And everyone has their slant. Its easy to scroll over if people aren't interested in a topic. Academy is relevant to this comp more so than any other comp; as is VFL which occasionally gets talked about here too.
I'm not sure anyone has to answer to some other anonymous poster as to their reasons for being on here... :think:

Believe you’ve read me wrong.

I like reading everyone’s posts, and I enjoy the banter. But I didn’t expect to find so many club insiders posting here.

I read here to pick up any tid bits about Lions academy kids, and occasionally will join in or start a discussion about the academy.

I wasn’t asking anyone to answer to me.

Yep - apologies.
 
at the end of the day, we just have to accept that while many of us are involved because we love the sport, want to see it grow and thrive and play the roles we do because its a passion - for those in charge, its just a job. Just a pay cheque to put food on the table, so to expect the same level of thought and consideration to what is best for the game and everyone involved is probably asking too much.

At least our women get to play, in the Brisbane Central competition, at Bond University....

Didn’t Morningside missing playing Noosa in an earlier lockdown in the year? That too should be factored into when looking at ladder positions.

Morningside also missed out on playing top side Labrador whereas some clubs played them twice.
About half the sides missed a match v Noosa.

my club the cats were about to play them a couple weeks ago, they were decimated with 50 year olds in the 2s, we had about 5 back and almost full strength. Would’ve been a smash up

some teams played 13 games, some played 14. Draw was uneven by design, we all agreed to it. Top 6 was the circuit breaker, with the theory being evn with an uneven draw, if you're good enough - you will get in the 6. Totally agree with that.

Once the draw became the complete shambles it became, through absolutely no fault of AFLQ, there was a clear solution available that provided a fair outcome, didn't require any dates to change and also got more footy played (and more kids talent exposed to recruiters) and more revenue into clubs really struggling.

We will never know why this didn't happen, or if it was even considered.

It wouldn’t have been. Anyone that thinks that they give a fig about clubs revenues is dreaming. They will still get their Invoices paid whilst clubs revenues are decimated.

yes, but I didn't get any feedback on it. Just suggested to me that I wouldn't care if we were 6th, which I can never disprove - but I do find it offensive and can categorically state I would have thought its a good idea if we were 1st or 11th. Every person I spoke to thought it was a pretty practical solution, both to get a fairer outcome, but also get more footy played without having to reschedule anything.

Its pretty poor if you were actually told to your face that you were biased by HQ, even if you were. A lot of fees get paid by clubs.

My observation notes that finals across the competitions have the full gamut of outcomes with some competitions remaining the same (QAFL), some with less teams (QFA Div 2 North, Div 3) and believe it or not even more teams (QFA Div 4). So a complete array of results delivered but different in each division. My contacts also advise that the junior competition was provided the opportunity to provide feedback about finals composition with the result moving the finals series one week back.

I wonder if HQ had customer satisfaction results built into their KRAs, like most businesses do, whether consultation and various outcomes would vary slightly.

Rooms were done in 2014. Ground is much better April to about June, but July onwards its not much better than it was back then sadly. Just too much usage.

Are you guys locked out of using Chelmer Sports Ground? Seems like it would be good option at least for juniors or some lower age or div youth footy when its not being used (Sunday and every second Saturday) and maybe some training.
 
Harsh outcome for the Maggie’s and Palmy and both would’ve been a handful come finals time. In saying that I reckon any of the final 6 have genuine claims, especially if all are close to full strength.
 
Palm Beach absolutely robbed, especially when you see that other lower grades had teams ADDED to the finals..?!

But the premier competition in QLD can't have changes, even when those changes don't require any movement in the calendar.

we access it to train on Wed night for our womens/3rds/colts (rotating) and our 14s and 16s train there on Friday nights. We pay for the access.

they lease it to play touch on Mondays, so we can't get on those nights
