  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 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).
A major reason for this improvement was an intensification in missionary endeavour on the part of southern states 'football evangelists', many of whom, characterising the burgeoning post-war mobility of the Australian population, were lured north by the obvious climatic attractions of the appropriately named 'sunshine state' (the unpleasant experiences of the 1950 Brisbane carnival notwithstanding).

 Coorparoo, Queensland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coorparoo is a southern suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Historian Leslie E. Slaughter, in a paper presented to the Historical Society of Queensland on 28 November 1953, wrote that "the name Norman's Creek is a corruption of the original name of Gorman's Creek, named after Lieutenant Owen Gorman of Her Majesty's 8th Foot Regiment and who was the last commandant of Moreton Bay.
At a meeting on 22 March 1875 of the residents at Frederick Wecker's home it was resolved "that the name of the locality and the school should be Cooraparoo" after the Aboriginal name for the area around the creek but the Board of Education chose the spelling 'Coorparoo' and the district finally had a name.

 Coorparoo
The long awaited first premiership arrived in 1960, and a small measure of extra satisfaction was derived from the fact that it was achieved at the expense of the 'Roos' grand final nemesis of 3 years earlier, Sandgate.
Coorparoo's revenge was emphatic as they won by 50 points, although the fact that they amassed a total of 40 scoring shots to 15 suggests that even this margin scarcely reflected their dominance.
The QA(N)FL during the remainder of the 1960s was to be dominated by 2 clubs, Coorparoo and Mayne, which between them would account for 8 of the decade's 10 flags (4 apiece).
