We'd need a sub-forum. Would BF admin give us one this early?

I think it's important for us as it'll be more difficult for supporters to get any info on GC players because there's not as much exposure to them.

Does anyone really know much about the 5 kids that have signed?
 
For now we are just going to have to create threads in their own names, and post any information available regarding each player in their own threads.

I have spoken to Admin re sub forum, and we will have one soon enough, but a few details have to be nutted out first, but I take your point, as this board is as much about draft picks and recruiting atm as it is about the club and match day information.

I think I would be pretty safe in suggesting that if/when Zac Smith runs out with Gold Coast in the AFL in 2011 he will be the first Biloela born AFL player.

I spent 6 mths in Rocky...would he be the first anything out of Biloela? :p
 
Scotty4, On friday, saturday and sunday this week there is like a draft camp like test situation for 16 and 17 year olds from all over Queensland to 'try out' for a 12month contract with the GC which would mean a contract to play in the TAC cup next year for the gold coast, i know this because my best mate up here got a letter for the trial..It is all in house and he is going to an info night Friday so i may be able to let you know a bit more once i get in contact with him that night..But yes from what i can gather it will probably be the best 16 turning 17 and 17 turning 18 year olds to tryout for the GC TAC cup team next year hope this answers your question...:)

I'm from rocky orignally and one of my good mates down there got Zac Smith into footy last year.. Very raw, but really tough and courageous something you wouldnt see in a 2nd year player..Has a big engine and can run all day but main thing that was highlighted was how he crashes packs and puts his body on the line...His skills improved dramitically over the duration of his time at Glenmore..He then relocated to Zillmere and was recruited from there...

Yeah, I think that the TAC competition is a fantastic idea by the AFL, and they probably should have done something similar with Fremantle in hindsight.

The AFL have really done this franchise a great service by giving them the amount of time to develop their players at AFL level, so they won't come into the competition and get flogged each week.

cheers mate thats sweet
i heard we signed joey daye?
 
Joseph Daye
Birth Date: 2/2/1990
Birth Place: Moe (Victoria)
Height: 194cm
Weight: 82kg

Joey is a second-year top-age State U18 player who was a 2007 member of the AIS/AFL Academy squad. He was a 2006 Queensland U16 representative who spent nine years playing with the Strathpine Swans. Joey made his senior AFLQ State League debut last year after switching to Zillmere. He was also a member of the Eagles' Reserves premiership side. He is a tall, athletic utility player who is capable of filling a wide variety of roles.

Zac Smith
Birth Date: 22/2/1990
Birth Place: Biloela (Qld)
Height: 204cm
Weight: 95kgs

Zac is an AFLQ Rookie Search graduate who hails from the soccer ranks in Rockhampton. A strong and athletic 204cm ruckman who is exceptionally quick for his size, he didn't take up football until the end of 2006 and is really in only his second year as a serious competitor. He joined Zillmere after moving to Brisbane this year, and impressed all with his athletic ability as a special invitee to the AIS Camp last December.
 
For the records, Biloela produced an All Australian Schoolboy for AFL in 1987.Who also played the following year in the Qld Teal Cup team. The same year became one of the youngest players to make his debut in the QAFL for club side Mayne. In an ironic twist I believe his son actually plays for the GC17. Being new to the game, holding down a top 22 position now for a number of weeks at both state and club level i believe must be a consideration for a high draft pick to a club looking to grow or build a team(West Coast eagles)(Melbourne)Who is he????????????
 
Whats the go with NT picks? There are a few good players from outside the nt that were born there that are playing really good state league footy. IMO Trevor Oliver, Peter Rolfe and Roland Ah Chee should definately sign on!!!
