A quick scan of the AFLQ teams this week will show up a number of names that WFN readers will recognise. The most significant being the amazing lineup in the Brisbane Lions reserves team.

The Lions will play Broadbeach this weekend. From the backline - we see Niall McKeever the Irishman at fullback, Donald Barry from PNG at half back flank, Tiernan Carbry from PNG in a foward pocket, Pierce Hanley from Ireland and the Japanese born Sean Yoshiura both playing on the ball and PNG's Amua Pirika and John James on the extended bench.

At Labrador they have PNG's Emmaus Wartovo and Stanis Susuve lining up and making his senior debut this weekend for the Western Magpies is American Bryan Dragus.

And that's just at senior grade in the top division - there is also a large PNG contingent at Coolangatta in the Pineapple Cup competition. Also of note in Queensland is Emmanuel Tupia from PNG who will represent the Queensland Under 18s in the TAC Cup against Geelong this weekend.
