Talk:Australian rules football in Queensland

message: This article focuses primarilly on AFL in Brisbane. I wonder whether perhaps it should be renamed AFL in Brisbane. I'm led to believe that Cairns is an AFL enclave where AFL is more popular than league or union, yet the article doesn't mention this at all. In fact there have been a few first grade AFL games played at Barlow Park in Cairns in the last few years. The article could talk about the history of how that came to be the case and describe the local competition etc. Otherwise I suggest renaming it to AFL in B'bane -- Adz 05:43, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As someone who lives in FNQ (in Atherton to be precise) I can confirm that AFL is popular in Cairns, but not yet more popular than AFL. Nonetheless, it would be great to get some info on the sport outside on Brisbane on here. Do you have anything that we could use?--dan, dan and dan 06:40, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not at the moment, but I'm heading up that way for christmas so I'll see if I can dig anything up. -- Adz 06:42, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: To quote from Wikipedia:Citing sources:
Remember though: the most important thing is to enter comprehensive reference information — that is, enough information so that a reader can find the original source with relative ease.
Quoting whole decades (up to forty or so years) worth of newspapers as a source does not fulfil this requirement, thus defeating the whole purpose of referencing. I will remove these references until more specific ones are given.--dan, dan and dan 06:46, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Sources

message: The assertion that there were 300 teams in South-East Queensland in 1883 is, at best, dubious: contemporaneous newspaper records refer to Brisbane, Excelsiors, Wallaroos, Grammars and Athenians (Ipswich) and three of these teams report having no more than two teams each ('senior' and 'junior' 20s - see the Brisbane Courier of 5 May 1883: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/19790889) Perhaps the original source said 300 players? (more likely, with only a few known clubs each typically with two teams?)
Unless it can be substantiated, I propose to delete the reference to 300 teams Peter Eedy (talk) 01:38, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now amended this item - note that the population of Brisbane in 1880 was around 30,000 (it did grow to around 100,000 by 1890) - 300 teams each with 20+ players would require around 8000 players - nearly half of the entire male population of Brisbane (including infants and the elderly).
