Zantuck gets all-clear at AFLQ tribunal
Zillmere Eagles full forward Ty Zantuck is clear to represent Queensland in the 10 June clash with the ACT in Canberra after getting the all-clear from the AFLQ tribunal tonight.
In a marathon hearing, he was found not guilty on two separate striking charges and fined $100 for an abusive gesture towards an umpire.
So, he is clear to play for Zillmere this week against Labrador, and is eligible for the State side that will defend the Phil Harper Cup in the national capital.
Zantuck, the former Richmond and Essendon player who has been a boom addition to the Eagles ranks this year, was sent off in the second quarter of last Saturday's big win over Broadbeach at O'Callaghan Park.
He was booked on two charges of striking the Cats' Brendan Trew and Damien Lyon, and making a threatening gesture towards an umpire.
But in a hearing which lasted more than two hours, he beat the two striking charges and was found guilty on the offensive gesture.
One of my spies tell me that this whole report was one of the greatest jokes of modern times. Apparently, Lyon was "belting" Zantuck throughout the first qtr with Zantuck getting no protection from the umpires.
When Zantuck finally reacted in the 2nd qtr, then the two "Cats" got into him. The word is that Zantuck was very unlucky to be the one reported.

He is due to be released out of hospital today. :)
It's interesting to note the the big news on the AFL Qld website is all about Zantuck being reported and the result of that report.
There is no comment about or suggestion of any investigation into the incident involving the Redland player. If it was a "king-hit" as suggested on another post, then I would hope that something is happening to either punish the guilty party or clear the situation as not a "king-hit".

It was a king-hit, I was at the game and there are witness'. I believe the AFLQ are conducting an investigation into what happened and probably want to make sure they have all their facts straight before they take any action.

Here we go, Round 6 in the AFLQ Div 2:
* Palm Beach will have nothing to show for their petrol bills this week, Noosa to win
* Something makes we want to tip Maroochydore this week, but I stepped on it and killed it, Sherwood to win
* Sandgate to take the points over Surfers
* Springwood V Aspley? Strewth, is that a serious question? Just in case it is, Springwood.
* Its a big field Burleigh. Probably dead, hard, and dry. Grange aren't going to like it this week. Burleigh to win.
* I notice that Mayne V Coolangatta has been moved to Coorparoo. Does that mean that Everton has been condemned again? Does anyone know? With this drought continuing, how many more grounds are on the verge of being shut down? Oh yeah, a tip - Coolangatta by 24 points.
Good luck everyone.
Very interesting round this one.
I'm with the Toucan man on Maroochy. Something is making me want to tip them, and I'm not going to squash it. The Roos to win.
Sandgate to post an important win against Surfers.
I would have liked the Pumas v Hornets game as the margin tip this week. 120, 150, 200, does anybody want to raise me? Pumas in a canter.
Grange to get over Burleigh in a tight one.
Noosa will be too good for Palmy. They look like they might be mounting something this year.
And in the margin match I will go for Mayne to win by 17 points.
ok lets get off the bottom now!!!

From what I was told on Saturday afternoon no but maybe Doug has heard something since.
Good to have the footy back after a week off.
Again I'm not sure what the margin game is but I suggest Noosa v Magpies would be a good choice.
Burleigh to account for Aspley by 64
Noosa in an upset of sorts over the Magpies by 22
Grange to account for the disappointing PBC by 29
No surprises for the Pumas - will get home by 43
Cooly over Sandgate by 17
Maroochy to take care of Surfers by 31

Let's get AFLQ News back to the top of the Regional Leagues section again, at least for a moment.
* Burleigh will keep Aspley's year of misery uninterrupted - Burleigh by 48.
* On the smaller ground at Sherwood, the Magpies will win by 10 points - and I am also tipping a report or two.
* Wilston Grange will roll Palm Beach by 40.
* Springwood over the Mayne nomads by 61 (gotta love a prime number).
* Coolangatta will surprise everyone with a 56 point win over Sandgate.
* And a 25 point win to Maroochydore over Surfers.
Or, I might be completely wrong.
Sorry guys noosa vs magpies is the margin game.

DH or Lenny29 - how was the game against Noosa. I've seen you blokes play but haven't had a look at the Tigers. A close finish, so must have been a bit of a scare. Do you think they are right in the mix this year, or was it more a matter of playing on that terrible ground of theirs bringing you guys back to them? I really rated them last year, but thought that the loss of McLean would really hurt. It seems they are going along quite nicely.
I think it might be down to 3 chances at the moment - Springwood, Western Magpies and Noosa. Can anyone see any other team gathering a bit of momentum over the rest of the season?

After being unceremoniously dropped I had a great view from the sideline of the seniors game. Noosa raced out of blocks kicked the first 5 or 6 before the Pumas awoke from their slumber and dominated for the next 2 quarters before surviving a late scare in the last (mind you it was a 34 minute quarter.) It was a great match and they are a very competitive team especially considering they were missing Luke Matthews on Saturday(BOG in the rep game.) They don't play grand finals in Noosa and I doubt they can perform at that same level away from home as the drive certainly takes it out of you, however if they can lookout. That young bloke Hicks goes alright, excellent kick and takes a good grab.
I agree Augie its out of the top 3 teams- Pumas, Noosa and Maggies, we haven't played Burleigh yet but i reckon we should be able to get over the top of them comfortably.

At least you guys (and probably the whole division) had better umpiring then we did in our game.
I wouldnt write off burleigh but certainly with cooly and grange's poor start to the season it would appear to be down to three. Mind you Palmy came from 7th to be a finalist, beating pumas and maggies at home. I must say that i have enjoyed the fact that cooly and grange arent doing as well as they expected because they talked themselves up big time.... while magpies, springwood and noosa just went about their business.

They came from 5th last year.
They came from 5th last year.
Gee DH I thought you might also correct Toddy re Springwood quitely going about their business, given your tooting of the Puma train's horn.
Have they rushed you back into the 1s for the game this week? I would hope that you spent the week letting everyone at the club know that Noosa wouldn't have got near you had you been out there.
I reckon this week presents the biggest challenge so far re tips. There are probably only two, maybe three, games that are givens - the rest should be very interesting. I get the impression that everyone waits for my tips and whenever there is a game that might be close to a 50/50 just does the opposite to what I do. I'd have to say that is not a bad way to go about it - terrible tipster me.
But here goes anyway.
Grange to upset the Pumas by 13 points (using the George Costanza theory of doing the exact opposite of what you think)
Mayne to get over Surfers by 22
Burleigh over Noosa by 17 - the long drive after the tough game last week might be too much for the Tigers
PBC v Maroochy I have no idea - maybe PBC by 23
The other two should be fairly straight forward (and I'm not prepared to extend the Costanza theory this far)- Cooly to win by 56 and the Magpies by 63.

The Puma train steams on I dont need to point it out everyone can see the dominance of our performances.
Despite my talkings and performances I have again been overlooked despite a few injuries from the Nossa game, seem to be a bit out of flavour at the lair.

Surfers over Mayne by 57
Noosa over Burleigh by 6
Palm Beach over Maroochydoore by 10
Coolie to beat aspley by 60

The "Pineapple Hotel Cup Crap" thread - (no criticism of the Pineapple Hotel intended)
Who cares about Burleigh, Coolly or Grange or for that matter Aspley!
So what if Springwood wins the flag - if Buswell and Lynn can still get a kick the competition all but shot!
Get into the the real AFLQ - Morningside, Eagles, Southport, etc.
What about the important stuff:
How is Zantuck's fitness?
Has Lillico "sniped" another 17 y.o. recently?
How will Southport go without B. McEntee?
Is it true that David Round could beat "Boonie's" record and still fly the plane?
The real issues!

From the Redland Bombers website.
WIRTH Plays 100th Game for Redland
DEREK Wirth will play his 100th State League match for the Redland Bombers this Sunday against Morningside at the Redland Football Club.
The long-serving tall begun his career with Springwood AFC before moving to MtGravatt for three seasons. Wirth was then recruited to the Brisbane Bears in 1996 playing senior AFL football in 1998. Wirth played a season with Geelong in 1999 before settling back in Queensland with the Redland Football Club in 2000.
Making the move with former Vulture team-mates in Dion Scott, Brad Jones, Shane Dupay, Jamie Dobbs, Shaun Ellis, Ben Harman and current teammate Travis Bell, Wirth came to the newly formed State League side in the Redland Bombers. ‘Deka’ has seen many changes at Redland since being among the best at centre half forward in the 2001 finals series.
Wirth explains “Our current group of players are young but very talented and will no doubt develop quickly with more senior experience. It is an honour to play 100 games with this club and I know we are heading in the right direction as a group under new coach Gary Odgers”
Wirth’s mobility as a key position and accuracy as a tap ruckman has seen the 27 year old become one of the leagues most consistent performers. As the big No.18 enjoys his sixth season with Redland he would no doubt be looking for improved success in years to come and to continue leaving his mark on state league football. Best Wishes Deka.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dereks has had probably his best year for us this year and has been great for our young players always there giving advice and encouragement. Even running 40 yards to pat a young kid on the back for a good 2nd effort tackle etc.
Good luck Big D.

Its okay with me if you want to change the name of the thread.
Hell, I don't know this week - its the wrong time of night to do this, but here goes:
* Springwood over the Gorillas 6-3, 6-1, 6-7, 6-2
* Surfers Paradise over Mayne by 6 lengths
* PBC over Maroochydore by 4 wickets
* Coolangatta over Aspley 0-0, but 6-5 after penalty shoot-out
* Sherwood over Sandgate, King's Knight takes Rook, Checkmate (I don't even know if that's the correct terminology)
* And serious now (the bonus point is at stake), a huge boilover with Burliegh winning at home by 37 points, and consequently making a move on the Top Three.
Here's to "real" Queensland football - the AFLQ, QFL, QAFNL, QAFL, QSFL, SQAFA, BAFL, AFLSQ, GCAFL, SCAFL, DDAFL. The rest of you are just kidding yourselves!
No injuries anywhere this week. Good luck everyone!

Is Scotty Easdown still going around at Morningside, and if so, how is he going?
And for those bagging this Div 2 comp - I'd have to say I didn't know it existed, but ALL football is important.
That's right, ALL football.
Just because you don't follow it, doesn't make it any less so for the 240-odd players that run out to play for the 12 clubs involved every week.
What would you say when people said the club you support or play for 'isn't important' or 'who cares'?
Stick with it fellas, it's great to see that there is a lot more footy being played in Queensland than just the AFLQ Division One that we hear (little) about down here in Sydney.
A couple of interesting results on the weekend with the Pumas losing their first of the season and Noosa belting Burleigh. The Pumas just looked to me like they were missing a bit of their spark. I admit I have only seen them play twice this year, but there was definitley a lot more fire about them the first time I saw them than they had on Saturday. Given that they are a very good side I would suggest that the loss might not be too bad a thing for them. It could be that they set themselves for the game against Noosa, had a good win and let Grange sneak under the radar.
Did anyone catch Noosa v Burleigh? I don't think Noosa having a win was too much of a shock, but the margin certainly was.
So are Burleigh gone? And has Grange come into calculations? We could get an insight into both issues this weekend, with Grange travelling to the mudhole to face Noosa and Burleigh facing the huge task of travelling to face a Pumas outfit on the rebound.
Not much talk of reserves footy on this thread, but given one of our key posters tells us he has been dropped to the 2s for Springwood I can't let this pass. I saw the Pumas 2s for the second time this year and they are incredible for a reserves side. I have never seen a reserves team deliver the ball to their forwards the way the Pumas did on Saturday. I reckon on what I saw they would beat a few of the senior teams running around. So DH - were you one of those putting the ball lace out or where you up forward taking the easy marks and having the rest of the team make you look good?
Those who are unaware of the skill level in reserves football (in div2) are suprised by hitting of targets when watching the games. It has been something ive pondered whether some of the top reserve sides would fair against the likes of Aspley, Sandgate, Mayne and PBC. I think that the only thing about the reserve competition is that after the top 4-5 sides there is a drop in class. Having played against the Springwood reserves side of which would have changed since that time, they have a number of players who would be senior starters in most other sides.

Here It Is, Easy's now a Springwood player, has been the last couple of years. Gets his 70 touches a game :)
We've had a ridiculously strong twos team for probably four of the last five weeks, I'd reckon the top 8-10 in it could be interchangeable with the bottom 8-10 of the senior side and there would be no discernable dropoff in class. I'd dare say, augie, that the reason we looked so impressive hitting our forwards was that we didn't have retards that can't kick (ie me) running off half back! :)

Well Augstar glad you made the effort to come watch the great man in action, I was minutes away from being recalled to the seniors with a Dave Bennet pulling out with injury only to be denyed as Lingy was rushed in...So I played my 2s game and as you said Augie the delivery from the half back line into the forwards (in particular from one bloke wearing a yellow sweat band) was nothing short spectacular (don't you agree monk?)...So with my 3rd consecutive appearence in the 'best' list on the website im sure to be knocking on the seniors door...
P.S- It did help that Lenny didnt play, i much prefer receiving the ball on the chest rather then having to pick up half volleys or skied kick outs with the opposition bearing down on me...

Harsh but fair.
Gee you know things are changing in footy when people are wearing yellow sweatbands and various bright coloured boots.
And how the 2s pre-game uniform at Springwood has changed over the last few years. Flannelette shirts and mocassins turfed out for slacks and black shoes. Must drive the wives and girlfriends mad that you dress as well for a game of footy as you do for a wedding!

'Southport will wear Collingwood jumpers, Broadbeach are in Geelong’s heritage jumper, and the Suncoast Lions are in red and yellow of the Sunshine Coast.
Morningside are in white with a red V, Redland are in the old red, white and black Sharks jumpers, Mt.Gravatt in blue with a white sash, Zillmere in blue with a yellow sash, and Labrador in yellow with a black yoke.'

Just wondering how Burleigh are looking this year? Bloke playing with us in Victoria this year played with them last couple of seasons, and was just wondering if they're any chance for three in a row?

Burleigh has had a slow start - but they're not that far off the pace now. There's a few really dominant teams (Springwood, Sherwood, Noosa, maybe even Grange now) - but get to the finals, and the whole season can change quickly. Given their recent past, I wouldn't rule them out completely - but they are up against it this year.
Morphous, would have liked if Redlands went even further back than the premiership jersey, back to the original SQAFA gear. Always kinda looked very close to Morningside's gear from memory. Or what about Victoria Point? (Everyone in the BAFL in 98/99 would be a little nervous seeing a Redlands jersey though.)

At the risk of hurting the feelings of anyone who would rather only the eight clubs of the AFLQ Div 1 ever be discussed on this thread, I'm going to take things a division further down to the State Association to say:
Congratulations to University of Queensland who celebrate their milestone of 50 years of Senior Football this weekend. An excellent achievement in the "rise-and-fold" environment of SE Queensland football.
The game against Yeronga will be the 105th time the two clubs have met in Seniors since 1956. Its quite a history that is either ignored or lost in obscurity.
Well done to the Red Lions - hope you have a great night, but not too great a day!

We wore that jumper last year. In 98/99 Springwood were the only side to beat us, how times change.
