Season 19 (2015) - 1Season 18 (2014)
This was Okeydoke7's first season as administrator of the league. Season 18 saw the reintroduction of the Las Vegas Bears to the league who had played their last game in Season 7. Also, the league saw the return of former administrator Frankston Rover who lead the charge for a new expansion bid called the Coney Island Warriors. This saw the league increase from 10 teams to 12 and as fate would have it, the Bears would start the first part of the season on the very bottom as the Warriors start on the very top. The Bears were eventual Wooden Spoon winners with the Warriors making it through to the second round of finals before bowing out to the Furies. The Baghdad Bombers changed their name to the Baghdad Bandits. The Mount Buller Demons won their first ever premiership, ending an 18 season drought against the Fighting Furies.

Season 19 saw a third and fourth (Alberton -> Sin City, Gumbies -> Wolves) established club change names in 3 seasons, leading to a new rule requiring administrator approval prior to names being changed. The off-season was also kept busy through several charity drives for Oxfam and BeyondBlue, and the arrival of the NWO Dragons, a gimmick designed to create controversy and discussion around the league. The Warriors continued the luck-laced beginning, finishing on top after the minor round, while the Wonders earned their first ever wooden spoon. The Bears scraped into the finals due to a final round draw between the Royals and the Swamprats, only to bow out in the first week of finals. The premiership was clinched by the Dragons FFC over the unlucky Warriors, the first in their 15 season existence.

Season 20 (2015) - 2
The milestone 20th season began with controversial scenes due to the administrator okeydoke7 not seeking consultation from the committee over the fixture, resulting in outcry from traditionalist league supporters over the unfair result. Once it was clear there would be no movement above, the season got underway, a season which would be the last overseen by okey. Season 20 was momentous also for the introduction of a secret simmer, as a means to remove any ability target a specific person over claims that they cheated to benefit his/her own team. After losing their first 8 games, the Wolves sensationally scraped into the finals, after winning 6 of their final 8 games, and only one win clear of the bottom placed Hawks. Amazingly, only 3 games separated the 4th placed Dragons from the bottom dwellers. The Fighting Furies won the grand final over the Mount Buller Demons, becoming the first club to 5 premierships.
