Notes
VIC entrants down by one following the withdrawal of Rosebud Heart (MSL4) which caused Brunswick Zebras FC reinstated to MSL4. Source. Does this mean Brunswick Zebras actually commence in Round 1, and fortuna 60 get a Bye ? All will be revealed over the next week. No hints on their facebook pages as at 13Feb.

- Or it will be like the other year when the NNSW buried a forfeit and then claimed they never entered, leading to us counting like madmen again? - J man708 (talk) 03:01, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- based on that draw, they gave one team a bye due the the withdrawal of Rosebud Heart, so i guess that confirms VIC entrants as 216 (+Heidelberg). Matilda Maniac (talk) 13:03, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
QLD : 13 (NPL) +13 (FQPL) +47 (BNE) +9 (FNQ) +6 (NQ) +6 (CQ) +9 (SC) +5 (WB) +5 (GC) +4 (MRF) +7 (SWQ) = 124 in total
- Does anyone have official final entry numbers from Mackay, South West Queensland, Wide Bay regions. User 2001:8003:5295:a100:3c3c:7120:c5ca:42d1
- Not yet. I searched for all four on 11/3. Matilda Maniac (talk) 06:20, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
- Wide Bay updated. It is possible the round numbers on sportstg are wrong (they have been before), and what they have is currently inconsistent with equivalent sub-zones (e.g. CQ) and with last years preliminary rounds. Didn't find anything from primary source yet. Alternatively, but it maybe that the last remaining Wide Bay team gets a bye in Round 5. Matilda Maniac (talk) 23:28, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
- final QLD numbers are 124. Details for MRF and SQL are from sportstg.com. Matilda Maniac (talk) 04:31, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

- at least 53 clubs - that information was prior to the entry deadline which is 26 Feb. Source. Matilda Maniac (talk) 06:39, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
- Draw taking place in an hour and a quarter. - J man708 (talk) 02:13, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
ACT : I'm a bit unsure of all the clubs and their current relationships to NPL Teams and their current competition. Matilda Maniac (talk) 04:09, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
NT : Draw March 12 - J man708 (talk) 09:03, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

So we're still doing the ridiculous MASSIVE TEXT INDICATION FOR WITHDRAWALS
Fair enough, that stuff is so much more important that things like "team qualified for FFA Cup" etc. I'm sure this is based on some real logic ... actually, I'm sure it isn't - merely people defending their stupid earlier decisions rather than admit they could ever have been wrong. 58.107.65.107 (talk) 22:11, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- opinion noted. Sore index fingers from scrolling down this article with the mouse wheel coming up !!! Round 7 information will clearly show which teams qualified for the Round of 32. Matilda Maniac (talk) 00:14, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- We don't really need to show who qualified as it's said in the lede of the article that the winners of Round 7 qualify. How about rather than complaining being a little more proactive in suggesting a solution for a problem that nobody else seems to see as an issue?
