E-Footy RECORD 29th - 30th March 2008 Issue 1 Editorial with Marty King Greetings and welcome to another exciting season of the Pineapple Hotel Cup. To newly ap- pointed club coaches and offi cials thanks for coming on board and good luck in the ever chal- lenging times at club land. After consultation with all stakeholders a number of changes have taken place in the off season which will hopefully promote autonomy and competition from within the competition. These changes include • Reverting to a “Final Five” format from the previous “Top Eight” system. This will cer- tainly make jockeying for fi nals contention more competitive and value add to away wins and percentage boosters • Moving to stand alone status for the Duncanson/Todd Medal Presentation. In 2008 due to the Queensland “Hall of Fame” format at this years Grogan Medal Night time restraints and individual status of awards means the splitting of the format which will be addressed again post event • A stand alone Pineapple Hotel Cup Grand Final for the fi rst time in the past three years. This will also result in the Preliminary and Grand Finals being played at the best avail- able neutral venue with the Reserves playing at the same venue as a Curtain Raiser • And of course this new format user friendly Football Record which will be available for clubs to download and print off and control distribution rather than incur costs and sometimes be unable to pick up records from AFLQ. Once again this will be trialled in 2008 and reviewed post season. I do encourage clubs to “experiment” with this and use the format to insert their own individual brand and messages they wish to promote through the publication It would be a gross understatement to say its been a quiet off season with a lot happening on a national front (17th AFL license on the Gold Coast) and domestically times of change within our own State League Competitions. We continue to promote varying levels of competition for the current and future wave of participants in the unique market which is Queensland footy. Contrary to southern beliefs the game has been alive and prospering in the northern state for longer than some may think. In 2008 we celebrate the landmark of 150 Years of Australian Football. It should be and will be a celebration of our great game and especially over Rivalry Round (May 9-10) we invite clubs to join in the party and create their own footprint to com- memorate this event Martin King Football Operations Manager Next Week’s Games E-Footy Saturday 5th April Wilston Grange v Sandgate Record Aspley v Maroochy/Northshore Burleigh v Springwood Chief Executive Offi cer: Richard Griffi ths Football Operations Manager: Marty King Coolangatta v Western Magpies Record Editor: David Heilbron Surfers Paradise v Palm Beach Currumbin Media Consultant: Peter Blucher Advertising: Penny Chapple Sunday 6th April All Correspondence to: Mayne v Noosa The Editor, Footy Record, AFL Queensland, PO Box 1211 COORPAROO DC, QLD 4151.
