Mark: D   Thoughts: It was a tough year for the Red Lions with just the three wins and 15 losses. Minus a couple of senior players from 2015, combined with the age of their list heading into the year,…

Mark: C   Thoughts: Might seem harsh to give them a C in comparison to other sides, but when you look at the year as a whole, missing finals equaled a failure to the Morningside Football Club. Sitting on the…

Mark: B Thoughts: The prelim drubbing the Magpies copped at the hands of Palm Beach was a terrible way to finish the year. A loss in the penultimate week is never easy to swallow no matter what the margin is,…

Mark: A+   Thoughts: It wasn’t a perfect season, but when it counted Labrador played their best footy. The Tigers’ 2016 campaign is the perfect example of the footy cliché that premierships aren’t won in May. At 2-4 after six…

Western Magpies co-captain Cal Carseldine has won the  Bill Pierce Medal for Best and Fairest player. The Bill Pierce Medal count was the highlight of the Pies presentation night conducted on Saturday evening at Chelmer. Carseldine was a consistent performer all…

Lenny has still got it If you think as soon as AFL players retire they not only lose their fitness but their skill as well, you should probably think again. Why you ask? Because I watched St Kilda champion Lenny…

BnF The Best and Fairest winners just keep on rolling in, and this time, it’s Tom Overington at Sandgate. Tommy O had a fantastic year in the green and red, becoming their most prolific ball winner through the middle, and…

Mark: B+   Thoughts: At the start of the year, if you offered Mt Gravatt two finals and a few big wins over teams they have struggled against recently at the start of the year, they would have taken it.…

One less on the merry-go-round After taking Palm Beach Currumbin to a QAFL Grand Final this year, Chad Owens is going around again as head coach of the Lions for 2017. I’m glad both parties reached an agreement, definitely the…

Nearly 20 years ago to day, the West Brisbane Bulldogs broke an 18-year premiership drought to claim the 1996 QAFL Premiership. Now, they are inviting everyone involved to come and relive it. On October 8 at the Story Bridge Hotel,…

Millsy Wayde Mills proved he was one of the most valuable recruits of 2016 in a half of football on the weekend. Yes, Mills has been a star for Labrador all year (you don’t win a Syd Guildford by accident),…

LABRADOR v. PALM BEACH CURRUMBIN Labrador 4.0, 9.3, 12.8, 15.12 (102) Palm Beach Currumbin 3.3, 5.4, 6.6, 7.7 (49) Back-to-back. Three words that are going to sound very sweet to Labrador fans for the next 364 days. The Tigers are…

Morningside got up in a thriller on Saturday to claim the 2016 QAFL Reserves Premiership. This is how they did it.
