Interesting results for wk 1. Let's hope that scoring accuracy improves. Might have changed a result or 2.

Hornets win div 5. They have two NEAFL players playing that played last year and are both under 30 plus a plethora of old boys back after a few years out that are more than handy.
I understand that inclusion in Div 4 was requested but AFLQ insisted on following "protocol" with new teams to be entered in lowest division and then to earn the right to go higher by promotion. Fair call. I understand the reasoning but protocol alone can lead to some pretty lopsided outcomes in lower divisions.They would be top 3 in div 4.
I see AFLQ followed protocol with Maroochy starting in Div 5.

Especially when it comes to lighting audits hey Longy!
Not a new team. Actually just won a premiership in a standard of footy probably not dissimilar to FNF I would have thought?I see AFLQ followed protocol with Maroochy starting in Div 5. Typical of AFLQ.
Not arguing whether they are capable of matching Div 4 or Div 5. No sleight on any of the teams who have been able to get a gig straight in Div 4, good on them. But the inconsistency of AFLQ applying their own "rules" is laughable.Not a new team. Actually just won a premiership in a standard of footy probably not dissimilar to FNF I would have thought?
New teams go to Div 5, teams coming from elsewhere go to which ever comp suits their ability. Im not sure there is any inconsistency tbh. This side has always existed under the AFLQ banner.
Just out of interest though is there an obvious difference in standard bn div 4 & 5?

I agree Fan, that was the point I was trying to make. Don't forget Ormeau (new team) going straight into Div 4 last year and not winning a game all year. They bent their own rules and that was the outcome.Marcoochy have clearly joined the correct comp, and while Jimboomba are a 'new' team - they are a known quantity, so are in the right comp.
Aspley were always different, as they haven't played in this comp since about 2010.
It just proves the point though, don't have silly rules when you will continually bend them.
Ormeau are definitely a 5th Division team, not good for anyone when you can’t win a game.I agree Fan, that was the point I was trying to make. Don't forget Ormeau (new team) going straight into Div 4 last year and not winning a game all year. They bent their own rules and that was the outcome.
Remember that game against Bond Thommo? 14 players (incl coach).... no thoughts of forfeit. Just a desire to play the game.I've been around this competition for close to 10 years now, and the only forfeit I recall was us against Jimboomba in 2013 when there were 5 teams, it was a Saturday arvo game, it was the final round, the ladder couldn't change and we had 13 available and would play each other the following week in an elimination final anyway. (which we lost in extra time)
So not sure there is any histroy that suggests anyone will forfeit anything.
