QAFL 2025

Do they not identify positions they desperately need to fill in the off-season?

yes, approximately 35 positions were identified....

They were unsuccessful in filling any of them.

Couple of senior footy debuts for maroochy lads yesterday too in Caylan Murray and Issac Waller. Both had very good Academy programs this year. Both appeared in best players yesterday.

that Murray kid is a star. If he is back from injury, he might get an Allies call up? I heard he broke his arm a few weeks ago, not the case?

Cockatoo Collins played, and kicked a couple in the 3rd when they made their comeback. Gutsy effort from Morningside given that they lost Cockatoo in the first quarter and Castle in the second. Ran out of petrol in the last quarter once Palmy got on a run. Certainly helps having Casboult up forward.
Palmy have to be favourites for the flag now.
But geez Morningside are stacked. Missing McDonagh, Hodge, Pendlebury, Horne, Griffiths, Wason and Bertoli Simmonds yesterday. Plus I'm not sure what is happening with Daniel Lloyd.
If they can get them all back, then they could cause some trouble come finals time.

Legit question. Are Morningside actually capable of picking their best side? As in, can they fit their best 22 into 50 points even with all the VFL loopholes etc?

I think this week the first time they have been below 50, and thats without McDonagh at 5 who is obviously best 22. Hodge would be a 1, the rest would be 2s and 3s?

Plus they have Knight and Winton in the 2s who would have to be 3-4 points each?

Broke a bone in his hand Miller - now played 2 games back, one in colts, then last week. Yea he was a given to be in the Allies mix prior to injury and speaking with this morning he's hoping he might get a run still but I think playing senior QAFL footy as a 17yr old will be a good environment for him to be in as a great compromise.

His sister was selected in the AA U16 team this year and had a great Academy series with the Lions and now selected in the Qld U18 side as a double bottom ager. Talented family.... both ripping kids.

I think the pool of top line players has decreased significantly as blokes playing QAFL now that are no where near good enough for this level even 3-4 years ago.

I reckon early 2000’s was better. Played against Lions reserves. Comp was stacked back then

Wow that result is embarrassing for Sherwood, even Mt Gravatt haven’t scored that low this year.

Yep fair call but missing 8-10 first choice players was always gonna be tough, definitely have built our capability at full tilt just need to improve our depth within… it’s a tough week to week comp and every week u get another opportunity. PBC are a well seasoned unit with the right mix of local products and added players.

Still Me ,, I agree with you here
