Aflq News Part 2

[bombersbackwards06]

Sorry fellows not sure how to make my own post but was just wondering if anyone could help me with the closest n best club available to brisbane as i am looking to move there in late jan/early feb n wanna have a kick

Closest to Brisbane? Wilston Grange - www.gorillas.com.au

Same league as Sandgate but superior facilities and great club and likely to finish higher than Sandgate in 2010 if the grapevine is correct!!

Bring on the rivalry round he he he!!!

Div 2 is an AFLQ competition, maybe you could start a QAFL thread

The Mayne Tigers are a club well worth having a look at. A club that is on its way up. Great history and tradition, and a fantastic bunch of blokes. PM me if you are interested in some more info.

So what is the news on recruitment at Grange? I hope they go Ok, be good to get a few Brisbane teams into the finals this season. I think Sandgate will have "superior" facilities in around 4 months, club being completely re done, 73 pokies 3 bars and dining should have the home of the gorillas covered! Any other news on how Mayne have recruited, other than Faulkner and Vic guy? Local clashes in first 2 rounds for SAndgate against Mayne and Grange should be a top start to year!

Don't suppose Sandgate are getting a decent canteen in any time soon are they?

2 new melbourne recruits up to aspley thisweek one tac cup best and fairest this season just gone heard offering big bucks

Looks like Sean Tighe is one.

Who is the other?

 

[Sweetie]

Aspley will need a few more if the mail is correct that they have lost a few. (Which they really dont need!) Tapp, Matthews, Hill, Schultz, D Reid all played senior footy last year and have left, and a few other senior guys still unsighted pre season training. I hope they get it together, a wooden spoon could be coming there way!

tapp and matthews are huge loses, but the mail im getting is they have already been replaced with some key signings from VIC. lookout for some announcements very soon. some of these boys may be dissapointed they left, definitlely will improve on last years results. The spoon will be the magpies again

Very interesting. From what I have heard, there is a lack of leadership and enthusiasm around the group. Maybe these signings of yours can shake things up.

Has anyone heard anything on Magpies recruiting? I know they got Ty Zantuck but surely they have to do some serious recruiting - they didn't win a game

Surely by January at State League level your list should be pretty close to soughted. Not to many "elite" players stay unsigned this long. Starcevich and Kennedy have already left as well, bit wierd. Will be an interesting few weeks of "announcements"

i dont know of any state leauge club that has their list soughted by jan 3... plenty of good players still unsigned. not many elite players i agree, but how many elite players are playing in the qafl?
starcevich and kennedy are their till the end of Jan.

 

[Sweetie]

where has dylan reid gone to?

Reid to Redlands.

By "Elite" I meant more to the standard of QAFL elite, Gough, Payne etc. Sure there may be a few ok players who have yet to commit, but are these players going to make the bottom sides competitive given the standard of the top sides? Aspley should of gone with Wayne Brittain, he was ready to go and would of bought plenty of players with him. With such great facilities and money available, why are they finding it hard to sign new blood?

Aspley have been going along very quietly. Recently they have been to victoria and spoke to 20 odd blokes. If my mail is correct or should i say i know, Aspley will announce key signings in the comming weeks. Aready inclusions in Dan Roy and Jamie Sheean will be big gains as they have connections to player manager Craig Kelly. I have also heard Ex essedon rookie player has signed along with to B and F winners from the TAC Cup.

Mail is also around 5 more signings from Vic are on the cards with two guns from Country footballers to put pen to paper in the coming weeks. So look out guys Aspley to win in 2010.

Dr Nogood, your mail is corect. tighe, roy and sheehan have signed. two more signed over xmas. i would expect another 8 or so new recuits will be signed in the coming weeks.
hornets will definitely improve on last years results.

 

[Hole in bucket]

Starcevich and Kennedy have already left as well,

Does anyone know why these 2 left after less than a month?

 

[royboy16]

They havent left. starcevich is doing the conditioning training till the end of Jan. the boys have been going to kennedy's gym for boxing and running sessions.

Welcome all to the 2010 season - it's good to be back.

Out of interest, how can it be that Aspley are OK when they can't hold on to the players they have. Notwithstanding some are no loss, the reality is that Tapp, Matthews and Hill are players they should have kept - surely they would come cheaper than a whole bunch of interstate recruits! Rumour has it the exodus might not be over. Then you have Matt Payne come back to Brisbane to live after a year with Sturt (also a GF player) and he is committed to travel down to Southport.

Add these names to the clubs failure to secure or lose a number of former 2008 Eagles players (3 of which played in the 2009 GF). Why did Weightman leave? You just have to wonder whats missing at the Hornets.

Why do the Sunny Coast boys bypass Aspley to travel to Redlands? (read Norman, Dzufer & Weightman)

Why don't they work on developing all those juniors they so proudly brag about, instead of spending time in Victoria talking to 20 or so players?

Aspley have the whole northside of Brisbane to themselves as far as State League is concerned as well as being the closest option for the SunCoast, yet they are looking in Victoria - how is that developing Qld footy?

Seriously they might do well to head over the river and learn a bit from last years Premiers about developing juniors.

mathews was inevitable he would go back to noosa. just had a new baby and travel comittments were taking their toll.
the others have been replaced already by quality players from melbourne and as said before tapp, hill and the others might be dissapointed they left as it will be a much improved team on last year. from all reports these players left to play in better team???
zillmere issue is obvious, they wanted davis to be coach, he isnt so move on. and some of the players may have been influenced by their parents, and their dislike for some people at the club, which is ironic when some still frequent the club and socialise.
dzufer bypassed aspley because he is getting paid over the odds at redlands, weightman - father was not keen on last years coach.
Aspley have gone interstate because these players you speak of didnt want to play there.

 

[stinger_21]

first year was always going to be a building stage for aspley. rather competitive for the year considering they had 3 or 4 players over the age of 22 in their side. can't see oddball how you can be critical of the club for looking outside of QLD to poach specific position players to bolster the stock and further help the young squad develop their footy i.e. leadership players, key position full forward/centre half forward, additional ruckman, marquee onballer etc.

in your eyes oddball, how would you have gone about things? if players don't want to be there, there isn't too much you can do is there? the majority of aspley juniors are still kicking round at the club so maybe loyalty is a bit prevelant rather than just "hired guns"....

 

[mongrel_punt]

Quite a big off season for Redlands so far.

Big losses in Eagle, White, Davies, Huy and Marguccio.
But already signed Dzufer, O'Shea, Clouston, Weightman and Williams amoungst a few other young fellas from up north.

Eagle and White in particular will be very hard to cover but I think they will still be a fairly strong outfit in '10 with the majority of their state players (Carse, Norman, Charlesworth and Myers anlong with all state U21 reps) recommitting to the club.
