THE STATE GAME IS NEARLY HERE

The annual stat game is on again this year and the mighty maroons travel west to face a mighty sandgroper outfit looking to win and win wellthey have picked a good squad and have a few ex afl players in the mix. But the rest are experienced players that have been quality footballers in the WAFL for years and have won plenty of flags and sandover medals. I hope queensland can give the sandgropers a good run fior their money even thought it is played over the in Mandural at. I think the queensland selectors will sit down at the end of this round and pick a squad of 30 or more to pick from. I hope they pick the players that have been playing well in the early stages of the NEAFL Northern conference. Not a whole heap of ex afl players for the sake of think because they played at the highest level that they will beat a strong WAFL outfit. It might back fire on them.

this is what I think the squad might look like. There are quite a few bolters in the side. The 2 from aspley I feel deserve a shot. Jeff Teale has been great all season and could be useful as the n umber 1 tagger against such a quality midfield that the sandgropers will have. But the side has it's usuals in there and they should be picked. I expect the boys to get flogged over there. But they will give it there all for there state I hope
