HISTORY

Season 01 (2001)
In 2001, the Sweet F.A. commenced as the BigFooty Football League, but altered its name in the throes of setting up its inaugural season. Two teams (Team KFC and Dingos) formed and played a practice game, which in turn generated enough interest for another team to be put together.
This team was initially called Grendel Football Club, named after its founder, but the name was changed to Team Timmy Football Club prior to its first match. Yet another team was formed, known simply as The Terminators FC, and they took the field in a friendly game against Team Timmy. A fifth team, Team Pump, was formed, and the sixth, the Ardent 18, began to form at that time. Further practice games were played as a leadup to a preseason and proper season competition for the year 2001. Terminators FC then changed their name to Bigfooty Dragons FC, and the Ardent XVIII changed to the Pagan Ducks, and completed their team list to be a starter in season 2001.
Then the seventh team was commenced, and completed by Feb 16. They took on the name of the Seventh Wonders. Team Kournikova were preseason champs for 2001, while Seventh Wonders were inaugural premiers of the main season.

-- B&F - Jethro (Dragons) and AlfAndrews (Team Kournikova)
-- Leading Goalkicker - AlfAndrews (Team Kournikova) - 61

Season 02 (2002)
The Dingoes and Team Timmy folded, and three new teams, Darkness Eternal, Hurricanes and Razors, were formed. Razors established a connection with the folded Dingoes. Team Kournikova changed name to Titans FC. This meant that the S.F.A had gone from a 7 team competition, to a 8 team one. The Bigfooty Dragons took out the 2002 Preseason competition against Razors. After 4 rounds and a break, the competition experienced a change of direction as Mobbenfuhrer handed over the reigns as administrator to eagleskickass. From here the season continued with a few ups and downs until finally the Hurricanes defeated the 2001 premiers the Wonders in the Grand Final for 2002.

-- B&F - Blues^Rock (Hurricanes)
-- Leading Goalkicker - Red Baron (Razors) - 74
-- Best player in Grand Final - Blood Stained Angel (Hurricanes)

Season 03 (2003)
Before the beginning of season 2003 the Bigfooty Dragons FFC folded and 3 new teams, the Roys FC, West Coast Magic and Fighting Furies joined the Sweet FA while Pagan Ducks changed their name to the Junkyard Dogs and Team Pump changed to Mt Buller Demons LTD. This meant that the S.F.A was now a 10 team competition. The renamed Mt Buller Demons made it to the Grand Final, but were beaten by the West Coast Magic by 10 points.
-- Administrator - EaglesKickAss, Mobbenfuhrer, Deestroy
-- Clubs - 10 (Darkness Eternal, Fighting Furies, Hurricanes, Junkyard Dogs, Mount Buller Demons, Razors, Roys, Seventh Wonders, Titans, West Coast Magic)

-- B&F - BT (Mount Buller Demons)
-- Leading Goalkicker - BT (Mount Buller Demons) - 72

Season 04 (2004)
There were quite a few additions to the league as well as folding teams after the conclusion of the 2003 season. Darkness Eternal and the Hurricanes folded, while 5 new teams were added to the league, in Alberton Swamprats, BigFooty Bombers, Blues Brothers, Fremantle Dockers and Geelong Gumbies. This left the competition at a record number of 13, necessitating a bye. The Roys, in their second year in the competition, won their first premiership, by 20 points against debutants the BigFooty Bombers.
-- Administrator - EaglesKickAss
-- Clubs - 13 (Alberton Swamprats, Bigfooty Bombers, Blues Brothers, Fighting Furies, Fremantle Dockers, Geelong Gumbies, Junkyard Dogs, Mount Buller Demons, Razors, Roys, Seventh Wonders, Titans, West Coast Magic)

-- B&F - Stegelator (Bigfooty Bombers)
-- Leading Goalkicker - Groove (Alberton Swamprats) - 108

Season 05 (2005)
For the 2005 season, there were again a number of changes to the format of the competition, with Blues Brothers, Junkyard Dogs and West Coast Magic folding, and both the Las Vegas Bears and a new, unrelated, Dragons team entering the competition, resulting in the elimination of the bye and a twelve-team competition. Prior to the regular season, a three-team tri-series between the Seventh Wonders, the Fremantle Dockers and the Las Vegas Bears stood in for the Preseason Competition which had disappeared in recent seasons, but would return for good not long afterward. In the regular season, the Fighting Furies won the premiership over the Alberton Swamprats by 11 points, but needed a second attempt to achieve this after the original Grand Final ended in a draw.

Season 06 (2006)
There were 2 folding teams and 2 new teams in 2006, with the Razors and the Fremantle Dockers folding, and the East Side Hawks and the Koalas joining the competition. The number of teams therefore, remained at 12.
Last years runner-up, the Swamprats, won the premiership by 17 points over the Las Vegas Bears.

Season 07 (2007)
The Koalas and Titans folded, the Southern Sharks and the AFL All Stars were added to the competition, and the Seventh Wonders changed their name to the West Coast Wonders, the competition remaining at 12 teams for the third season running. The BigFooty Bombers won the premiership over the Fighting Furies.
One of the competitions most controversial sensations occurred when the Southern Sharks defeated the Roys in a final, only to be penalised 5 goals for late team submission, reversing the result. The Sharks would lose their next final and bomb out the series.

Season 08 (2008-1)
Before the beginning of the 2007/2008 season, The Las Vegas Bears, Alberton Swamprats and the AFL AllStars folded, while the Southern Sharks, and the Bigfooty Dragons merged into one club, the Southern Dragons. No teams were added to the league, so the league had a total of 8 teams under new administrator TFLUA-Tiger.

Season 09 (2008-2)
League goes back out to 10 teams, with the Alberton Swamprats and AFL All Stars re-admitted. Roys fold, while the Mod Squad is formed under Fred and the Bigfooty Bombers officially change their name to the Baghdad Bombers. TFLUA-Tiger steps down as admin and appoints Baghdad Bombers captain Doggiesin08 to the position.

Season 11 (2010-1)

-- EKA Medallist - Reardo (The Roys)

Season 12 (2010-2)
Under a mandate not to alter the number of clubs, the Sweet FA entered into Season 12 with the same eight teams that competed the year before. This year was to be a watershed season for the East Side Hawks, who claimed the premiership over the West Coast Wonders. After two runners-up trophies, the Hawks had finally asserted themselved on the big stage. The Gumbies again faltered during the finals, going out in straight sets. For the first time in some seasons, the Furies failed to feature in finals action.

-- EKA Medallist Gus (Mt Buller Demons)

Season 13 (2011)
With the same eight clubs, the league met 2011 with a new season and some concerns about flagging interest. Last years premiers, the Hawks, were struggling to attract activity, and the league as a whole was under review. The constituency responded with a groundswell of efforts to revive the competition's fortunes, and a positive jolt was felt throughout the community.
