses had to have lists sorted. Will be interesting how many are in trouble once it comes to pulling squads together for the strugglers.

A few years ago, might have been the half year after Covid, Ferny Grove did a last minute gather with Mavericks. Not sure how successful it was but it got them a team that year. Having some surety is important but also having some flexibility for these matters may be required again for this season.
