Ahhh yes the half back flank. Easiest line to pick of all. A half back, a centre half back and an inside mid.
Now expect there to be a hotly contested debate in committee in the coming weeks, as no doubt some veritable recluse of a half back player you've probably never heard of has racked up stats galore somewhere during the season while simultaneously completely underwhelming with their hermit-like activity. Despite only half a dozen defenders nominated at best each season, there will still be inevitable groans when the entire backline isn't chocked full to the brim with captains who play defence for easy passage into the side and guys marginally too active for a forward pocket/interchange rotation. Bookmark it.
Dingster - Las Vegas Bears
Now it must be said, it's hardly Dingster's first rodeo. In fact, it's his 26th to be precise. The Bears veteran has enjoyed another strong season on and off the field, having made the shift from the East Side to Vegas during the off season and back to his spiritual home after a 12 season absence. That must have been an overwhelming driving force behind his return, that and of course the fact that the Phoenix just plain stink.
The board's most handsome man has once again selflessly stationed himself behind the ball at the Stadium in the Sky in Season 35, and as a result of this sacrifice he will no doubt enjoy his first back to back selections in the All-SFA since ever. Now TiF you might ask, what makes you so confident Ding will just waltz onto the half back flank unopposed? Well, because he did just this in Season 34. Look it up.
Ding, you're now 2 from 2 for selections in TheInjuryFactory's Gut Feel™ All-SFA side so a hearty congratulations from me, you know I've always been a big fan of your stuff. Disregard the fact that you missed out the last time I made such a bold prediction, this committee is far less competent so this time I'm quite certain it's a fait accompli.
A PT Barnum style PR man of the highest order, Turbo has enjoyed another strong season of off field activity keeping his name once again in the bright lights and regularly in the headlines in Season 35, and as a result is a for the Gut Feel™ All-SFA side.
Playing the selfless skipper down back for team balance role to a tee, when it comes to key defensive positions, stats are largely irrelevant with so few nominated in these positions and these club leader types almost always find themselves into the side with minimal fuss.
As a key pillar down back for the finals bound Ophidians, I'm sure he's got enough numbers in field to back up a selection that will be sealed largely through off field presence and into his first back to back All-SFA selection which I'll be honest was a surprise when doing my bare minimum research for this.
Turbo, Welcome to the Gut Feel™ All-SFA side. 250kgs of love muscle certainly makes you one of the league's heavyweights and you've been duly awarded with this most prestigious of honours.
Sweet FA journeyman and Onlyfans feet fetish purveyor Cadsky finds himself selected in this season's Gut Feel™ side in the customary 4th or 5th best midfielder in his position that's been loud enough to sneak into a spot on the flanks.
A likely future admin as absurd as that sounds, the Moz will be buzzing at the prospect of joining illustrious company in this who's who of Season 35 royalty as the Royals tyro just feels like he's found that All-SFA sweet spot between promotion and production.
Cadsky, Moz, Morpheus of Zion (is that all of them?), welcome to the Gut Feel™ All-SFA side.
In a selection process where nepotism is king, this Royal looks likely to ascend to the throne in coming seasons, and I trust that a generous selection in the Gut Feel™ side will surely curry favour for this Warriors great in seasons to come.
