Sherwood seem to be in some good form at the moment, that’s a good win.

They might do us hornets a favour if they can bounce the panthers next week. I suspect the siders are low on troops - good win by maroochy none the less. And Noosa taking palm beach to the line. Great effort … Surfers the clubhouse leader at the mo for mine … Redlands lurking

How about Mt Gravatt staying competitive with the ladder leaders for all 4 quarters in the second last round of the year ?? That’s a fairly decent effort.

Even with the hammer kicking 11.

I seen that - I wonder did The sharks rest a few

Well pretty clear missing size in the ruck with no huddy and malone. Plus whoever else they rested for next week.

But fair credit to Mt Gravatt for staying competitive for once.

Didn’t see the sides champo. Just a general comment

Hanmer had 9 to half time. Probably kept the distance between the 2 sides considering the tricky breeze.

Reappointing the coach?

In addition to the Malone & Huddy absences there was no Cameron, Williams, Miller, Stallard, Hausfeld either. They’re 7 quality omissions. But credit where credit is due the Vultures can only play who is put out in front of them.

6 outs from the team last week, however, matty owen and geesu came in, which are quality replacements and would be in the 22 every week.

Definitely a decent effort, considering this time last year they were losing 204-8 and 220-13.


Really touching to see both all Noosa and Palmy players and supporters gather before the game in what has been a tough week. Shows its always more than just a game

Labrador looked really nice today. Close to full strength. 7 VFL listed players played (Max amount).

Fantastic when clubs can come together for the greater good. Ripper game at Palmy too with a 1 point margin.

 

[stuyd1]

Whats the go with Palmys drop off in form over the past 3 or 4 weeks

 

[stuyd1]

So Hammelmann moves to 85 goals for the season from 14 games - averaging just over 6 goals a game
Stackleberg has 81 in 18 games at 4.5 goals a game .
Redland have Palmy next week and Asplay have Mt Gravatt...so will be interesting which player wins the goalkicking for the year

Tipping Comp R19 Update – One Round To Go!

We’re down to the last round of the season, and it couldn’t be tighter at the top. It’s a four-way tie heading into the final week, with everything still on the line.

No one tipped the card this week, and 2010premier unfortunately forgot to get their tips in.

81; Bunyip62, SMY1305, Unspoken Brizz, Windsor Zillmere
80; Thunderdoc2
79; stuyd
78; Footyboy2020, inside45, Longy_Zillmere, Toucan Soup
76; AllOrNothing22, QldClueless, westermau5
75; noosaboy
74; JoeDaniher, Up It Stumpy
70; B Howard
69; BMD82
57; Mobbs

It’s all to play for in the final round – best of luck to everyone.

Great win by Roos at Fish Rd this arvo. Down to 2 on bench at 3/4 time and a say to celebrate a bloke who has been a super player over the last decade Mitch scholard.

It was a quality game in perfect conditions. Young Murray for the Roos has a scintillating turn of speed and a great kick of the footy. Waller was solid too and not doing his draft options any harm.

Pretty even year really. Coukd be a blanket over 4-5 sides to win it.

 

[2010premier]

Sherwood were very good yesterday, played like a team that should be in finals.

Their pressure caused forward 1/2 turnovers and they moved the ball well all day.

Cats disappointing, been up for a while so not completely surprising an off day, but scoreboard flattered if honest , we got smashed

Hammelmann by far the best forward in Qld, kicked 7 against Palmy in the first round and has a six goal lead, I’m sure Aspley will be feeding Stackleberg

Absolutely the best Full Foward in QLD ,,

Can't expect to play finals if you cant' beat the bye in blue, Coorparoo. Didn't watch the broady game yet, but the i50 differential shows a smashing.

I watched the Roos/Panthers game to have another look at young Murray, what a star. Speed to burn, willing to take the game on and can hurt you by foot off both sides of the body.

100% correct. Surely should get VFL game for Lions

 

[Miller1971]

think he has played a couple already and went well. But given he is 17 and a top tier player in the Seniors in a QAFL senior side, they probably don't see the point. Young Owen has had a crack already as well. Hodge is now playing VFL, but probably because he won't get a game in Panther seniors at the back end of the year, so he benefits more than the other 2.

Really not trying to be rude here, however, if he didn’t have the last name and came through as a normal junior, would Hodge be in the draft conversation still? Haven’t watched him play much, so I could be very wrong


Also see Kalani white lined up for the Broady reserves on the weekend.

 

[Miller1971]

I've seen a fair bit of him, he's pretty handy. Best attributes would be athleticism and a strong bloodline of being a pure hard nosed competitor - also has the fearless gene - will 100% go every time its his turn. In terms of pure footy attributes, he is a nice looking kick, but a poor decision maker and has no opposite foot. Often guilty (like many kids this age) of just dumping kicks long no matter what and is a little fumbly at ground level. There are plenty of 2008 born kids a fair bit ahead of him, but the Lions doing everything they can to pump him up thats for sure. Kids like Owen from Redland, Murray from Maroochydore, Hill from Broady, McPherson and Grills from Aspley, Duke & Thompson from Sherwood and Watts from Morningside are all a bit ahead of him - but footy is very subjective and not everyone gets the same opportunities.

Good summary of how it all pans out imo.

Murray just a ripper. Can put after burners on when he wants to. Would argue should try to do so a bit more often. Fantastic ball user and plays a little bit like NAS imo. He is the lions #1 look for 2026 I believe. Will be training with the draftees and 1-3 yr players pre Xmas.

He has the Future Stars game coming up in melb in Sept plus the indigenous AS game in Oct so he will have plenty of eyes on him.

Good footy family with his sister prob in the best handful of U16 girls in the country. Made AA this year and starred in the 18s games she played. Again just a ripper kid.
