not sure its true, so don't want to name names unless its correct weight information.
Terrible injury luck for him if true. Hurts all the more when they’re quality 1 pointers also
Watched the 2nd half at the panthers vs vultures game today ,,, was a scrappy game with no real highlights ...Panthers were always going to win . a big crowd in attendence ,, reckon about 900 to 1000.
Name and shame champ. Don’t start rumours.
A significant fine was dished out apparently. When you loose your skipper prior to the game and replace him with a rookie which puts you over the points maybe the points system is flawedMorningside breached the cap a few weeks ago allegedly. Heard it from enough people in the last 7 days for it to be true. Then attended the game on the weekend and just dropped it into general conversation and 2 people from Morningside confirmed it to be true.
Wouldn't want to miss finals and have Morningside take your spot by 1 win after it went unpunished. I guess the benchmark is set now !

No, only 3 pointers if they have played more senior footy than reserves footy in the previous season at another club.
I'm lead to believe the player in question in this case was an ex senior player from Yeronga who was actively recruited and everyone would have known absolutely that the player in question is a 3 pointer. Div 1 senior player being a 3 pointer is not exactly beyond the realms of where it should be?
When you've loaded up on 5 or 6 NEAFL guys who are 5 pointers, you'd think you;'d keep a close eye on your total points each week.
Rookies from acadamies etc are not 3 pointers if they have played a senior game. This rule is in place to stop clubs like the one in question loading up on community club talent, a northside club now going a step further and grabbing them early in 12's and 14's so they are all 1 pointers! (Strategic!)
Grabbing 12's and 14's is an interesting way of putting it. I think the clubs they are grabbing them from would call it something else
Roger that ghostrider, but while AFLQ continue to turn a blind eye....clubs will keep offering Rebel Sport vouchers and free rego to get talented kids over....
deplorable
This is the easiest aspect of monitoring that aflq can do. Restrict movement of juniors.
I was told that in Adelaide kids must play in postcode. Reckon it’s not a bad idea. Think movement bn clubs, esp for rep players, should be monitored and looked into if there is a significant pattern occurring.How can you do that? Kid moves to another part of town or has a bust up with the coach or parent has a disagreement with committee...
I don’t see that you can force people to stay at a club. You can however ban inducements and active recruitment until a certain age (17?). Hard to police but if all clubs are made aware then hopefully most will see the bigger picture and do the right thing.
Tiny slap on the wrist for the Brisbane club that has run the league for ever and will continue to... cheats.
And Gazza I heard the fine was definitely not a slap on the wrist. A pretty big whack for a club that traditionally isn’t flush with cash.
An appropriate penalty given the circumstances
Really? Have you been down there? The place is hardly running on an oily rag. Reckon they would be more cashed up than any other club in Brisbane by a big margin.
I heard they didn't get any penalty, but if the penalty was a fine, anything less than 5 figures is a slapo on the wrist for that joint. Been doing dogy recrutiing for years and never been penalised, now its no surprise they are first one to breach the points cap.
