Parents, family members and general supporters of junior football can make a greater impact than they can imagine this weekend.
The power of positive actions is preached throughout all aspects of life and is particularly pertinent this round.
It is the annual ‘Positive or it’s Pointless’ weekend, where all spectators at junior football games are actively encouraged to be totally positive and eliminate any negatives.
Essentially, the focus is on clapping, cheering and being supportive, offering only positive comments, applauding the efforts of both teams, and respecting and not questioning umpires’ decisions.
“We all should be behaving like this at every game we attend, but what the ‘Positive or it’s Pointless’ weekend does is bring into sharp focus the benefits of encouraging rather than negative behaviour,” said AFLQ chief executive Richard Griffiths.
“The best thing that we can do for our kids is to be positive towards them and build their self-esteem irrespective of whether they win or lose. That goes for every young player out on the ground.
“Just as importantly, we have officials out there helping make sure we have a game to play, and we can only enhance our game by treating them with the utmost respect.”

State Minister for Sport Phil Reeves and Brisbane Lions star Luke Power are strong supporters of the campaign.
“If we want our kids to keep participating in physical activities, which is important for their health, it is essential that their experience in junior sport is positive and fun,” Reeves said.
Added Power: “Children are the future of our game – encourage them to do their best but let them enjoy it too.”

The Positive or it’s Pointless weekend began as an AFL Queensland initiative but has been embraced by all four junior football codes now, with rising soccer star Michael Zullo, established rugby league star Cameron Smith, and rugby union pin-up Will Genia joining Power in promoting the cause.
“If you’re on the sideline, you’re a role model too. So make certain your comments are constructive and not destructive,” Zullo said.
Swearing or abusive language will be frowned upon.
It is a universal message, concluded Griffiths, and one he expects Queensland’s AFL community to embrace.

Cairns Footy 2010

Hi,

I had the pleasure to coach the Brisbane team to Cairns last weekend and coming away with a 2-1 win was a great attribute to the girls.

The weather wasn't what we are used to with it being wet and heavy but the girls showed there skills and played well. Logan sent away 7 girls Jade Pregelj, Adair and Dimitee Henderson, Katie Brennan, Alicia Johnson and Pippa McWha and Mikayla Stephen.

All girls played exceptionally well. Katie Brennan kicked 18 goals in 3 games an absolutely amazing effort. Jade came away with player of the tournament, Adair dominated the backline and with Dimitee in tow they were unstoppable. Alicia with her first senior tournament away exceeded expectations and Pippa was thrown from forward line to the backline to the wing and and always did the job that was asked and Mikayla was the quiet achiever who popped up at the right time when needed.

The Logan girls did themselves and there club proud. I could not have asked anymore than what they gave.

Game 1: Brisbane 8-13-61 v Cairns 3-3-21
Game 2: Brisbane 4-4-21 v Cairns 6-5-41
Game 3: Brisbane 10-8-68 v Cairns 1-4-10

Cheers
