Same top 5 teams as last year and for me the final ladder positions as Lions, Demons, Panthers, Cats &, Vultures represents the order of chances to win it.

Magpies finish 6th for the 3rd year in row. Unfortunately they took a while to gather any momentum and didnt have enough wins from early in the season. Must be frustrating being that close. How long is Harwood and Beams signed for? Keep them both on the track you expect them to be finalists. And whats the go with Tigersr? Also only missed by a game. And some sole searching and planning at Gorillas and hawks
 
Interesting game yesterday at Subaru. PBC always looked in control of the game. Be interested to get some broady thoughts here and how they think they can beat PBC. Will Jack Anthony play finals?

What a game coming up at Suburu oval this weekend Dezario? Cats v Vultures. Both games this year between the sides are 1 point margins!
 
Both finals this weekend should be crackers. All 4 sides would fancy their chances I would think.

I’ll save my tips for the end of the week
 
Very saddened to see the passing of Stephen Mitchell who has been a great servant to Sherwood Footy Club.

Still has his boys Drew and Luke at the club currently. Loved his footy and was always up for a chat about footy.

Huge loss to community footy and the Magpies. Condolences to the Mitchell Family.
 
Disappointing another loss for cats against PBC. Watched game live. Cats were bullied again. See how they respond this weekend v vultures

Predictions for weekend
Demons by 18
Cats by 7

Always a close game Broadbeach v MT Gravatt 1 point both times this year.

Must say ,, we are not upto the Palm Beach quality ,,, In my opinion we will beat the Vultures ,, will beat Morningside , but I dont think we are capable of beating Palmy or Surfers ,,, think it will be a Palmy vs Surfers grand final.
 
The ladder tends to tell the truth. Anything other than a 1 v 2 or 1 v 3 GF ( given % only between surfers and morningside) will be a pretty big upset.

Cats and mt Gravatt both 1 point margins during the season so expect another close one.

Surfers and panthers are 1-1 also is very interesting too

Shame both games at the same time, perfect opportunity to maximise attendances by going sat/sun

Last year the first 2 weekends of finals were sat/sun, why has it changed this year?
 
Interesting our views on how close the comp is but reality of ladder past 2 years suggests otherwise?
Agree with premier - top 3 are the only realistic chances. Interesting year when you can only 40% of your games but still play finals.
2019
1. PBC 15 wins
2. Surfers 12 wins
3. Siders 12 wins
4. Cats 10 wins
5. Mt g 7 wins
6. Mags 6 wins
7. Lab 6 wins
2018
1. PBC 14 wins
2. Cats 11 wins
3. Siders 10 wins
4. Surfers 10 wins
5. Mt G 10 wins
6. Maggies 9 wins
7. Lab 4 wins

I take your point Super. I agree that this demonstrates that change in fortunes is perhaps generational over 3-4 years. However disagree that the comp hasnt got closer. Take this weeks finals games. Both opponents stand 1-1 this year with Cats and Vultures 1 point differences in both. Both Magpies and Labrador still a chance in last round.
 
Last year an unfortunate anomaly for us. 10 wins, % of 140, beat Mt Gravatt by 10 goals, Morningside by 16 goals and Surfers by 10 goals.

Win in the final round and finish 3rd, lose and finish 6th. It was a very even year apart from PBC.

This year completely different, still comfortably beat Surfers and Mt Gravatt when we were at home, but losses to Grange when we could barely get 2 teams on the park and other close losses when we had 8-10 out of our best side were very costly in the early parts of the year. Broady 4 points, Vultures 5 points - bit of Deja vu!

Didn't help that Harwood was out for 8 weeks, Lewis for 7, Mitchell for 8, Murray for 12, Moore missed first 8 due to wedding and then car accident... etc etc

Luck will turn, and only having 2-3 NEAFL listed players available to us most weeks in addition to NEAFL sides pinching our young primary listed players late in the year meant we were up against it with our depth when the injuries hit. Very frustrating when the NEAFL sides pinh blokes they didn't even bother to list at the start of the year!

Silver lining was 9 players aged 17-19 debuting and playing quality senior footy.

Vultures played in 3 x 1 point margin games (including a 41 min last quarter which if the correct time was kept would have resulted in a 4 point win!) plus 2 x 1 goal margin games. Sandgate held several quarter time leads, including against Palmy and competitive in several games. They nearly knocked of Magpies late in the season who were is good form at the time. Grange were ahead of Morningside at 3/4 time. That all said the top teams deserve their finals positions for being the most consistent. The problem with a top 5 in a 9 team comp the reality is more than 50% of teams play finals. That is corrected next year with Maroochydore coming in

Agreed, but 9 wins and 140% missed finals in 2018 and 7 wins and 95% gets you there in 2019. Very strange change!

We haven't won a game that was decided by 10 points or less since 2016 :'(

that record in close ones makes it tough! (only ourselves to blame)

Fair enough Thommo. Maybe Super was asking for some equalization concessions for the Brisbane clubs?💰
 
Clearly the NEAFL players coming and going has a huge impact on results which means clubs aren't in control of their own destiny. Has to be looked at for next year, potentially capping senior QAFL sides at 4 NEAFL lsited players in any given week would be a good start.

Fine in theory Fan. There is a document called NEAFL/QAFL interchange which all stakeholders have to agree to. For example Redlands have to spread their non selected players between 3 clubs pretty much in an even manner. What happens to the 5th player allocated to Morningside for example. If they are already playing their 4 does this 5th player get allocated to Magpies forbthat weekend and then back again for Morningside the following week? It is also a problem the other way as Thommo has pointed out with the pathways as the young want to test themselves and see how far they can go. The alternative of course is NEAFL has their own reserves comp.....and guess they'll take their players from.

The 5th player plays 2s?

That is one possible solution. The NEAFL/QAFL interchange agreement as it stands states that the first week after playing NEAFL they are to play 1sts. It is possible to select the NEAFL aligned player in 2s but there is an out for them to change QAFL clubs and to some degree makes a mockery of the competition (both QAFL & NEAFL) if NEAFL player plays 2s. That said it is certainly possible that the QAFL coach does not rate the NEAFL player in his best 22 for any given weekend.....and there are several examples at many clubs where this is the case.
I'm not disagreeing that the interchange needs adjustment I'm just saying the solutions are complex and before changes made consideration to the flow on effects are considered
