Sherwood actually won 2 games. One of which was a big win against Moorooka.

I also don’t disagree with the idea that they might be well below where I and others predicted them. But perhaps new coach might coax some players to come back or move to Sherwood. I think Thommo 42 needs to make a comeback and show em how it’s done!

Definitely an unknown quantity this year, hopefully a bit of a bounce back.

Pretty much all of the 'old guard' has now moved on, pretty much everyone that played in the 2021-22 flags are well over 40 now, and while the mind might be willing the bodies are less so.

They will be a genuine 3rds with blokes missing out on Colts and Ressies playing, and then the balance to come from a huge list of about 60 blokes! We have heaps of young guys from the University colleges who are training with us and keen to take up the game, so not much experience, but plenty of youthful enthusiasm.

Would love to make a comeback, but I tear a hammy just rolling footies at u11 training unfortunately!

That’s a huge turn around from struggling to get a team each week last year to 60 or so as you say. Surprised you didn’t join in on the double Friday night teams. But good luck to them this year and the new coach.

Look out whoever has Sherwood in Div 3 when they have the bye in the QAFL.

consistent message we have been given is that you're not allowed 2 sides...

That message hasn't changed, despite the obvious exceptions.

I don't really have the energy to fight to get another side up given its against the rules as we have repeatedly been told for 5+ years...

I agree that the “2 x Friday night teams is the devil” had definitely been the message for a long time.

However AFLQ created the precedent against this draconian decision last year with Coorparoo and then there was a teleconference in December for all Friday night comp clubs where it was stated that:

(1) one team clubs could have a 2nd side only if registered numbers supported it & the club agreed to a provisional licence for Saturday footy in 2026 (and if not, regardless of reason, you lose that 2nd team in 2026) -eg. Pac Pines, Moorooka & Eagles are all on this agreement, or:

(2) if you were already a Saturday club you had to show by Jan/Feb that you had the numbers for 2 teams and this wasn’t impacting surrounding clubs (I.e. there wasn’t mass transfers in)- eg. Coorparoo is on this agreement.

Not sure how I feel about all that but that’s the messaging. Let’s see how it plays out. I have to say though the 2 teams playing each other for premiership points is, well, interesting. I suppose when the messaging was the safety aspects of limiting travel and creating 4 hubs and therefore dropping divisions of standards as a result admin painted themselves into a corner.

Well if you play even one senior game in div 2, Div 1 or QAFL you cannot play. However if you play ressies in Div 2, 1 and/or QAFL you can play Friday night.

Thats what the rules state, and when Baz Gibson was in charge at AFLQ it was enforced very very strongly.

However I think you'll find the bloke running the comp last year was pretty loose on it and just made it up as he went.

We encountered blokes who had played QAFL seniors running around against us, when we politely enquired about it he had swallowed some excuse and just said 'too bad, I'm allowing it"

Well we can see where the clusterfluck of decisions have been coming from. Didn’t you previously need a ‘please explain’ if you wanted to move to Friday nights and had played seniors in the same year?

Round 1 starts for some tonight with Moorooka’s second side taking on Eagles 1. But I believe Collingwood Park V Springfield will be the game to watch in Brissy South. Glasshouse V Hinterland will be a local affair and one to watch in SC. Not a look to choose from in Brissy North but I think Mayne V Sandgate will be packed as they also play each other in Div 1 the next day. And GC comp I think Southport V Ormeau will be a very ‘talkative’ game.

Friday night ‘kick and giggles’ is back!

The Sandgate boys play tonight and Saturday. Looks like all the north teams are playing tonite.
At least we can talk about footy going forward.

Competition integrity not high on the agenda obviously.

I love the kick and giggle BP, nearly as much as Freddy who is a Friday night footy connoisseur.

I’d love some comments and insights from him on the state of affairs.

Huge night last night at the Nest. Big crowd saw a great contest between the Panthers and the new Eagles. Panthers got up by 5 points in a spirited contest. Can see a real local derby rivalry building between these 2 clubs. Great to see the Kawana boys in the senior comp.

Great to hear. Kawana will be very competitive if they got that close to Caloundra
 
Had a look at the Moorooka V Mt Gravatt game. Moorooka too strong but curious to know if any feeling in the game since most from Moorooka came from Mt Gravatt. Big upset in Springfield beating local rivals Collingwood Park. And big concerns for Eagles if Moorooka 2 lost by 5 points to them. Will be an interesting comp in the Brissy south.

I notice the Southport V Ormeau was a fixture then became a bye for both? Looks like a long season for Narangba. Glasshouse showed who was boss in the local derby against Hinterland. Was quite surprised by that score.
