Media BEST 40 THREADS IN THE HISTORY OF SWEET

[Headless]

In Season 33, Headless endeavoured to celebrate board (bored?) contributors throughout the season - and that they did! Using the premise that posters who were posting good content were more likely to need Stingose by virtue of being closer to the beez Trophy , the thread fostered a wonderful celebration vibe.

Dear god ... this is literally plumbing the depths ..

Media - Do you need STINGOSE????? A Season 33 beez Trophy Analysis!!!!!

Hi everybody. Well, not everybody; I don’t think EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD is going to be reading this thread – ha ha! Mobbs, imagine how many teams you could fill if EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD joined the Sweet FA!!!!!!! Wahey!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laughv1: Anyway, it’s Headless here –...

Number three is an all-time 'feel-good' story. Having established the HIT (Headless Interchange Thread) to #celebratethepine, Headless miraculously won the award at the very last moment over respected contenders Magus, Raveneyes, hilly, Pea Nut, and Hawks1994.

A season-long endeavour, this was a slow burn.

ROUND 17 REVIEW:

Wow. What a very special journey.

Keen qootballers will remember that the end of the Season 33 home and away season was extremely tight. In fact, there existed a four-way fight for the final spot in the finals series entering the last round.

Always the analyst, league stalwart Headless put together this thread examining all the possible iterations at play for the Royals, the Demons, the Swamprats, and the Wonders.

A simple premise, but executed brilliantly.

Media - Four is not the same as one

As we enter the final home and away round for Season 33, a quick glance at the ladder tells us there's a four-way FIGHT for the last finals ("last finals" is an interesting phrase, isn't it?) position. Thanks to Ljp86, the current ladder: Team P W L D Pen For...

So - what did the 13 captains choose as the best thread in the history of the Sweet FA? Whilst not unanimous, the winning thread was an earnest exploration of what makes a beez Trophy winner. It covered in depth the victories of the five most recent winners at the time: manangatang, TheInjuryFactory, Tigerturbulance, Barrybran, and Elton Johns Wig.

A BIG THANK YOU to the 13 captains involved in this. And a big thank you to everybody who has ever contributed to the Sweet FA - all of your threads were considered!

Now, let's never speak of this thread again.

This is some wonderful self-promotion Headless. You've captured the true essence of Sweet FA in a single thread.

tony's origin story in the Sweet FA is well-known, broken by at-the-time Mount Buller LG member Harvey Manfrenjensenden, based on a squad submission typo by the Baghdad Bombers.

But once tony had joined the league, it was up to somebody - anybody - to give the league some insight into their newest poster. And, on this occasion, it happened to be Headless.

Media - The development of a Sweet FA poster: re-meet "tony"

tony's introduction to the Sweet FA was unusual to say the least - perhaps unique. But a touch over 24 months later, tony has blossomed into one of the league's best-known and hardest-working posters. For those unfamiliar with the story, tony's introduction to the league was one of chance...

I feel a common theme is emerging.

Probably why they’re all the best threads though.

In an uncharacteristic melt, league Hall-of-Famer Headless responded to recent All-Sweet FA selections pertaining to the interchange.

Expertly crafting an argument that Ant Bear would not choose any half-forward flanks on the basis of previous selections, Headless wowed the league, leading to equally clever responses like this one:

In a classic interview-style thread, Headless chatted with incoming co-captain Callums_Guns to discuss all things Mount Buller. We laughed, we cried, we nodded with agreement - and then the interview started!

Callums_Guns. One of the most engaging, respected, and hard-working posters league-wide. You would be hard-pressed to find anybody that had anything negative to say about Callums_Guns. Hard-pressed. You would have to say that CG's Sweet FA career so far has been a successful one. Callums_Guns...
