Maroochydore Australian Football Club is an Australian rules football club based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland which competed in the Pineapple Hotel Cup division of the Queensland Australian Football League.

History

The Maroochydore Australian Football Club was formed to complete in the Sunshine Coast Australian Football League. This was an amateur competition that was formed in 1970 and continued until 1992. Other foundation clubs were Noosa and Nambour.

In 1993, the clubs from the competition played in the Brisbane Australian Football League, and later split up into various AFL South Queensland Divisions.

In 1998 Maroochydore was elevated to the major state competition in Queensland, in 32 matches Maroochydore won five. At the end of 1999 the Senior club was forced to fold and many players moved to the Northern Eagles.

Merger & Demerger

In 2004 Maroochydore had a desire to play in the Pineapple Hotel Cup, to overcome a lack of competitiveness the club opted to merge with the North Shore Jets. Seven years after Maroochydore and Northshore amalgamated for mutual gain in the senior ranks, the former has severed the partnership and gone it alone.^[1]

The decision to de-amalgamate was reached when Maroochydore held a special general meeting on 29 March. The new entity will be known as the Maroochydore Australian Football Club, or the Roos.

That was the name of the club when it folded at the end of the 1999 season, before its rebirth as Maroochy Northshore for the start of the 2005 season.

Northshore will be known as the Northshore Jets Australian Football Club.^[2]
