2015 QAFA (B) Central

190cm+ mobile key defenders who will mark anything in their vicinity, both play for the Woodsmen last time I checked.

Mcdonel is an ex AFL listed player, Green is just as good.

Green is very good and would make any starting line up in this comp but I wouldn't say he's on the same level as Mcdonel from what I have seen!
 
EdMac is a fill in player, not a permanent one.

Greeny is a copper, so availability varies.

Then there is little old me, I get the honour of playing in defence when these boys are not around. Though I do prefer it back there, even at my age

Some of the other posters I think got the wrong idea and thought I was strutting around promoting Kedron, I don't even play for them. Just purely generating discussion, and pointing out that they have a good forwardline in comparison to the rest of their team.

Im excited to see what some of the teams in this comp bring, I think it is anybodys game

What's everyone thinking about uq this year?? I reckon they could be the surprise packet of the comp.

I certainly dont think anyone is under-rating them that's for sure. They have ditched their QAFA A teams and now have 1 side playing in this comp. They also have enough surplus numbers to send 10+ players across to Ipswich every week. Should definitely be strong.
 
Not at all. Just saying that the draw flattered us last year. We put teams out there last year that would have been flogged by the better sides, but out of pure luck we happened to be playing a bottom side.
Eg. In Round 1 we nearly lost to Kenmore and were 6 goals down. We only beat Yeronga by 3 points first time around when heaps of guys were unavailable, then beat them by 100 when we had our full side in.

Tim Green is our CHB, he is one of the best footballers going around. Ed Mac plays for us also, but not often. He was on St Kilda rookie list, so can obviously play a bit. After tussling with Fraser Gehrig at training for 2 years, I'm sure he'll be ok unless he has to play on Dickfos :)

Gee Thommo, wish we had played you guys on one of those night last year! Would have been nice to get one win off of you!
Green is a very good players. Cannot remember Ed though. Did he play in the finals last year because I cant remember his name coming up?

And I agree with QAFL fan, you are certainly not little!!

I don't think anyone got the wrong idea kid, thats exactly what you were doing.

Fair enough too. they will be a very very strong side in this competition.

Top 4.

I watched all 3 games between Wynnum and Woodsmen last year. McDonnel only played in the first one. He is a very similar player to Green, just with a better pedigree. (ie: he was on an AFL list)

From what I gather, they only give him a game when they're short.

What can I say? Tough luck!

He was qualified, but he didnt play.

Old maybe, but certainly not little!! ;)

if I'm old, you are prehistoric!

Not entirely accurate. Its not about 'giving him a game'. He is obviously a gun player, but he is the kind of guy that doesnt want to take someone elses spot. We agree that our club is not about just naming the best 22 every week, we have to ensure everyone gets a game and all and rotate everyone through.

Ed helps us out when we are short, we would never let him take the spot of a regular player who is available, nor would he want to.

We have 45 guys registered now, but couldn't put 22 out there from our core bunch in either of the first 2 rounds. We might have 10-15 guys this year who only play 1 or 2 games, just to help out with numbers.

We even had big Russ from Yeronga on permit last week, he kicked 2 or 3 handy goals too!

We have a similar situation down our way. Plenty of numbers and have to rotate players every week. At times we can have 9 changers from week to week. With work and injury you need to have a few spare. Don't think anyone will have a consistent side until the last couple of games. Its a bit early in the year to judge teams might want to wait until the pointy end for that.
 
Doubt it mate, if QFA North teams cant stop Fitzgibbon scoring copious goals i doubt 2 fellas can! Good to see Westbrook kicking a few!

You get up on there on that high horse, and you ride that thing in to the wind !!! While these 2 guys might play for Woodsmen in QAFA B, both would walk in to any state league side, and I am sure Thommo 42 gets harassed by the Sherwood Magpies to hand them over. Ed Mac, as QAFL fan stated, was on St Kilda's list when the Saints were extremely strong and you are comparing him with some snuffs that play QFA North. Give me a break.
 
I would say that Ed Mac is a capable defender. I mean he probably only took 22 marks (mainly contested) on the halfback line the one game he played against us last year. Woodsmen won by 2 points due to some poor kicking but Ed may have assisted in some respect??
Anyhow the forum has gone off topic. Let's get back to the real subject of Yeronga stacking their team. Surely Russ will be back for the big game tomorrow night...

I think he will have to go back to Yeronga. Looks like Thommo pulled rank and put himself back into the woodies side.
 
ErnieD i have to say since you left yeronga I think they have gone backwards a few years. Can't imagine you would have dropped your star full forward ?credit to yeronga though for letting him play for us on Saturday.

Not that tough to pull off in a one man selection committee!! ;)

Now can we all just play nice and get along. Yes Kedron will do well in this league, but let's not dismiss everyone else. Let's just celebrate the fact that this is going to be a tough comp to win for the first time in a long time.

Where you off to this weekend QAFL? If I can shake this man flu, I'm out Zillmere way tomorrow night.

Take it easy mate man flu is more serious than Ebola.
 
I was in the team last week, but had to umpire!

I tell you what, as an umpire - I make a damn good footballer.

We lost a player tonight though, one James Rozynski along with a few other superstars like Corey Fulton have signed with some Vic country side on a FIFO basis.

Woodies budget couldn't quite match the asking price I'm afraid.

Surprised it took this long for someone to come knocking to be honest.

As for old Ed Mac, I wouldn't get too excited - he won't play for us much, he's happily retired. If he was a committed footballer, he'd be playing in the NEAFL without too much trouble and picking up some coin for his troubles.

Some of us like to play until we can't run another step, unfortunately we weren't blessed with talent to waste!
