AFL Allstars
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 07, 09 (8th, 11th)
Founder : None (bot team)
Premierships : None
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: None
AlfAndrews Medallists : None
Notes : The AFL Allstars was a team of bots named after AFL
legends, formed by the league administration for
the purpose of eradicating the bye which was
present in seasons 07 & 09. While the Allstars
never pressed seriously for a finals berth, they
did cause headaches and were at times very much a
a factor in deciding which clubs did!

Alberton Swamprats
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 04-07, 09 (Fnls, Fnls, Prems, 9th, 7th)
Founder : Porthos
Premierships : 06
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: None
AlfAndrews Medallists : Groove (04)
Notes : The Swamprats did have an impact with their largely
character-laden team operating through the mid-200s.
With one flag and one runners-up trophy from three
Grand Final appearances (they drew a Grand Final with
the Furies before losing the replay, the "Swampies"
could arguably be regarded as the most successful
club to no longer be in operation.
Matches between the Swampies and other teams, in
particular versus the Roys, would mutate into
virtual yobbo grog parties, and any match thread
was a delight - if disturbing - to read.
After a year in recess, a reprise instigated by
Alberton Magpie would only last the one season,
and the Port-based team are now sadly resigned to a
page in Sweet FA folklore.

Darkness Eternal
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 02-03 (6th, 6th)
Founder : Hitman
Premierships : None
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: None
AlfAndrews Medallists : None
Notes : The 'Shadows' stormed into the competition for
season 02, poaching players left and right and
talking plenty of talk. They failed as a footy
team, though, failing to feature in any finals
action over their two hyperactive seasons.

Dingoes
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 01 (7th)
Founder : Mobbenfuhrer
Premierships : None
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: None
AlfAndrews Medallists : None
Notes : The (Bigfooty) Dingoes were formed by Mobbenfuhrer in
order to give the first team (Kournikova) an opponent
for initial scratch matches. The team persisted to
participate in Season 01, though their season was
spectacularly unsuccessful. The Dingoes folded at the
end of the season, with new club Razors picking up
many of the players and offering an unofficial link
between the two entities.

The Dragons
(Seasons 05 to 07)
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 05-07 (Fnls, 10th, 12th)
Founder : Pie 4 Life
Premierships : None
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: None
AlfAndrews Medallists : None
Notes : Commenced in Season 5 in a tumult when the newly
formed list was plundered by another new side, the
Las Vegas Bears. The last laugh was had by the Dragons,
though, who through a later merger with the Southern
Sharks outlasted the Bears by eight seasons and
counting.

Hurricanes
(Seasons 02 to 03)
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 02-03 (Prems, Fnls)
Founder : EaglesKickAss
Premierships : 02
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: Blues^Rock (02)
AlfAndrews Medallists : None
Notes : Sensationally, the founder of the inaugural
premiers - the Seventh Wonders - left that team
at season's end, formed a new one, and went on to
win another pennant this time with the 'canes.

Junkyard Dogs
aka Ardent XVIII, Pagan Ducks
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 01-04 (6th, 8th, Fnls, 12th)
Founder : hilly (99% sure)
Premierships : None
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: None
AlfAndrews Medallists : None
Notes : hilly left the Ducks at the end of the inaugural
season, handing the reins to Darky. Later it
seemed Blueworms was the player who generally
ran the show. After changing name to the
Junkyard Dogs a couple of seasons later, the
team languished in the lower reaches of the
ladder most seasons, and folded after season 04.

Koalas
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 06 (Fnls)
Founder : rota69
Premierships : None
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: JIMMY_C8 (06)
AlfAndrews Medallists : None
Notes : Formed in season 06 along with the East-Side Hawks,
the Koalas lasted just the one season, though they
give the the finals a shake in that year.
Before the next season the Southern Sharks FFC
was formed, and a number of Koalas players moved
to the new team. This pretty much spelled the end
for rota's venture.

Las Vegas Bears
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 05-07 (11th, 2nd, 10th)
Founder : hilly
Premierships : None
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: None
AlfAndrews Medallists : None
Notes : Apparently born out of something called the "BFFC".
Appeared moments after the Dragons did and poached
some of the latter's squad. Any smugness inherent
in these coups would prove successfully reprised
upon when the Bears folded after three seasons,
while the Dragons still compete to this day as a
combine with the Southern Sharks.

Southern Sharks
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 07 (Fnls)
Founder : Frankston Rover
Premierships : None
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: None
AlfAndrews Medallists : MCPHEE_IS_A_GUN (07)
Notes : Formed in Season 06 under the management of ex-Koala
Frankston Rover. There was some debate as to whether
the formation of this team was at the expense of the
single-season Koalas.

Team Timmy
aka Grendel FC
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 01 (5th)
Founder : Grendel
Premierships : None
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: None
AlfAndrews Medallists : None
Notes : Shortly after the first scratch match between Team
Kournikova and the Dingoes, a team initially referred
to as the Quiet Achievers was submitted by Grendel,
and was then immediately thereafter dubbed Team
Grendel. Another name change occurred all within the
same day and Team Timmy was born. Team Timmy was the
third Sweet FA team formed, but only lasted the one
season before disbanding. Management of the team was
passed to GoEagles after the 01 Season, but interest
waned and even sponsor Teasin' Touloulah was unable
to coax them out for another run.

Titans
aka Team Kournikova
Rich (BB code):
Seasons : 01-06 (2nd, 4th, 4th, Fnls, Fnls, 9th)
Founder : Mags / QT
Premierships : None
Mobbenfuhrer Medallists: AlfAndrews (01)
AlfAndrews Medallists : AlfAndrews (01)
Notes : Team Kournikova has the inviolable honour of being
the oldest team in Sweet FA history. Formed by Mags
and QT whilst inaugural Administrator Mobbenfuhrer
was hunting around to fill a first team, this club
took to the field in the first match played on
Bigfooty soil, defeating the next-to-be-formed
Dingoes in a scratch match that trumpeted the
arrival of early legend AlfAndrews (9 goals) and
setting the benchmark for the initial season.
After winning the first preseason competition, and
coming runners-up in the regular season, the name
'Team Kournikova' was dropped, and the team entered
Season 02 using their nickname "The Titans" as their
new club name. Unfortunately, this proved an ill
omen, as the Titans were never able to reprise the
strong showing of the first season. They dipped out
of the next four finals series with semi-finals
losses, before missing the finals for the only time
in their existence, in Season 06. At the end of this
season, the Titans disbanded.
The Titans were arguably the most identifiable of
the "past clubs", despite never having won a
premiership.
