G'day Gone Akers
Thanks for the reply. I've sent you a "Start Conversation" message.
Anything you can provide is greatly appreciated. Hopefully, it might spark a few more people who can help too. :thumbsu:
 
Good luck, Toucan Soup !

Over the past couple of years, I undertook a similar project for all senior football in Western Australia from 1885-1945 so that our sporting heritage was preserved. I admire your dedication and enthusiasm in recording the history of our sport in Brisbane and surrounds.

In my case, the most satisfying thing was hearing the thud of a 480-odd page book on a desk once it had been printed. It's a good feeling to know that people might take your book off the shelves at places like the State Library or the library at the MCG and flick through it, just as people will with your handy work in whatever form it takes.
 
Thanks for the positivity, MortlockWatcher
The biggest problem with this task is that many of the scores/results were never publicised. The responsibility was left up to individual clubs - so if they didn't call the Sunday papers, there may be no remaining record to rediscover. It is very much like trying to put together a jigsaw where the pieces are spread across the city (knowing some may never be found). I'm heavily reliant on the foresight of club officials and supporters to save a fragment of their own personal history.
Despite that, the actual puzzle is quite well progressed.
With the help of my "More Of The Kangaroo" friends, I've already put together all the QAFL results from 1904 to present - and have been using some of that information on the QAFL thread during this past season. If I can achieve the same outcome for the SQAFA/BAFL competitions (and maybe even the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast comps too), we can then determine the next step in sharing the info.
Also, if you want to send me a link or details of your own book, you might get another sale.
Thanks again.

This is a great amount of info, particularly about clubs that no longer exist. I’m intrigued by Deagon. How did they exist when right next door Sandgate was such a big, powerful club in those days, or were Deagon just a Sandgate 3rds? What were their colours, where did they play?
 
Breretonisahood Yeah, Deagon Dodgers was essentially a "Sandgate Thirds". My understanding is that they played home games at Sandgate's ground & wore an old set of green & red jumpers. (If I've got this wrong, anyone, please feel free to correct me.)
In some respects, it was "fashionable" at the time for the Big Eight QAFL clubs to align themselves with developing SQAFA clubs or even help set up satellite clubs. Sandgate had Deagon, Grange had Stafford, Mayne had Banyo (probably best not to get into the relationship between Wests & Sherwood here) - and even the rebirth of South Brisbane can be directly linked to Coorparoo. Some clubs were better at this than others.

I knew about Banyo. Had a mate who played for Banyo who was a very, very good player. Was repeatedly asked by Mayne to suit up for them, but preferred the fun and games at Banyo. Had some pretty interesting stories to tell about playing with Banyo!
 
Breretonisahood Two of the more unusual games I played were against Banyo:
1989 - The Bloods were one of the top Second Div teams that year. The day we played them at their ground, it rained heavily the whole week leading up to Saturday, and the field was a literal swamp. Our Second Div Reserves (4ths) were short that day, so I doubled up in both games. I knew before the day that I would play both games so made sure I brought two pairs of boots - but 15 seconds into the first game, the first pair were wrecked for the water and mud. A low-scoring game, but in reality, we were thumped in the Seniors by a much better team. The strange thing about it was that a Banyo player almost drowned in one of the lakes. Although covered in mud, no-one showered at the ground because there was a visible electrical charge flowing through the showerheads.
1991 - The next time I played Banyo was again their Home game, but this time at Windsor Park (Mayne). The Bloods were having a much tougher season this time around. The game was scheduled for the No.2 Field - and at half-time, it was a close encounter. My mob was leading, but not by a convincing margin. The game that had been played on the No.1 Field, might have been an Under 17s game, had finished - so the Banyo management suggested our game get moved across to that field. We were keen to agree, because aside from it having a much better surface, there was so much more space to run & break the game open. We ended up winning the game comfortably in a fixture that was played on two different fields.

Overall, I've got enough information to prepare a book of the history of SQAFA/BAFL (debatable whether I have the motivation and time though). However, a lot of what I have is the black-and-white outline of history, facts and figures. What is needed is the colour provided by the stories of other people involved. Perhaps it could be marketed as the "SQAFA Historical Colouring-In Book"?
 
Big thanks to Gone Akers who has come through with the Strathpine results for 1991 and 1992. 1992 was already complete - but First Division Seniors 1991 (a Swans premiership year) is now looking greatly improved.
If anyone else has info, results or scores that could help, please reach out. There is still a lot of missing information to find.

Hi Toucan. Have you an email I can send to? Looking to see what info, if any, you or the 'More of the Kangaroo' guys may have on Nambour and Hinterland over the journey.
 
G'day the doc 70
I'll send you a message with my email address.
I would be able to provide Ladders for the seasons 1993 to 1996. For 1993 & 1994, I can provide all Results, but not all Scores yet. 1995 & 1996 is going to require a stack of extra research, which comes down to time and availability. (That's why I'm always happy to accept more info on past results if anyone has them to share.)
The Senior club went into remission for some time. AFLQ records are poor from 2006 to 2010. I have Nambour re-emerging in 2011 in the State Association Div 2.
From 2011 to 2023, I think I would be able to access every Senior result for the Club. Ladders are also available.
