QFA Div 1

[smy1305]

Whats a key forward worth in Div 1? Hill kicked 50 goals in Div 1 in 2023 with 39 this year at aspley albeit 25 of those goals were reserves games. My understanding is his asking price is $400 per game. Do you think this is market value?

Sounds like a lot for a guy who was a good player in Div 1 previously but isn’t qafl quality.
Sounds like he’s a very good fella though and possibly could be parachuted in as an assist coach therefore increasing his price ?

Surely he follows the rest of Aspley and heads to Cairns or Vic!?

Massive signing at Springwood with Aaron Christensen great experience and knowledge. Unfortunately rumours are that first year premiership puma and 4th in the league bnf Liam Bird departing the club after receiving offers in WA in what would be a massive loss for the club.

What are the arrangements going to be for Caloundra with Carter Park and the Baringa complex?

Not entirely sure how it looks but it’s going to be a great asset for the club and give us great access to expand our junior base into Aura/Banya/Caloundra West.

We now have 4 seniors sides and plenty of juniors sharing one ground, the foot traffic means the ground is always chasing its tail and limited space for everyone. We currently only get access 6 months a year as we share North St with Little Athletics so this gives us a ground to use the entire year.

My understanding is all senior football matches will still take place at North St.

It’s a fantastic coup for the footy club no doubt logistical issues tho be overcome with 2 “club” basically running out of 2 different venues but in time will be sensational

Some good facilities up the Sunny coast now. Fishermans Rd, Meridian (Kawana), North Shore and now Baringa complex (2 AFL fields??)

Yep that's correct LB.

You'd imagine it would work pretty similar to Aspley's second ground. A great get for the club

Is the drainage better than carter park? Wonder if we'll see some games moved there after big rain

Went to the opening over the weekend and the grounds had barely any water laying around, impressed based on the amount we’ve had over the last week or so up this way.

Yea you would think it at least provides options. Biggest thing is that preseason isn't compromised by having to request use of someone elses oval space (like Kawana AFC and the meridan fields). Prior to this kawana SHS oval. Can be self sufficient. will help immensely. Think every coach now should be incredibly grateful for this decision

Anyone would think that AFL on the sunny coast is thriving.

Great news for Caloundra. Do we know whether Hinterland have finally come to an agreement with the cricket club at Palmwoods to use their ground for pre-season training before April unlike last year?

 

[StillGotIt]

Their socials reckon they're training at Palmwoods. As are Glasshouse at their fields with similar previous issues with cricket
