2019 Premiers!
Quito (2152) def. Boston (1824) to claim maiden flag

Having slid into 5th position, a flawless finals series saw the Quetzals claim its first premiership in club history. Young superstar Josh Dunkley capped off a glorious weekend with a monster 169 as captain. Daniel Rich, Dan Houston, Nick Haynes, Ed Curnow, Seb Ross, David Swallow, Hugh McCluggage, Shaun Higgins, James Worpel, Tom Lynch and Vice Captain Toby Greene all posting centuries as the Quetzals posted their largest score in 3 years under coach FTC.

Nick Vlastuin, Tom Phillips, Reilly O'Brien, Matthew Suckling, Jack Bowes and Callum Mills rounded out the premiership XVIII, with Luke Breust subbed off late on Sunday evening.

Although they didn't feature in the final, Aliir Aliir, Ryan Burton, Patrick Lipinski, Jacob Hopper, Scott Lycett, Paul Seedsman, Tom Langdon & Jeremy Cameron were all key contributors to the side throughout the season.

The acquisition of Toby Greene in the mid-season trade period was the turning point for Quito, with the GWS forward averaging 121 points across his 6 games for the club.

A busy offseason beckons, but for now, carn the Quetzals!

End of Season 2019 Trade Period

Quito trade: Matthew Suckling & Rookie #12
Anaheim trade: National #9

An irresistible opportunity to snag a top 10 pick at the expense of an ageing Suckling


Ottawa give: R4
Quito give: Rhys Mathieson + Nick Holman

Mathieson and Holman have been valued servants of the Quetzals, however Rookie #4 should land a top prospect


Quito give: Tom Phillips, National #12 & National #37
Houston give: Hugh Greenwood, National #15 & National #57

With Greenwood headed to the Gold Coast for a fresh start, hopes are high for his 2020 season and beyond
Greenwood is expected to slot straight in to the Quetzals forward line

Quito trade: Aliir Aliir, Alex Neal-Bullen + Jordan Roughead
Carolina trade: Callan Ward

The Quetzals had been hunting a midfielder for a while, with Ward set to return from his knee injury next season.
Ward is a very consistent and reliable option

Quito trade: National #57
