Season 20, the Demons had like, 2 posters - Smartys Power and Van_Dyke . Plus cooney. Woo.
But as the sim would have it, they made it to the Grand Final against the Furies. In a thread famous for the Royals hijacking it by posting their B&F, Smartys Power was named as ruckrover (from memory), but 9 minutes into the game this happened:

1 : 9.26 - <<< princy_99 is coming on to replace Smartys Power >>>

And he never returned.

Smartys Power 0 (On) 9.26 (Off) Total : 10%

Furies won, and the bench in Grand Finals was forever named in Smarty's honour.

Just checked out the the ill fated scorecard for the Bangladesh women's ODI against Australia, and I noticed 2 names in particular. Their captain's name is Nigar Sultana, and the name of their number 10 is Sultana Khatun. I guess one could say that they're both part of their current best 11........

Their parents must be proud of their achievements in raisin them

As a Retired Policeman, you would be used to people not wanting to talk to you

Those that didn’t want to talk to me were people with something to hide…

Your still playing the man and not the persona. I guess some things never change.

Elton Johns Wig would not approve

Smartys is so good he actually got a position named after him!

Hi, Smarty.

Hey, it’s an improvement from the couple of weeks of non selection.

Bit sad this nugget of gold has been restricted to page 7 of Season 37, Round 9 thread.

You should make a thread about it.

THE FINEST OF THE PINE-EST Can you believe it? It's been nearly 10 whole seasons since the Sweet FA's most infamous benching of all time. The then league's Best Defender, future 2 time All-SFA, future captain and most importantly top 5 all time for Marks for the Demons, Smartys Power was aiming...

Cadsky when does the rest of your team turn up to help you out? Looking a bit like Cripps right now

Do you know the story of Smartys Bench?

Hello to the club I used to captain.

You’ve come up against the in-form forward of the competition. 13 goals in 2 games and I don’t see it slowing down any time soon.

Swamprats by 400 points.

As opposed to someone who was born on February 29, 1940 - such a person recently turned 21.

Speaking of parties, Why was the math book at the party so popular?

It had all the right angles

I think your Captain may have been offended on your behalf

Do they return your sense of humour when you retire, or is that lost for life?
