That's not 100% true. Windsor-Zillmere was the original club. In the early 1990's a lot of the QAFL clubs were forced into mergers by the QAFL. Zillmere was merged with Sandgte, WG was merged with Kedron, West and Sherwood merged. This led to the teams having alternative names. Hence the North Brisbane name until 1995. The club voluntarily stayed out of the league in 1996 while they fixed their finances and came back in 1997 as a stand alone entity without Sandgate involved. Due to Sandgate no longer being part of the club it was named the Northern Eagles. In about 2004 they had the backing of Kedron Wavell RSL and changed their name back to Zillmere Districts.

In any event - the club itself never went broke. Shaw Sport went into financial difficulty (let’s call a spade a spade - they went broke) and Aspley had wanted into the QAFL for a number of years. There was even discussion between Aspley and Zillmere to merge at one point. AFLQ did a strategic review of football on the northside of Brisbane and decided that Aspley was in a better financial position and the QAFL license was moved from Zillmere to Aspley.
