Expressions of interest are open
Surfers Paradise AFL Club is gathering expressions of interest for the 2027 football season from returning players, players wishing to transfer from another club, and players new to the game.
Whether you played with the Demons in 2026 or in an earlier season, are considering a move from another club, or are new to football and looking to become part of our community, we would like to hear from you.
Expressions of interest help the club plan for the season ahead, by understanding how many teams we will need to field and how many coaches we will need to appoint.
There is no fee and no commitment at this stage. Registration fees only apply if a place is offered and accepted.
Our junior AFL club provides football opportunities for boys and girls across our Junior and Youth competitions, from Under 8s through to Under 17s. Please complete the Expression of Interest form below and the appropriate club representative will review your submission.
Step 1

Step 3
We get in touch
If we need more detail, a club official contacts you using the details you provide.
Who should express an interest
Expressions of interest are invited from players returning to the Demons from 2026 or earlier, players seeking a transfer for the 2027 season, and players new to football. Each submission is reviewed by the football committee against the places available in the relevant age group. There is no fee and no commitment at this stage.
An expression of interest does not guarantee a place in a team and does not replace the official PlayHQ transfer process.
Expression of interest
Returning players, players joining from another club, and players new to the game are all asked to complete the expression of interest form. There is no fee to submit it, and it simply helps the club plan how many teams and coaches are required.
Committee approval
Offers of a place are made by the football committee and depend on available positions within each age group. Families are advised of the outcome by mid-January.
AFL Queensland transfer caps
Transfer limits between South East Queensland clubs apply for the 2027 season. These limits are considered alongside the club's own squad requirements.
PlayHQ transfer
Once a place is offered and accepted, a club official speaks with the player and their parent or guardian and initiates the “Request to Play” transfer in PlayHQ on the player's behalf. No action is required from the family.
Registration fees
Registration fees for 2027 are set by age group and listed in full below. Queensland Government Fair Play Vouchers may be applied at the online checkout.
