I saw the tail end of Broadbeach v Redlands Broady by 60 points.

yeah mate we went alright ay we beat the western magpies by about 10 goals at aspley. we played alright we have a lot of new players and that so it was good. I am not sure if we will be in Div 1 or 2 yet, anbd im not sure which one i wanna be in. I got a feeling we wont be good enough for Div 1 but too good for Div 2. so we will see what happens.

Just a bit of a sideline, but where can one find the under 18 draw, and the divisions? AFLQ aren't helping, Its not easy finding anything on their site. Perhaps they aren't interested in anything other than the 18's scorpions. Lift your game Griffith.

average.Like a mooney.Wild wild man.damned good footy player.BOG by a country mile for them.
They were odd as a team.The whole lot looked, beefed up.Not like your normal 18 yr olds, if you know what I mean.
Abs defined, leg muscles too boot.Ran and ran.They had been in full AFL type training for a long while,and appeared to have resources to get them to that stage as well.
Not like most of the rest of the teams.

Yep, only reason Caloundra made div 1 was because they thrashed Western Maggies.
But they struggled against Labrador in the grading games who are in div 2.
I know Caloundra had a lot of players missing but, Broady has to be in div 1.

They only won game last season and that was vs Southern Districts who are also quite crap.
They did however show some good signs in the grading games...Did anyone else see thier ruckman?? He looked about 26...:eek:

Aspley to make the top three, have always been a power house club and should be no exception this year (even though they're dogs) Broady to beat The Sharks in the Granny.
Caloundra to get flogged:D :p

I've heard 22, 23, 24 but never 26 before...
Good thing is this season Caboolture have Glasshouse and *cough* Nambour *cough* to pick apart this season so there's at least 4 wins ;)
I think Aspley stand a chance at taking the Div 1 out this season. Only real competition is Broadbeach who, well, looked like a side that could decimate just about Under 18's side. The Magpies though, they just kept getting flogged.
Mt. Gravatt in Div 2? Strewth the South West comp looks to be amazingly strong this season

I was hoping you'd pop your head around here sometime soon:D :p
Aspley have always had a very strong side, and with most of Southports gun U/18's playing either ressies or seniors I think they are out of the race this year.
I reckon Broady will take it out again, they have a very strong side this year and love to run the ball. Look out for thier FF...Dominates.

How much did you beat them by Hotpies?
Caloundra would have been in Div 1 last year if we had of beaten aspley...instead we got into a punch on and lost.
I Still don't believe Caloundra will make finals this year.
However, Please prove me wrong:) You will struggle against sides like Mt Gravatt, Broady and the sharks to an extent.

Cupper went alright kicked 4 goals all in the first half.

Just a couple of things that reek about under 18 football in QLD-
I journeyed to Toowoomba with a friend a month ago, His son plays for Surfers under 18's. Now Surfers are undefeated in Div2 and kick everyones arse. Anyway I had been warned by a friend of the umps at Towoomba. apparently they are very ordinary. Problem is, the frees go the home teams way. Any how. what was clearly a game where one team was way more superior to another skillwise, saw a result where only 3 goals seperated both sides at the bell. The difference- I counted no fewer than 13- 50 metres to the home team. Now you might say thats just a bit of a furphy, we have all heard these allegations before. Well another chap I know was at Towoomba last week. He claims the home team received 8 - 50's in the last quarter in their narrow loss to the locals. 2 players from the away team walked off the field in disgust at the umpiring. Funny thing is- A third club also backs up my complaint and says the umps in the big T are a joke. Totally incompetent. They too had the similar trouble.
The second thing that reeks about under 18 football. Surfers are running around in Div2 and are way too talented fopr their opposition. (They even beat Towoomba at home). They have been placed in div2 whilst Western Magpies play div1 They could beat the magpies by 20 goals why was this allowed to happen.? Hand the Div2 flag to Surfers now.No one else can win it.
all that matters is that the mighty panthers have beaten 2 of the big names- Morningside and Broadbeach at there home grounds and are now 2 wins from the flag. :thumbsu:
I would like to see Coloundra win a flag and maybe AFLQ or sunny coast AFL will then bring at least a second team into under 18's comp. Not a good sign that only one Sunny coast side is in the South-East QLD under 18 comp. Sunny coast is way behind other areas of the SE.

Well, well, well.... for a team that was "just making up the numbers" this year and no-one expected to get anywhere, yesterday the mighty panthers beat southport in the grand final. Could not be a happier man at the moment and to all those who had believed we wernt a good side/ walkovers etc etc, time to eat your own words. We did it, we are the best under 18 side in queensland!:thumbsu:
Does that mean we can perhaps see more than one Sunny coast team next year. with the talent spread amongst the two?:)

Alot of our boys are moving up or to state league teams but there are plenty of talented young boys to fill the void that is for sure. i think two teams would be reasonable.
seems a lot of junior clubs are getting the groe of brining back under 18's. Should this be sucessful, it will put a lot more boys into the mix. It can only help to improve the comp.
Hopefully the regional teams around Brisvegas will finally take their blinkers off. :D:D

I journeyed to Toowoomba with a friend a month ago, His son plays for Surfers under 18's. Now Surfers are undefeated in Div2 and kick everyones arse. Anyway I had been warned by a friend of the umps at Towoomba. apparently they are very ordinary. Problem is, the frees go the home teams way. Any how. what was clearly a game where one team was way more superior to another skillwise, saw a result where only 3 goals seperated both sides at the bell. The difference- I counted no fewer than 13- 50 metres to the home team. Now you might say thats just a bit of a furphy, we have all heard these allegations before. Well another chap I know was at Towoomba last week. He claims the home team received 8 - 50's in the last quarter in their narrow loss to the locals. 2 players from the away team walked off the field in disgust at the umpiring. Funny thing is- A third club also backs up my complaint and says the umps in the big T are a joke. Totally incompetent. They too had the similar trouble.
The second thing that reeks about under 18 football. Surfers are running around in Div2 and are way too talented fopr their opposition. (They even beat Towoomba at home). They have been placed in div2 whilst Western Magpies play div1 They could beat the magpies by 20 goals why was this allowed to happen.? Hand the Div2 flag to Surfers now.No one else can win it.
Former Toowoomba boy myself played there the last three years before heading to Morningside this year and wholehartedly agree about the umpires being an absolute joke. They are a disgrace. However having said that they are a disgrace at local level too so it isnt just for out of town teams thing.
Congrats to Caloundra i was one who wrote you off earlier in the year but am prepared to eat my words.
Who will control Under 18's, AFL Q , AFL BJ , ?????
Will the state league provide support?
