Congrats TY24.

Who was it that called you the worst poster in the sfa again?

Whoever it was hasn't met Cold Sober.

Mr Eagle Trophy​

The best clubman award is named after former captain and near 300-gamer Mr Eagle, and is presented by the current captain. In the past it has been won by a variety of folks who have contributed in their own big or small ways, from current Royals leader The Filth Wizard, via the tidy contributor that is Milera2Betts, to more recently the dearly departed NaturalDisaster who we traded for a league legend.

This season I take time out to acknowledge someone who probably has deserved a lot more kudos for his involvement with the club and the league this season. If we look back to season 28 you probably saw a disinterested veteran, who you might have assumed was gradually losing interest and on his way out of the league. In the off-season he made several statements that he was going to post more, and I took that with a grain of salt. I'd seen the promises of a pre-season fade away quickly a few times before.

Not this time. Despite a low output in round one (due to a scheduled bout of real world AFKness), Golumless fulfilled his promise of raising his involvement. He grabbed the less glamourous qooty role of centre half forward and played it with aplomb. Not only that the sim seemed to want to reward him with one of the better CHF seasons I've seen in my time in the league. Unfortunately the All SFA selection committee rates 40 odd goals from the 4th best full forward as a fantastic achievement and wouldn't give Golly a look in several discussions.

The other thing for me has been his well timed dissent, and biting wit. Loonerty completed the tally for the larrikin award so I'm not certain of this, but I'm pretty sure I gave Golly a large sum of votes in our club's award for the best poster.

So it is without further ado I recognise the unrecognised this season, and present Golumless with the season 29 Mr Eagle Trophy as this season's best clubperson.

Congratulations!

Is this the Hawks consolation prize?

 

[Agent93]

Is this the Hawks consolation prize?

No that comes later. This one is to acknowledge contributions to the club over the season that otherwise may go un-noticed, or un-thanked. It's an expression of gratitude to my clubpersons.

The larrikin award

Here it is, the froth on the cold one. It's interesting to look back at how this came to be, because for the first four rounds of season 29 our winner posted a grand total of 3 times in match threads (all in round 4). I remember thinking at the time we might have had another rookie washout on our hands, and a fellow club captain has admitted to circling like a vulture to see if he might kickstart the career elsewhere.

Then round 5 came. I don't know what happened but the first match against the Bombers in rivalry round got the juices flowing and they didn't stop. From round 5 to the end of the season TY24 averaged a flat 50 posts in match threads, and provided some of the better fun, wit, and trolling the team has seen this season. You voted him:

1st place for season 29, and winner of the larrikin award:

East Side Hawks 12.4 (76) lost to Dragons FFC 22.8 (140)

Recap by Chipmunk:

As so here we were again. The Hawks were perennial third week finals losers, and would this happen again? At least there was hope and some form, with 3 wins in a row and beating the day’s opponents, the Dragons, just the week before. The form came from great attacking play, rather than any defensive fortitude.

Agent93 shuffled the pack as part of Red mist's 150th SFA game celebrations. There were 6 changes, including moving Loonerty into the guts.

There was a lot of excitement before the game. Could S29 be the season where it all came together and the great Hawks could get some momentum into a season which would go into history as the best of all time?

No.

The Dragons went 30 points up in the first quarter. There was a fightback to within 3 goals at the main break, however the Eyrie crowd were shocked to see 11 goals go past them in the third quarter and the lead at 59 points. The game was lost and the final result inconsequential (it was a 64 point loss).

Drunkgoliath was simply outstanding for the Hawks with 13 tackles, and go you pups had 32 disposals. TY24 confirmed his status as a breakout star with 5 goals and will be the Hawk’s future FF for seasons to come.

Agent93 seemed to have an uncharacteristically poor game. What went wrong? To find the answer, we must look at the end of match thread.

• In what became a bit of a clinic, AceAndy gave Agent93 a bath. - 97m from 1 to 98.

We have asked the SFA what happened usually at this clinic and if this was an SFA-approved bath. Or whether there was something more malicious going on. We were told to **** off. We will never know. What we will know is that we will go again in S30 for that elusive quest for our 2nd flag.

Great job to the entire squad for a fantastic season. Everyone has been amazing.

The Biggie-est cup

And now for the climax of the evening, the presentation of the Biggie-est cup.

Round by round you’ve seen the leaders for each game and we’ve had leaderboard updates and dance breaks after rounds which are multiples of five. Well, there's no more multiples left, because we didn't reach the god damned grand final again.

So let's reveal our top 5 best players in the season 29 match simulations!

In 5th place
The club vice-captain and season 28 winner:


Loonerty



In a wonky season Loonerty didn't have the top rating in any round, but placed top five in rounds 4, 5, 8, 9, 13, and 16.​
