AFL Queensland congratulates the boys selected in the 2013 squad and look forward to their continued development during the year. For the boys not selected, opportunities back at the NEAFL club level, which may include top up opportunities at Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast Suns, awaits the players who reset their goals and work hard for the remainder of the season.
