I think it is clear that the SFA community at large is enjoying the mudslinging between the Wonders and Royals, but the rate the opposition thread is not the place. Please move all the mudslinging into this thread. Feel free to use YouTube videos to make your point. I feel this is an...

Last year my 6 yo daughter (5 at the time) was really keen for Toby G (her favourite men's player) and Georgia Garnett (her favourite AFLW player) to get together because their kids would be amazing players for the Giants. Its controversial, but lets face it, it has some merit. After discussions...

Everyone loves a bit of competition so I thought why not create one for the Kevin Sheedy medal. The Rules Everyone selects a top 10 in order You get 1 point for each player named who finishes in the top 10 You get a bonus 3 points if you get a player in the correct position. You get a bonus...

Hey guys, You may have noticed that I was not able to stay on top of the Rate Opposition comp this year. Real life is exceptionally busy for me currently and Ill be heading overseas for a chunk of this Season so no chance to do this properly this year. I do think that the comp has merit, and...

I love the concept of the hall of fame, something that is done much better than the Rugby codes (which is more my background) and I think about who should or could go in to the HOF, or what sort of things could a player do to push them into contention, I think about this far much more than I...

An unnamed source has indicated that one of the Grand Final teams may be fielding a player who may or may not have been a previously permabanned player who may or may not have registered under an alias. There have been whispers of a Discord chat and other equally reliable information...

Yet again the Sophomores have screwed it and left the Rookies high and dry and yet again The Goose is here to save the day. (I won't call myself a hero, but if others think it is approriate I won't disagree) Although the Sophomores are hopeless, Im not sure they are totally to blame for this...

When I was a youngster a local sports store known as Stacks advertised it was closing down, being a fan of the store, and concerned it would be my last chance to shop at my favourite store I rushed down with my hard earned cash from working at McDonalds (or possibly Target, I'm fuzzy on...

Its back! The concept is simple. All players are entitled to vote and rate the opposition's contribution to the thread in the classic 3, 2, 1 format. At the end of the round the votes will be tallied up and consolidated into a consensus vote. For a matter of simplification. Essentially if 5...

In the words of Edmund Burke that were made famous by JFK incorrectly quoting him “The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing” It is time for the good people of Sweet to stand up and be heard. It has long been known that the selection process for all Sweet is...

Not the best year results wise, but still some strong individual performances. 1. Steven Cognilio- very consistent season who will poll well in most games. Won the board big footy BnF in a canter 2. Josh Kelly - always polls well , does what the coaches want which gets votes 3. Sam Taylor -...

TheInjuryFactory gets me, he really gets me. Once he pitched the concept and more importantly created the graphic, the idea of venting my spleen to the world of sweet was too hard to pass up. I know many of you have probably come here to gain my thoughts on the competence of the selectors of...

Its back! After Callums_Guns did his best to ruin this fine competition it became clear I needed to bring it back! The concept is simple. All players are entitled to vote and rate the opposition's contribution to the thread in the classic 3, 2, 1 format. At the end of the round the votes will...

There is nothing more pretentious than some campaigner using a rarely used word when a common choice will serve equally well. This has never been more evident than when serial_thrilla described NaturalDisaster as perfidious. For those with the good fortune of not having to be in the company of...

A recent debate occurred at the House of Gumby between the Gumbies which has led to me approaching the greater Sweet FA community to garner their opinions. Unless you have been living under a rock, you’d be well aware that the Great GWS Goose was somehow overlooked from the All Sweet team. This...

The second year players look to be screwing it up again. Who would have thought. Rookies these days, etc etc. Just putting this thread as a placeholder for when, yet again, I'm inevitably forced to come in and save the day. Just thought I'd reiterate this is all about the Rookies and not...

these two are among my all time favorites, and I reckon that would be the same for most of us. Wondering how much we think they have in the tank. If you asked me late last year, I'd have thought that Davis would be in his last year and may struggle to be in the team at times. After the 2 trial...

As some one who enjoys craft beers and always looking for recommendations it as become apparent that the Sweet Fa is a hive of Beer lovers. In the midst of the lockdowns last year I unsuccessfully attempted a share a beer thing in the match threads. Despite this failure, I've revamped and...

My initial plan was to have the this as part of the Rate the opposition thread, however as Callums_Guns has taken over the running of the thread (something Im quite pleased about),I've decided to give this concept its own thread. Essentially the logic behind this is to determine who the SFA...

It is with great pleasure that I announce that I will not be involved in any expansion bid. Mostly because these seem like a lot of work that will ultimately be fruitless when these are knocked back at committee level. It seems that every second campaigner is starting there own vanity project...

The Torch component of the rising star is to reward the best poster of the Rookie class. Traditionally the sophomore class runs it's eye over the rookie posters and nominates the Rookie who contributed most to the match thread that round. At the end of the seasons all nominated torch winners...

The Gumbies are staging a coup. When Barrybran heard this news, he was as excited as a dodgy scout master at jamboree, or Antonio BlueVein in general. But no, no one is stupid enough to try and steer the hapless Gumbies, Barrybran is stuck with that gig. The Gumbies are taking over the Rising...

The alarming decline of last year’s minor premiers the Gumbies has led to the Qooty public demanding answers. It is too simple to point to the Gumbies power stance at the press conference prior to last years finals series or the infamous Collective Soul camp post season. Look the power stance...

With the great news that Kelly has triggered his 8 year extension we now have a bunch of players that will be forever pioneer legends. it looks like we have kept the ones we want again. This is great. Toby, Whitfield, Cogs, Haynes, Kelly are now committed to be players that by the time they...

As stated earlier, one of my life long dreams is to have a trophy named in my honour. The path of least resistance is to start my own competition and later name it after myself. Everyone loves a competition. So let's have one! How this works, I'm going to ask posters to rate their oppositions...

There is commentary all over the forum, but no explanation. I think we all want to know. Why the name change? What is the reasoning and what is it trying to achieve? If the PHawks decision makers can enlighten us with their logic, it is likely to lessen the criticism. If they can't well...

I'd reckon as we stand, Toby would still be in front in the BnF, but as we know the way we score it, it is weighted to those who play most, if not all games. Toby missing 4 and Sam Taylor set to miss about 8 probably makes it hard for 2 of the better performed players over the first 10 weeks...

In our short history there are a few recruits that are often lauded as being super important it the clubs development that get discussed all the time. Namely the 3 youngsters up front (Scully, Davis, Ward). Followed by Shaw, Mumford and Stevie J. All super important signings that shaped the...

The world can be broken up into two groups of people; those who neatly squeeze toothpaste from the bottom and those who will one day commit a violent crime and squeeze from the middle. After Supersuns narrowly escaped with his life after an encounter with a toothpaste squasher, I started...

If Freo hang in here, it'll almost knock Melbourne out of the race if we win tomorrow.
