Yes - this is a better snapshot imo. But even then there are opinions like a.. holes on what is the solution. If any person on this forum was sitting in the chair then they would be getting pillored by all and sundry. I think Div 2 comp is the obvious place to have a 1 team Saturday comp. Not sure how it becomes a POD to the Fri comp other than the day itself though but might attract more clubs that have fallen back to Friday nights due to the current rules than we think. It makes good sense to align with a women's game or even put a 17.5 game on the Saturday if it can be coordinated between 2 clubs? I think it requires some real thinking outside the square and the bottom line is you want people at your game to have a drink and pie. No real other way of making a buck for most clubs at this level.

FWIW I think the obvious solution that HQ could look into to increase any fence sitters is registration costs (clubs could too - some say they don't make a dime out if it, I say bs) and looking at getting fees to clubs down.
The beauty of Fri night footy is that it distributes officials more easily meaning more comps can access these people if they are happy to do 2 games a weekend.

Problem re 17.5 is most of those clubs don’t have a team

Correct me if I’m wrong but Ipswich only had success when there was no salary cap and quickly went down hill when it was introduced?

Pretty sure the year we played Viccy Point we wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near what the cap is now, the following year when Carrara knocked us off we certainly recruited and looked after a few players but nothing over the top that’s for sure.

Ipswich isn’t an easy area to attracted players, even if you have the funds there to exhaust your salary cap.

Kimbo did a bloody great job at that club, I played there as his Senior assistant before moving across to coach Moorooka and all I’ll say is he turned that club around both on and of the field through his efforts and I guess that’s shown now he’s left the club and it’s already struggling sadly.

Great seeing him get the opportunity at QAFL level as a coach, we’ll deserved.

Just goes to show how important coaches are at this level. Not only do they have to coach and mentor they have to be good active recruiters.

Most clubs that have a coach who walks in and just wants to coach struggle at this level.

conspicously absent from any sort of announcement as a coach anywhere. Does the club he went to only give you a shout out if you played in the AFL ?

:rolleyes:
 
I think the situation might be the same up the coast. How many guys might miss out on night footy at Maroochydore and North shore and now have nowhere to go? I guess they end up fishing?
 
Northshore must be destined for Div 2 sooner rather than later though? Big catchment on the sunny coast, 2 x QAFL, 2 x Div 1 and then 2 x Div 3. Div 2 the missing piece of the sunny coast puzzle.

Why did you go up to Div 1 last year? As if you can field 2 teams this year in Div 2, I think the league should have said you are staying in div1.

Don’t waste your time responding Macman. Interesting he reckons the Vikings should have been made to stay up when I distinctly remember hearing that you Wynnum scum should !!!! off back to second division from the same mouth on the return round at Coorparoo.

A large number of Nth Shore's squad is made up of those in the property game - hence Fri nights are attractive. Many oppo players possibly had a card snuck in their shorts during games inviting to an open home the next morning. :)

Plus Caloundra 3rds now - not sure what division they will be in but likely div 4. Hence my comment the other day about the state of the code in SEQ - lots of blokes playing right now, just not on your traditional Saturday afternoon anymore.
 
You'd have to think so, maybe a few conversations with players at other clubs might push them that way. Especially with population growth at Caloundra it's really not that far out of the way from there
