Gayle, please elaborate!
Ripper, can't give you the most recent updates. But basically, Aussie Rules football is going thru the same in QLD as NRL are with South Sydney, but under different claims/terms/reasons.
Mayne Football Club was one of the long standing QAFL club for many many years. An awful lot of those clubs are now gone.
The competiton has undergone major changes up here in the last 5 years. For example even the name of the comp has gone from QAFL to QSFL and now to AFLQ.
Mayne were efectively 'thrown out' of the competition and have launched legal action to be re-admitted.

Thanks Danni.
Jolly good luck to the Mayne footy club!

On Friday, they went to court and won.
Know in Feb, they take on the AFL to try to get back in the competition.

Had many a good tussle with the ole Tige's .... even smashed myself up over at Windsor Park one day .... but I hope they take a coupla Sherrins with 'em and jam 'em right down the throats of the powers that be.
Oh, we're from Tigerland ....
ps For those that don't know, Mayne is/was our oldest club, and have won 15 flags .... they weren't a slouch in the history department!!!

Anyway, that's what I reckon ........

Right ....
Good point Danni, a lot of the old clubs are now gone. To gauge the "changing of the guard", the 1982 season was played by Kedron, Windsor-Zillmere, Wilston-Grange, Sandgate, Mayne on the northside, and Coorparoo, Morningside and Western Districts on the Southside.
Today, only Northern Eagles (a so-called amalgamation between WZ and Sandgate, altho' Sandgate have re-formed in lower divisions) and Morningside survive .... the Eagles being the only northside club.
It was quite ridiculous when they "arsed" Mayne, that one of the reasons was "too many clubs in close proximity" being Eagles, Kedron, Mayne & co. What a joke this has turned out to be with Labrador, Southport and Broadbeach all being within a spit and fart of each other!
And don't get too hung up with the South Sydney crud either .... that was and is an entirely different situation. In that case, the other clubs all signed (or nearly all!) an agreement that they all had two years to get their houses in order, then they would be assessed. Those not in order would be flicked, thus the three amalgamations of clubs to ensure survival.
South Sydney though, hold this arrogant stance of having some "divine right" to be there for all sorts of BS reasons that George Piggins will have you believe. They didn't want a bar of any amalgamation or joint venture (even tho' three different clubs expressed interest) and now pay the price.
In Mayne's case, there never was this agreement with the clubs ... it just happened. That's where their viewpoint is, and why they've now won the right to take their case to the high court. They are actually fighting on three fronts, with two "looking the goods" ..... remembering they only need to win one and they're back in the comp.
