Out of interest sake, how did Carrara get the call up to Div 3? Obviously werent Premiers in Div 4, or very good from many reports, why have they been promoted? Pine Rivers lost 2 games in 2 years in Div 4, so I get that. Are Carrara loaded with cash?

Carrara had the unusual situation of having a lot of youngsters that would be lost to football or other clubs as 50+ players doesnt fit into a team of 22. Even at the rate of changing the team by 6 players each week it would take 6 weeks for all to have played at least 1 game.
 
I heard the spida rumor come straight from the Carrara president as part of his sales pitch to recuit players so if want to blame people blame rod! I don't think it's worth the other teams even playing this year because according to the Carrara boys they have it wrapped up. Very cocky for a team that couldn't win a game in div 4!
A sales pitch to recruit new players based on Spida? Serious? Is anybody out there that gullible? As for expectations in 2013, if Carrara can win a handful of games, be competitive and continue in development of their juniors for the rigours of senior football then its been a success.

I did hear the Spider rumor direct from RON too, I wouldn't discribe it as a sales pitch though. saint01 is this not something you believe to be true?

I think its more taking something into contest. I'm glad you have described it as not a sales pitch because I cant believe he would say "come and play for us because we have spida".

A lot of things on here are a good laugh and as swoopa stated take it with a grain of salt. The club has put in a lot of work to get where they are in a short time and if the side can win a few games the experience will do them the world of good and allow them to build.
 
Heard you were on the Saints train KP. Will make training nights good with a shorter trip home!

I'm sure the Spider rumour will generate interest regardless of its truth and I hope he does come down. Would be good for the club and the league. He seems like a good bloke and sure the younger guys (once they google who he is) will get a kick out of it. I reckon it would fill them with confidence and that can be half the battle with youth. As long as I don't have to man up on any whippets when we play you guys I'm happy!

Anyone know when the draw is announced?

So right about having to google someone like him. Had to look into your comment about KP. It turns out that this must be a typo as brother JP has been training with the saints. As for KP? Bound to be linked with us because of his location to our ground, brother playing with us, and a couple of mates from Beenleigh. Add to that a couple of mates that already play with Carrara and it was a matter of time before his name was bandied around. According to coaches and pres they have not sat down with him and talked to him at all.

Yeah it's likely to be a case of Chinese whispers gone wrong. I guess no one is really going anywhere until transfer papers get signed off so we may as well all wait until the dust settles in Feb and see who is where.

Although I must say I have had some lucrative offers presented to my management I will be staying at Stacer Park. Strangely it was offers from within the club to have me moved elsewhere but I'm stubborn and refused.
 
Is it gonna be more than 1 ground? I believe it's an 'AFL Pecinct', with that in mind I'm assuming some pretty flash facilities?

Two fields initially with a third to come in the future — http://www.moretonbay.qld.gov.au/up...gary-afl/Burpengary-AFL-Landscape-Concept.pdf

Too true Danny - the clubs have been notified but you would think it stands to reason that important changes like this end up on the official information site!

The restructure is finally up on the AFLQ website — http://www.aflq.com.au/index.php?id=5&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=1611&tx_ttnews[backPid]=4&cHash=a63b1446e0

Thanks for the link Danny, looks impressive! Is the theory behind the precinct to become the major northside club? Like Zillmere used to be?
 
Doubt it Footy - just that it is a massive population growth area not unlike the sunshine coast was 10 years back. Think it is forward planning as the north side creeps towards Morayfield (which is actually the suburb the grounds are in, not Caboolture). This region has been identified as a key area for Qld development. Should be a good place with a major swimming centre a couple of torpedoes away and good access off the Bruce Hwy. One of the local high schools has an excellence program in AFL so there are a few indicators suggesting that the code will take off in a basically what is RL heartland.
 
Hey blokes, how many games did Griffith Moorooka win this year?
We finished with 4 senior wins last year. More importantly we made major improvements on club culture and how we went about it on the field. We've been training since October and the least we've had at training so far is 35 and the most around 45 (including on average 6-10 ladies players as we're training together on Tuesdays). We think we're heading in the right direction in all facets of our club. It'd be great to have you at the Roosters if it is what you are looking for. Private message me if you need to know anymore.

Kurt Tippet will play the first 9 rounds with Coomera due to him living on the Gold Coast during his AFL ban and Div 3 falling inside the "community bracket". Great result for the club. We expect him to dominate in one game then go missing for the next 8 much like he did with Adelaide.

I call bull shit :eek:

Wouldn't surprise me though. A this rate they will have a team of AFL players both current and retired.

Gotta love div 3 off season lol
 
Well I call bullshit on everything saints has to say, I'm well connected with the buff robina and the smarts little brats from Carrara and I know for a fact kp is heading to Carrara! Just wondering how well the the little **** smokers will Handel having all the buffs boys take there spots? 5 buffs and counting.... If you chasing premierships your better to stay where you are boys!

awww tsk tsk tsk tsk is that the best you can come up with? We will organise a whip around to help ease your frustrations as it seems mummy still lets you play with barbie and ken instead of a train set. we can also help you register at an early learning program to help with your counting. 5 buffs? 2 buffs actually. You see the order for counting is 1,2,3,4 and then 5.

Now now lads lets not revert to name calling! Just out of interest Big Ballers the lads that have gone across is it based on travel? What sort of clubman were these lads too?

It always just surprises me when players change clubs if they're good club people. Sounds like the Buffs v Saints may be a good spectacle so here's hoping we have the bye that week :)
