So the chat about a possible Gabba curtain raiser turned out to be garbage.

 

[Skoob]

So, Burpengary. Looks like you might miss a couple of games Rip.
chopperduck and I may need to consider whether you can have a day pass to this side of town.

 

[Fatcat08]

I thought the neafl was one division this year?

 

[Nick Lions]

Why are games being played at Burpengary? Which club is there?

I think they're going to be new facilities for the Caboolture Lions mate. I know the Narangba crows also play in Burpengary for some of their age groups as well.

 

[Karnezis_13]

Yay, let's talk about the QAFL. I reckon the Suncoast Lions are in with a real chance this year.

TWO Burpengarys, an Aspley and Mackay's somewhere just past Strathpine, innit? I'm sure my social standing will survive as long as I keep the river crossings secret.

I spent years in Mackay, so yeah, I'll count that as northside. I believe James North appropriately too, is from the nicer side of town but closer to the city. He will monitor your behaviour on the drive out here.
Wear something nice and don't start any trouble and you might be allowed back for the Burpengary games. The trick is to try and blend in. Do you like Bundy Rum in a can and ACDC?

I figure if you try to stick to the gateway it doesn't really count as northside given its a road that takes less than 500 turns so it doesn't really fit in anyway

Fixture needs more CtD home games at Southport.

Wherever I am is the nice side of town. Paddo formerly of New Farm is the truth ... not sure how that places me in this xenophobic discussion? Who should I be chastising?

I can tell you that on a relaxing whim to go watch the Ressies I will probably only go to Coops or Yeronga .... But spreading the game to other places is a great idea I think.

I actually wondered recently whether any of the folk I've chatted to at these games over the last few years are on here.

If so, man some of you are opinionated ... especially about how great Patty K is and why he isn't in the 22.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Just getting in early... go the ressies! With all of the new players there is going to be plenty of competition for key positions.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Also, New Farm - south of the city but on the northside. Probably the most obsolete name for a suburb going around.

 

[Davemonkey]

Burpengary is not too bad for me as my parents have removed to the retirement village that is Bribie Island and it gives me more of an excuse to head in that direction to visit them. Yes, I am a terrible son, but have 4 sisters picking up the slack.

Technically not right. The centroid of the locality polygon for New Farm is at a lower latitude than that for Brisbane City.

Geo-nerd out.

The reason I moved from NF is because they started calling it "The Peninsular". That was the last straw for me.

Looks ******* east to me.

Where you gonna move to when Paddo becomes "The Hillz"?

There is definitely something strange going on here. Some kind of elevation related nickname is inevitable I feel.

At least Paddo doesn't have its own magazine (that's where NF's nickname came from - its own magazine!).

What would the Lions be paying for the 2014 NEAFL flag if such a market existed ?

More particularly, where the hell is it?

That is absolutely nothing on what I did.

I sabotaged a prospective list of nursing homes when my mother-in-law was needing to be admitted into one as there one on the list in Hawthorne Street, Woolloongabba. I told Mrs CtD that Ihad checked it out and it looked nice.

All I saw was free parking for home games.

Karma caught up with me. We missed out on that and now she is in a nursing home on the Gold Coast.... Not even close to Metricon for parking there...

I'd have the Suns as favourites. They are building depth now - guys like Sexton, Schade, Cameron etc are quality and have now had time in the system. They will be supplemented with some experienced types like Warnock, Murphy who might be squeezed out of the senior 22 but will be too good for the NEAFL. Once Smith is back on deck, they will have an AFL quality ruckman in their side too.

We've replaced a bunch of 2nd/3rd year players mainly with 1st year types. Where we should have an advantage is in the KPP roles due to the fact that guys like West, Lisle, Martin, Close, Michael, McGuane, Maguire etc will physically monster local opponents if they don't get games in the ones. Having said that, we'll be thereabouts for a three-peat.

Sydney has lost a lot of depth. However, they still won their conference last year on the back of a poor injury run so you can't write them off.

GWS will be similar to the Suns last year IMO - competitive but not top notch.

And I can't see any of the local clubs doing anything once the finals start, even though they've tried to pick the eyes out of clubs like Morningside and Broadbeach who aren't in the top league.

NT might be interesting if they can get some recent former AFL players involved - Brennan, Davey etc. I see Xav Clarke is coaching them.
