It's Heritage Round (yes, really!), so let's combine two of the great loves of the Sweet FA- music and looking back at the past. Let's check out what song was top of the ARIA charts when this weeks combatants first met.
Shoutout to Mr Magnificent for making this task so much easier due to Sweet...
31 players have played 100 or more matches for the Wonders, and by sheer coincidence, 31 players have also played 100 or more games for the Gumbies. Yet no one has played 100 or more games at both the Wonders and the Gumbies.
This Sunday, that changes as Mop Makes History.
You know Mop, he's...
EXTREME Qooty Tipping.
No Wednesday night nag 'n' tags, no worries if you take a midseason holiday, no avatars of embarrassment, no reason not to give it a go. Just set and forget- how good!?!

Two teams meet with both having seasons better than the ladder suggests. Their Wonders season roared to life after the team sheet snafu mid season and were snapping at the heels of top-four. The Old Boys have struggled for W/L momentum, yet the gap from one week to the next has been minimal. One...
An elimination final beckons between two teams who this season have well and truly ridden the waves of the sim. After bundling out of season 39, the Roys start to season 40 was little better, however the club roared home and came mighty close to finishing fourth. The Swamprats meanwhile were...
These two teams have well and truly flipped their fortunes from awful in season 39, to consistent upper-ladder teams. The Gumbies will be smarting at narrowly missing top spot while the Demons are desperate to flex their Qeptember muscle. This should be a quality clash.
THE HEAD TO HEAD...
A clash of two teams with high percentages who balance masterful offence with miserly defence. The Hawks are in extremely hot form having whooshed home for the third consecutive season, narrowly snatching top spot in the process. The Dragons meanwhile wobbled a bit with some narrow midseason...
Ladder Leaders continue to take, and commit to, bold action.
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM GUMBIES FFC.
NIL EMBARGO, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.
In season 35, Gumbies FFC engaged in a wide-ranging review to address the issue of their emissions, specifically that the club was responsible for 5...
Heritage round continues on and the Falcon Files has another piece of throwback media for you, it's time for the S40 edition of $weet $alary $peculation$.
On a recent Sunday afternoon, this writer was awaiting philreich to finish posting a thriller so the ladder and results thread could be...
Another day of Heritage Round, another piece of throwback media. This time, we go back to the Falcon Files' first piece of media- Sweet by AFL Team.
Talking about the AFL is frowned upon by some in the Sweet FA, to those people, get ready to frown.
One of the great aspects of the Sweet FA is...
Well folks, it's heritage round, so let's do some throwback media. It's time for another instalment of Falconista's Ladder Update.
The league consists of thirteen proud teams. Some have long histories, some short, but the fact is all have a history. If each season is combined, this is what it...
The player who has won pretty much it all (yes, even an All-SFA) is reaching a milsetone. Happy 200th career game, GWS Goose.

A clash between two combatants who have bobbed around mid-table all season. Both teams are strong defensively have taken some big scalps on their way to finals. Is it the Dragons who keep alive the prospect of back-to-back grand finals or will the Wonders win their first final in three seasons...
The league’s two most recent premiers meet in the first of the elimination finals. The Hawks are in extremely hot form having whooshed home this season after a very slow start, while the Old Boys banked enough wins to continue their trend of metronomically making finals. Will the Hawks continue...
Both these teams have spent significant time this season in the top four, including seven rounds as the league's top-two. Both though have somewhat wobbled into finals. Do the Furies win their first final since season 32 or does the Bears league-leading defence shine through once again?
THE...
The Bombers have well and truly turned around their 2024 anus horribilis (leave it Pugsley) by finishing the season in top spot after a consistent season. Their opponents, the Swamprats, also won ten home and away matches and would be minor premiers if not for a teamsheet whoopsie-daisy. This...
For just the nineteenth time in Sweet FA history, a 500 game milestone has rolled around. And, may I be so bold to say, what a milestone it is, with the great beez raising the bat on this occasion.

Passing the baton: is an idiom meaning to hand over responsibility, a task or an achievement to someone else.
Sometimes the passing of a baton could be better.
Here DenieD (inside lane) 'passes' the baton of Gumbies captaincy to Falconista.
Other times, it is smoother than a freshly waxed and...
