Hey Justa, unfortunately, based purely on the NEAFL TV footage I would tend to agree. But having been in the coaches box I can guarantee there was a hell of a lot better play from both sides (Qbn v Belco) that wasn't shown. It seemed to me to be some odd choices to show as highlights. Having also seen Sydney Uni first hand I'd also suggest they were much better than they looked in the weekends highlights when they towelled us up. Sounds like I'm making excuses but I wouldn't read too much into the NEAFL TV footage just yet.Talk about tough, hard contests.....interesting to watch last week's NEAFL TV where you can get a highlights reel of each game, consecutive. Comparing the Redland/Southport match to the two eastern matches (Qbn/Belco and SydUni/Eastlake), well...it's a bit embarrassing for an "Easterner" like me. Our matches looked so second rate compared to the Qld match and I hadn't realised just how much difference there is in standard.
And I know from watching the Thunder up at Marrara last year that they are a cut above, again.
No complaints or bagging about it, but NEAFL TV is a stark reminder of the differences in the NEAFL clubs.

Well what do you expect? Only 3 clubs in the whole of se qld population close to 3 million or if you like 1 club for every million people. Canberra has 4 clubs for 400000 people or 100000 per club. I know that's over simplifying things but ultimately a rationalisation of Canberra teams like what happened in qld will be necessary to close the gap. I know some would disagree but imagine how strong ainslie and 1 other (maybe eastlake) would be if the other 2 dropped out.
Sydney uni and hills will get there in time. Sydney is a big city and attractive for recruits.
A 12 team NEAFL with a genuine draw would be a comp that IMO would be very close in standard to wafl sanfl vfl.
If we were going to two I'd back Queanbeyan in.

You also need to factor in the percentage of youth coming through though in this general population comparison.
If you go to a few primary and high schools and ask every class to put your hand up if you play AFL, look at your numbers again!

Hey Norwest
We are hearing rumours coming up Hume Hwy that we need to be very wary this weekend as your troops are backs to wall & threats of player payment cuts to drive some improvement from the group ????
Is it also true ?? ... that a newly appointed president resigned after a big argument regarding this matter with new footy manager ??
My contact up here at Giants who has links with Belconnen believes the coach is close to being given the flick ?? A loss this week could push decision by board / club with an old coach returning to try fix things ?
A lot at stake for both clubs this weekend
We were taught a footy lesson last weekend by NT but we are confident of turning things around quickly starting with big win this weekend - boys are pumped after a refreshing week focused on enjoying footy & taking some risks / running footy Eagles style
Go eages
Reckon some of the top ups might be finding their feet at this level plus Maloney, lisle back in.Can anyone shed any light on why the scores are so low and why it was so tight a game between Swans and Lions in Mackay? Swans seemed to have a strong list again this week. Surprised the margin was only a point.
