Actually Hammy your on the money, Andergrove Footy Club were approached by & well known Sporting Club with the intention of developing an AFL ground at their exsiting facility on the condition Andergrove change their name & colours.

I can confirm that both organisations have come to an agreement & there will soon be a big media realese revealling all.
The new ground & changerooms will be developed & ready for day/night games by 2013, in the mean time Andergrove will play all its home games next season at Harrup Park.

Exciting times ahead for all involved!!

Changing name to Northern Magpies and playing at the magpies sporting club is what i hear PH. Whats wrong with your bucasia ground from this year played about 1 home game out there??
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Looking forward to our first training session at Magpies Sporting Club this Sunday 4.30, a few new recruits are tipped to turn up, hopefully it's an easy one first up!
A great time time to get onboard & join the Greater Northern Beaches Magpies!
Go Pies!
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Good 1st session yesterday in the rain for the Magpies!

6 of them where newbies.

About 22 turned up which is good this time of year & considering the weather the mood & vibe was pleasing.
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Saints still coachless & two off their better players, TIm Jenkins & Brodie Drwyer, may be moving interstate. If so they are big losses to cover.

Go Pies!!
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

it would be good to see tim jenkins test himself in a quality football league,not one where you only play 1 decent game of football against a quality side once every round. the only decent games were hawks vs saints

You soon forget the night Saints went down against the Roos in a night game.

Pretty sure Tim would rather be a big fish in a small pond rather than have a crack at decent standard and risk being just an average player in the team plus i don't think he would handle discipline too well.

I heard Saints have picked up a 6'5 ruck man from Brizy.

Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

mate i watched a night game where the roos played the swans at harrup park on a friday night. the standard of footy that night was the worst i had seen anywhere. i actually thought i might have been early and watching the reserves game but apparently it was the senior game.. would be interesting to see where this 6ft 5 ruckman comes from, as the last ruckman that size ,played in some premierships for nth mackay then couldn't crack it for a senior game at state league level, actually i thought struggled to keep up in the state leaugue reserves comp.
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Things shaping up well at the hawks for 2012. Kept most of the P'Ship team and with the help of a couple of good recruits things look positive for season 2012.

Have also heard the rumour that junko was off to brissy and saints had also lost another 2 or 3 of there key players from this season. Have they got a coach yet??

Has anyone heard if bakers are going to get a team yet?
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

Thought AFL Mackay had added another senior club, but it was the roos becoming the magpies after 1 season.
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

hi roaring tiger, any thruth to the rumour that there is a certain club has an outstanding debt to the league and other clubs would like to see it paid in full before re-admittance to the competition

Saints still coachless but they shouldn't find it hard to get one soon, theybrvtalking to a few candidates.

Apparently Bakers have informed the league that they will have a Senior & Reserves side in season 2012!
Which I find very hard to believe considering they will struggle big time to get a SEnior team.

Yeah too good of an offer to refuse, Magpies are developing us a ground the size of the MCG which will rival if not better Harrup Park on the condition we change our name and colors to the Magpie, already have recruits wanting to play for us cos they follow collingwood and we are the Magpies!

Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

hi PH, word is that he is extremely happy with his lot in life at the moment and moranbah would be on his radar. good to hear about that a aussies rules club can pick up support from magpies sporting club. i think any publicity in mackay for AFL is good for the game. i have heard young matty sondergeld and tyler jones may be back in mackay - any word on them

Whats the clubs like around this league like and the standard of footy?? Looking at moving up
 
Re: AFL Mackay - 2010 Season

the standard isn't bad, i would say tough hard footy, if your from melbourne then I would suggest probably be reserves standard in most suburban leagues. The strongest club at the moment would be the mackay city hawks (some would disagree) ,good mix of famlies and young fellas getting out ond having a bit of fun post game.The club plays and trains at Harrup park-fantastic surface - A cricket ryobi cup game was played there earlier in the year.If you google mackay city hawks you will be able get contact numbers to call from the hawks website

Yes it's all happening, official launch & media release is this Sunday followed by a training session.
A ground will be developed with the same dimensions as the MCG with the aim to attract & host a pre-season AFL game between Collingwood & maybe Gold Coast Suns.
The ground will be ready to play on by the start of season 2013 with full change rooms & lights to facilitate night games.
In the meantime the Northern Magpies will play its home games at Harrup Park.
It's a great time to get onboard the Magpies train with exciting times ahead.
A talented young group destined for success!
Go Pies!
