	The young and the restless - AFL - Sport - smh.com.au
		In his role as Queensland AFL talent manager, Mark Browning has been given major kudos for the remarkable fact that 11 players from his state were chosen - eight of those among the first 32 picks.
		It was those results AFL chief executive officer Andrew Demetriou was referring to when he told a national conference of 300 development officers in Melbourne last week that they should be aggressive in the pursuit of so-called "first-choice athletes".
		Grateful AFL recruiting officers talk of his ability not only to locate athletes in other sports, but to have them bring their athletic mates to screening sessions.

	Brisbane
		As the 19th century wore on, however, fewer and fewer Queenslanders became actively involved in the indigenous code, and indeed it would not be until the second half of the succeeding century that the asphyxiating stranglehold of rugby would begin to loosen.
		Queensland competed in the first Australian - or 'Australasian' (see footnote 1) as it was termed then - Interstate Championship series in Melbourne, and intermittently thereafter, but its record on the whole was ignominious.
		Queensland continued to compete in section 2, with their performances gradually improving in a direct reflection of the steadily improving standard of football in the state (see footnote 3).

	AFL drops the ball on radio rights - Opinion - theage.com.au
		Queensland is, of course, home to the Brisbane Lions — for three years recently the dominant club in the competition.
		Commercial stations 3AW and Triple M are set to be the AFL's first-tier broadcasters, with the ABC and newcomer SEN on a lower rung, often being frozen out of the match-of-the-round on Saturday afternoons.
		True, AFL chief Andrew Demetriou is on the record as saying, while figuratively bouncing the ball to start the contest for broadcasting rights, "I think we're going to do particularly well out of radio rights and all the radio broadcasters should take note of that".

		It will also be remembered by those — with the cause of development at heart and the fear of soccer in their heads — as the day when Queensland shed a little of its reputation as a frontier state where, despite the sun, the game will not grow.
		Moreover, Daniel Dzufer, a fine player for Queensland at this year's national under-18 carnival, is expected to lead a group of several more players out of the north on to rookie lists next month.
		The AFL's general manager of game development, David Matthews, said that Browning and AFL Queensland had had great success at identifying athletes and convincing them of their prospects.

		Queensland has over 22,000 participants in Auskick while USFooty claims to have conducted clinics for around 20,000 kids annually (see the World Footy News Census for more discussion of these numbers).
