AFL Mackay

[John Bonney]

Nammer pretty much coached the 2nd part of the season.

Nammer would be good in some capacity but Bakers really need a coach than can create a new imagine & atract a whole new breed of players, tuff job one feels.
I imagine you are referring to a coach who can bring a new ''image'' to the club rather than rewrite the great John Lennon Classic. :D
A prerequisite maybe keeping his clothes on and restricting the Baker's Boys from baring there bums to opposition coaches. :o

Any coaching positions vacant in the Mackay AFL????

You keen to see what club the guy who knocked Cutters back is going to?? I'm with you on this one Flintstone, he's probably in Tassie still:).

Four vacant jobs here, so surely he'd be putting in for one of them.

Has anyone around Mackay put any thought into an AFL 9's competition? (http://www.afl.com.au/More/PlayAFL/AFL9s/HowtoPlayAFL9s/tabid/18273/Default.aspx)

Looks like it could be a lot of fun. I only ask because I am too fat and old to play the full game :P

Actually Hammy your on the money, Andergrove Footy Club were approached by & well known Sporting Club with the intention of developing an AFL ground at their exsiting facility on the condition Andergrove change their name & colours.

I can confirm that both organisations have come to an agreement & there will soon be a big media realese revealling all.
The new ground & changerooms will be developed & ready for day/night games by 2013, in the mean time Andergrove will play all its home games next season at Harrup Park.

Exciting times ahead for all involved!!

Ahhhh That's the term we used back in the Navy days & still did at our 40th reunion recently , all the WAG's roared with chuckles

[Burning Desire]

Looking forward to our first training session at Magpies Sporting Club this Sunday 4.30, a few new recruits are tipped to turn up, hopefully it's an easy one first up!
A great time time to get onboard & join the Greater Northern Beaches Magpies!
Go Pies!

[PINNACLE HEALTH]

Good 1st session yesterday in the rain for the Magpies!

6 of them where newbies.

About 22 turned up which is good this time of year & considering the weather the mood & vibe was pleasing.

[Burning Desire]

Saints still coachless & two off their better players, TIm Jenkins & Brodie Drwyer, may be moving interstate. If so they are big losses to cover.

Go Pies!!

If they were to lose those two top quality players there depth would be sorely tested.
Anyone seen StevieShavedham?? :eek:

[ashlee]

it would be good to see tim jenkins test himself in a quality football league,not one where you only play 1 decent game of football against a quality side once every round. the only decent games were hawks vs saints

[Burning Desire]

You soon forget the night Saints went down against the Roos in a night game.

Pretty sure Tim would rather be a big fish in a small pond rather than have a crack at decent standard and risk being just an average player in the team plus i don't think he would handle discipline too well.

I heard Saints have picked up a 6'5 ruck man from Brizy.

[ashlee]

mate i watched a night game where the roos played the swans at harrup park on a friday night. the standard of footy that night was the worst i had seen anywhere. i actually thought i might have been early and watching the reserves game but apparently it was the senior game.. would be interesting to see where this 6ft 5 ruckman comes from, as the last ruckman that size ,played in some premierships for nth mackay then couldn't crack it for a senior game at state league level, actually i thought struggled to keep up in the state leaugue reserves comp.

[roaring tiger]

Things shaping up well at the hawks for 2012. Kept most of the P'Ship team and with the help of a couple of good recruits things look positive for season 2012.

Have also heard the rumour that junko was off to brissy and saints had also lost another 2 or 3 of there key players from this season. Have they got a coach yet??

Has anyone heard if bakers are going to get a team yet?

[FOTC]

Thought AFL Mackay had added another senior club, but it was the roos becoming the magpies after 1 season.

[ashlee]

hi roaring tiger, any thruth to the rumour that there is a certain club has an outstanding debt to the league and other clubs would like to see it paid in full before re-admittance to the competition

Saints still coachless but they shouldn't find it hard to get one soon, theybrvtalking to a few candidates.

Apparently Bakers have informed the league that they will have a Senior & Reserves side in season 2012!
Which I find very hard to believe considering they will struggle big time to get a SEnior team.

[Burning Desire]

Yeah too good of an offer to refuse, Magpies are developing us a ground the size of the MCG which will rival if not better Harrup Park on the condition we change our name and colors to the Magpie, already have recruits wanting to play for us cos they follow collingwood and we are the Magpies!

[PINNACLE HEALTH]

You appear to be a City Hawks supporter, l hear young Pud is off to play out at Moranbah next season, apparently his Girlfriend has landed a job there & he is following?

[ashlee]

hi PH, word is that he is extremely happy with his lot in life at the moment and moranbah would be on his radar. good to hear about that a aussies rules club can pick up support from magpies sporting club. i think any publicity in mackay for AFL is good for the game. i have heard young matty sondergeld and tyler jones may be back in mackay - any word on them

Whats the clubs like around this league like and the standard of footy?? Looking at moving up

[ashlee]

the standard isn't bad, i would say tough hard footy, if your from melbourne then I would suggest probably be reserves standard in most suburban leagues. The strongest club at the moment would be the mackay city hawks (some would disagree) ,good mix of famlies and young fellas getting out ond having a bit of fun post game.The club plays and trains at Harrup park-fantastic surface - A cricket ryobi cup game was played there earlier in the year.If you google mackay city hawks you will be able get contact numbers to call from the hawks website

Yes it's all happening, official launch & media release is this Sunday followed by a training session.
A ground will be developed with the same dimensions as the MCG with the aim to attract & host a pre-season AFL game between Collingwood & maybe Gold Coast Suns.
The ground will be ready to play on by the start of season 2013 with full change rooms & lights to facilitate night games.
In the meantime the Northern Magpies will play its home games at Harrup Park.
It's a great time to get onboard the Magpies train with exciting times ahead.
A talented young group destined for success!
Go Pies!

[ashlee]

it will take a while to get use to seeing collingwood colours out on the paddock but any publicity and funding for AFL football in mackay is good for the game. should be a very interesting season

[oldschoolfooty]

Magpies numbers so far have been pretty solid for this time of year, we had to find an indoor venue today due to the rain which looks like its staying around for a while.
Which team are you associated with?

[oldschoolfooty]

looking at Moranbah at the moment.
the rain does look to be staying around for a while. lets hope not too long.

Preseason going well at the hawks getting good numbers with some very handy recruits on board already.
Heard a rumor former saints forward coley coaching bakers. Will be interesting to see if the league let them back in.
Also heard the saints are struggling at present to find a coach.

whats the go there did bakers have a bit of a hiccup last year and get booted from the league? also you would be expecting good numbers at the hawks in pre season wouldn't you? you guys won the flag didn't you?

[Burning Desire]

There's no doubt Hawks will be very hard to beat again this season , have heard Hawks have landed a 6'5 Ruckman from Brizy.
Big Xavier Smith is back training at Bakers which is good for them.

Saints must be abit concerned they are still coachless & presidentless considering its almost February.

[John Bonney]

Mackay City Hawks really raised the bar last year in their Premiership season.
The expectancy this year may be greater with all the other sides being aware what they will nedd to compete.
Their fitness level was far beyond that of the rest of the sides.
I spoke with one of their leadin players today and he said that they had been putting an enormous pre-season with the onus on various forms of cross-training.
He added that the footballs hadn't really come out yet and the expectancy level was very high. :cool::thumbsu:

From what l hear Hawks training numbers have been no more than any other club.
Apparently they have lost a few quality players but are sprouting about already securing 11 recruits including two bigman.
Might as well hand'm the cup now!

Have also heard Saints have lost a dozen players & still coachless , maybe Saints can merge with Bakers!

Numbers have been consistent at Magpie land with a few newbies turning up plus few past players from previous seasons returning to the game, one a former league medalist.

A few years out of footy will do that to you but if he keeps training 3 nights a week like he has been he will be fit by rnd1 and be a very handy acquisition.

[Burning Desire]

I heard Big X is/has been training with the swans.

Big X was definitely at Swans training Wednesday night and has also trained at bakers this month.
It will be hard for Bakers to get a Senior team this when their former coach is now coaching the Swans is possibly trying to get a few of his former players across to Swans , l doubt very much Bakers will get a team and if so they still have to pay their league debt.
Paul Cole was appointed coach but something happen and he isn't doing it now so they are out looking again.
With rnd1 starting at the end of April you would think Bakers, and Saints for that matter, would want to appoint a coach sooner rather than later.

[Sweet Undies]

So are Saints even close to appointing a coach and why are they taking so long?? Saints as a rule are usually stable in the coaching department.

Coley can play don't get me wrong. Probably shouldn't have sought him as coach in the first place given his living arrangments. The link to the club isn't the best circumstances either.

Good luck to Coley and may his ego grow like a crop of Indian

Reserves is only 16 a team this season.

Eagles had 31 on the track the other night at this early stage.

Bakers won't get Senior team so a few will go to Swans which will bolster their numbers.

Magpies have had over 40 players already train on different days so we will definitely have a reserves side & pretty good one too I may add.

With still a few months to go til rnd1 you will find a lot of people will relocate to Mackay soon & amongst them will be footballers which will increase every clubs numbers.

With all of the vagaries including injuries and player availability through work rosters a club really needs between 60-70 registered players to ensure they can come up with 2 full teams each week.
This to avoid the dreadful scenario where players double up or playe short and cop a drubbing each week.
This is fact based from my own grim experiences. :confused:

u need about 200 players registered in Mackay to allow for work rosters, injuries, players that go walkabout, loose interest etc...!

So far Magpies have 60 on the list, & 42 of them have trained on different days, which is good for this time of year.

Moons was pretty good same with Price, but Lucy - listed Essendon, capt Zillmere Eagles,B&F Zillmere - QLD Under 18s, QLD senior rep - 2 x Senior QAFL premierships (not sure if he won a B&F at Panthers) plus i am sure there is more.... would be a great aquisition to the league.

Pretty sure didn't win Zillmere B&F.Was unstoppable though on return from Essendon,kicking 8 last qtr against Redlands with a cracked jaw.Very hard to match up on last 3 years at Morningside.

[roaring tiger]

The best player i have seen up here over the last few years was Jon Price 3 League medals in 3 years a couple of premierships queensland country rep.

Interesting to see who this Lucy signs with. Perhaps the club offering the most money.

I agree with the poster above that John Price is probarbly the stand out player in the past decade with 2 of the better players still going around being Craig Dowdell,who has played with great verstility as a wingman and a leading 100 goal season full forward and Swans evergreen utility Ivan Walker.
Impossible to compare players from different eras and body sizes but i will put forward a few.
I must add most of the earlier players named are by reputation and achievment rather than my eyewitness accounts. :cool:

from 1970's......Merve Stevens[BC] 1971 League B&F ,also leading goalkicker 6 times including 3 100+ seasons.
1980's...Anthony Baker[BC]..brilliant full forward..kicked 100's of goals in Premiership teams including 216 in 1989.
Also mentions to Peter Filler[EM] ,Gary Lewis[BC] Dual MJMiller medalist and Neville and Graham Allan from Hawks.
1990's...Andrew Prause [BC],Peter Sharp[MC]-the best mark seen in the League,and Whitsunday guns;Wayne Aspland,Jeff Mackey and Nigel McCarthy.
The silkiest skilled player i have seen personally was creekers Bruce Gillingham and the toughest was red-headed assasin Wayne ''Shaker''Stevens from Bloods 1993-1996 Premier teams.
This is an impossible task but just some ''food for thought''.
:D

When asked,local stalwart Josie Rogers has always insisted Filler was the best we have seen here.We can also boast a 50 game AFL player in St Kildas David Armitage.He played his first game in seniors at 14 !
