QAFL 2025

[2010premier]

Writing was on the wall when they were offering 15k a year for one player

Surely not unless it was Erin Philips

Little birdy told me the $15k was offered to a current Southport player. Hmmmmm

 

[smy1305]

The advertised offer was $10-15k for a playing assistant coach.
They would have wanted to kick 5 and have 30 touches every week for that sort of coin in qaflw

It’s the old debate that pops up every now and then.

I think all would agree the QAFL is different to the footy down south, due to climate and ground sizes which are generally fairly big in comparison to Melbourne grounds in particular. Therefore it tends to be quicker footy up here.

The top end in strong comps such as O&M would be similar or possibly a touch stronger (maybe?) but I’m pretty certain depth wise the QAFL is a lot stronger than the country leagues, through mainly sheer weight of numbers, so overall I think it would be overall slightly QAFL higher.

I saw on the AFL website that QLD is now second to VIC now surpassing WA in terms of playing participants, and unlike down south, the QAFL is the only comp at a good standard, it drops off pretty quickly.

Agree,,,

Agree,,,

Just to add,,, the size of the grounds in country victoria are as large as QAFL grounds all day long if not larger overall.
Anyway ,, is there any news to report from you fellow posters

have heard they might add Byron based Andrew too

 

[Still Me]

have heard they might add Byron based Andrew too

And if they get a key forward from
Nth Albury that I recently spoke to they will be team to beat I feel.

Yep, great recruit to the Grand Finalists.

Noosa picking up some quality depth players too. They may climb up the ladder.

Morningside have two big bookend recruits in Buzza and Dawson.

Palmy being Palmy. Looking to have a strong list.

Early stages it appears Redlands holding some guns.

Aspley with the Bastinac brothers.

Not seeing much recruiting news at Grange or Sherwood.

Hearing Ryan Burton (ex Port and Hawks player) and now at Southport will align with Grange.And agree Surfers have recruited beautifully and Minogue would just top them off.
Noosas depth will be much better, our reserves have been uncompetitive since entering the QAFL so have strategically recruited that way. Losing Conn to Corowa(FIFO) hurts so chasing a gun on baller! Numbers on track have been excellent
