I never predicted that. I think you're looking in the mirror from about this time last year.

[Doug_Hondo]

I wasnt referring to u, a few people having indicated there are troubles at mounties..not the case.

[thomo44]

I guess we'll see in March when the Peter Foster of the AFLQ cuts his list back to 55. Lets see how many bloke give up footy and more importantly how many kids will give the game away. Great work Lake, you idiot.

He did a pretty good job with the u16 bushies in the past and one of the kids he use to coach has crossed from Morningside to Mt Gravatt (Guy Tarrant).

All clubs are in the same boat as far as having only 55 on a list, coaches have to be ruthless and it does get very hard as all clubs know when injuries mount up and theres limited permits allowed.

The players mentioned may have also followed the res coach over. Maybe they liked playing under Lake when he was at springwood too.

I guess this topic might be better suited to drafts and trading, but I'd love some talk on the 2007 Queensland draft prospects. Who are the outstanding kids going round at the mo? Doesn't seem to be much talk about it. After last year's effort, I thought it would make a good topic of conversation.

The NAB cup match between North Melb and Collingwood at Carrara on Feb 23rd will have the Gold Coast Stingrays vs South East Bushrangers in a trial match for the curtain raiser. Should be a good game and gauge as these are usually two of the three top sides (other is Northern Raiders) and last year 9 out of the 18 players got drafted/rookie listed out of these sides.

Wayne Carey to play a couple of games at PBC this year now that would be interesting, i know Craig O Brien has brought some quality players this year to Palmy but he would be something special. Might have to ask the question on how true it is to him tomorrow night.

According to another post on BigFooty (can't remember where) hes committed to calling 15 games and rumored to be playing a couple games with his nephew which doesn't leave him much time to play at PBC.

I could tell you morpheous but im not gonna. There is some really good players in there. A few boys that before they were at Broady all played at Southport together aswell. And with Palmy looking like that will play Zillmere(hopefully March 3rd) in the first practice game and Labrador(locked in for March 10th) in there 2nd in could be interesting to see how they go against them division 1 sides considering most of there players have played div 1 footy with some even higher.

Hey Morpheous, I hear theres some good home-grown talent at Redlands, and that Odgers is excited about the young kids coming through. Tell us a bit about them. I suppose they at least come from the Redlands area, and arent pinched by Redlands, unlike Mt G. and "Peter Foster" and his band of pirates. Rumour has it that Mt G have been "networking" and getting quite a few over to join their 16's and 18's. I guess thats where being an ex-Bushies coach comes in handy.

Man Mt Gravatt has been doing all that for soo long its not funny, some Taipans players have been told over the years that moving to Mt Gravatt would help their cause in making the side. So by no means a new phenomena, but these players tend to last only a year or two before they come to their senses.

Yeah Toddy's right.

As far as the good young players coming through we've got about 10 kids in the u18 Bushies squad of 25 and most of them will be bottom age players this year. We've got 2 players who are both 18 this year who played all bar 1 game each of seniors last year and yes there wasn't much competition for places last year but both of the former under 8 team mates held their own. One of them finished in the top 3 of the club medal and the other won the award for best first year player for the 18 Bushies.

And looking at that top 6 its going to be another long year for the bombers with 3 of that top 6 in Howard, Wells and Robinson not playing there this season. You can also add O'Shea and Ackerly. Plus the experinces of Bell and Dennelly to that list. All top ten players for redland last year imo. back to square 1 for redlands!

my apologises i was wrong.

Dont think Redlands are in a position to say they wont miss any player even if they didnt play much. They needed to pick up 10 top line senior players and not lose any especially not 5 of their top 10 including their captian and vice captain to have any real impact.

Is there a further update on Aspley's plans, Tucky? I have been hearing quite a bit about Aspley's aspirations for 2007, including some bold predictions not just for top 4, but for a quick burst straight to no. 1. I think that's great for the club and for the league to have success at some different clubs, but it would be great to get some further information on the club's activities. A pity Brent Evans couldn't have had a better list to back up his coaching efforts a couple of years ago - one of the better players in the comp.

It'll certainly be a big year for Division 2, with what seem to be much stronger sides. For mine, I think Western Magpies look like going from the premier team last year to an even better team in 07. Their professionalism, together with recruiting efforts, look like providing them with more success.

Palm Beach, with their many recruits from Broady, look like a return to top 4. Interestingly, the successful pre-season recruiting in 06 for Coolangatta (5 odd players in the rep. side, and 3 or 4 of those going on to Qld country side) didn't provide any fruit.

Noosa will remain strong for at least another year, with a couple of handy pick ups, and a strong desire to go one further.

Will be good to see what other teams can get amongst these 3 (and 4 including Aspley).

http://www.aflq.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&aid=115007

Tassie ace returns to Redland

Highly rated forward Michael Thompson is back at Redland after returning to Tasmania early last season.

Thompson, 21, was recruited by the Bombers after starring in the 2005 Southern Tasmania grand final.

Playing for New Norfolk against Clarence, he was the difference between the two teams and won the Horrie Gorringe Medal for the best player on the ground.

He arrived at Redland in early 2006 when the club was in the midst of a most unstable period which eventually saw the departure of coach David Hart for family reasons.

Thompson went back to Hobart after the opening six weeks of the AFLQ season and helped New Norfolk to the preliminary final.

He kicked five goals and starred in the side’s first semi final win over Hobart, but was the focus of Glenorchy’s defense in the preliminary and was shut out of the game.

Redland has turned around its off-field fortunes since Thompson’s departure, with club development manager Craig Millar and full-time coach Gary Odgers bringing much needed stability and respect with their efforts.

The bonus for Redland is that Thompson has been training strongly and brought his brother Robert with him.

Both are strong-bodied key position players, although Michael is not overly tall and was used on a wing and at centre-half-forward by the overwhelmed Bombers last season.

Robert was a regular member of the New Norfolk side and both will be good players for the Bombers with a bit of support around them.

Apparently Springwood were paying $40 a win for senior players last year, and they were fairly successful... Now thats not doing it for money....

No doubts some of the bigger names would be getting a bit more.

Apparently Springwood were paying $40 a win for senior players last year, and they were fairly successful... Now thats not doing it for money.... I guess this is why Tamburro would never play for them. I know Morningside never has really payed their players well, should see the results of that this year! Many are moving on...

Case 1-How many clubs have you heard say they have no money and their players are doing it for the love of the game or the club? A friend of mine's son was going to "train with Springwood" last week (his dads words). Apparently Springwood were willing to pay as much as $300 per game.
Case 2- Logan Cobras paid out $17,000 in player payments last year. I heard it straight from the horses mouth,(but won't elaborate further in case I give away the person who was very high up in their committee). Not bad for Division 5 footy.
Case 3- Broady offered 2 brothers $450 per game this season if they played with the cats.

We know what clubs mean when they say -"We don't pay our players".

$17,000 in total player payments isn't much for a season, considering the state league salary cap is $100k if memory serves me correct.

And I believe most of the Zillemere players who have been there for a few years are playing for the love of the game.

Logan Cobras play in the lowest division where the salary cap was $8000. AFLQ is $100,000.
Funny too how Zillmere play for the love of the game yet they sent their juniors to the wall 5 years or so ago. It was the senior player payments that left the junior club without sufficient funds to pay their debts to the junior league. Why would Zantuck play for nothing when Mt G. could pay him as much money as Whitey? alllll clubs pay players. Even Morningside.

I think Whitey playing at Mt Gravatt is similar to when Champion played at Mayne.

Zillemere yes have gone broke a few times but I believe this wasn't due to player payments but more to do with lack of sponsorship and money coming in.

Thats not what I've been told Re- Zillmere. Morphous (I spelt your name right this time),You need to understand aLLLLLL.... clubs pay their players I know of many clubs who deny it. Obviously telling people your willing to pay big bucks results in big payments being asked for by the player. If we say we don't pay players, we keep it under our hat, and the occasional sucker plays for petrol money and no more. Just ask Lenny.
But not to worry. Tell me more about redlands. And do you play for them? If not , why not?

I don't play for them, I can't walk. My brother plays for them and I use to be on the committee a few years ago.

[bananabenda]

Well, thats a good reason not to play. I'm sure you would play for the Sharks if you could walk. Is your brother still a junior? or is he a senior player now?

Hey Tucky 16, Why don't Aspley have a crack at AFLQ . Redlands stepped up to the plate( and I think the best times are yet to come for that club), There is only Zillmere on the North of town. With the strength of your juniors you would quickly become a force. Is it too costly? the salary cap is $100,000. Or is your ground too small? I think Northside should field 2 teams as should the West side have at least one.

He started seniors last year
