  1. The Flying Belgian

    QAFL 2025

    One of the goals of the Academy from AFL clubs POV is to get get more local talent on their list to overcome the intrinsic advantage that clubs in traditional footy states have which is having a greater choice in which local talent they can recruit. While the AFL has mostly embraced the...

    QFA Div 2 North

    In some cases it would be because originally the majority of players came from a place - possibly there mightn't have been sufficient parkland to play there though. Boundaries of the suburbs were largely set in the mid 70s, before that places were known in terms of larger areas. Both Sandgate...

    QAFL 2023 Season

    Matho had stated towards the end of last year if he couldn't continue with footy as a career, he'd be keen on joining the police or perhaps the military. Perhaps with no clubs able to satisfy his original demands, he's accepted less and moving on with that next phase of his life.

    No, I don't really want to get into a game of hotter/colder. If it comes off, it'll be announced when it's announced by the club.

    One that hasn't been announced yet.

    QAFL 2023 Season

    Heard Grange may have a very good recruit incoming that will help out in that regard.

    QAFL 2023 Season

    I know what you meant. I was wondering what you think the different circumstances are.

    QAFL 2023 Season

    Why would you be staggered? Especially as a lot of the kids in Melbourne play most of their footy through private school.

    QAFL 2023 Season

    Wasn't exactly great leadership there at this time. But I agree, on talent alone he was stiff.
  11. The Flying Belgian

    QAFL 2023 Season

    Assuming the stats listed are correct, 11 out of Grange's 14 goals from the youngsters in Fazldeen, Richardson and Gus McFadyen is handy.

    QAFL 2023 Season

    Is the GF slated for the weekend of the 16th/17th? Lions AFLW have a home game on the 17th.

    QAFL 2023 Season

    It's a beaut. Bit heavy for the coffee table though - it's practically a coffee table on its own!

    QAFL 2023 Season

    About the same distance as between Broadbeach and Surfers. I know very little about the machinations of footy club, but I was told that there was a bunch of former Roos people had rejoined (if that's the right word) the new Coorparoo with the aim of rejoining the top flight, but this was going...

    For those of is unfamiliar with the vagaries of the points system, how is Cedric Cox only 3 points? Not that it really matters as Morningside are nowhere near the maxing out their points. Just interested.

    QAFL 2023 Season

    Hasn’t that always been an issue though?

    QAFL 2023 Season

    One of the originals on the Lions board in the early days was called Special Bruce, an allusion to a now-retired commentator’s tendency to readily use that adjective. No other ulterior motive for the term.

    QAFL 2023 Season

    They were getting hurt because they were taking gigantic runups and banging knees together, causing a spate of PCL injuries. Once they brought in the 5m circle those PCL's more or less stopped. I agree, just call play on on bad bounces. If an umpries varies the side of the ground they start...

    So, to summarise, you can't believe it, but you can believe it?
  20. The Flying Belgian

    QAFL 2023 Season

    From what I can gather, he played two QAFL games for Grange in 2019, the year he was drafted. This is the same amount he played for Aspley that year in between Academy and Allies duties. I know next to nothing about how the points system works, but it would be interesting (and I imagine more...

    Will Martyn announced by Grange

    QAFL 2023 Season

    Lots of people around happy their beers will go untainted.
  23. The Flying Belgian

    QAFL 2023 Season

    If he comes back home I’d assume he would go back to Grange. Only ever played at Aspley for one season and only because it was NEAFL.

    QFA Div 2 North

    Jesus. 10.1 to 7.18. Don't see that kind of discrepancy in goalkicking accuracy often.

    What's your definition of "doing well on the field"? Or more to the point, where do you think they should be on the table?

    From memory they were issues that happened with sportingpulse also.

    They have until February next year I believe.

    QAFL 2021

    First off, it's great to hear the different perspectives of the academy. I've heard a little bit over the years about the selection process, but the development side of things not so much. But I was just speaking on the weekend to a 19yo who's been playing since they were 7, never made the...

    QAFL 2021

    I don't have any clue what an abstract failure is but don't think because I'm a Lions supporter that I'll defend every aspect of the club. I fully acknowledge the shortcomings of the Academy over the years. But to draw any conclusion about the last two years while ignoring the pressures of list...
