IN: PhenomenalV1 (returning), andleanback (rookie), Zoops (rookie), Hate (Furies).

OUT: Loonerty (retired), The Jesus (Bombers), Snake_Baker (delisted), Drunken Wookie (delisted).

​

Up next we have Agent93 and Chipmunk's Hawks. Another team that has put together a solid list over the past few seasons, they generally have very good contributions across the board. This season they started off without the retired Loonerty (50.2 ppw in S30), departed The Jesus (8.9 ppw in S30) and Snake_Baker (1.6 ppw in S30) - whilst they replaced them with the returning PhenomenalV1, Hate (19.9 ppw in S30) and rookies Zoops and andleanback. ​

It was a generally quieter season for the Hawks in Season 31, with poor early season results on the qooty field seeming to suck the life out of them until a late season surge saw them sneak into the finals. Overall posting output dropped from 8,993 (5th) to 6,576 (9th), whilst still managing to retain a healthy number of posters each week with an average of 15.47 (6th), slightly down from 16.56 (4th) last season. These numbers are remarkably similar to Season 29 though, so it is not terrible news by any stretch.​

Pleasingly they're still getting an even spread of contributors, with 8 posters creating over 5% of their posts each week (only topped by the Demons and Warriors) - and their Top 5 doing a middling 63.87% of that - but only 9 players averaging over 10 posts a week (10th) is a cause for concern. They did go missing some weeks though, with only 48.33% of activity in their match threads, although the Roys dominating their Round 17 match thread may have been the primary cause of that.​

PMBangers (from 98.0 to 73.3 ppw) was their lead poster once more, but without the youthful exuberance of a rookie poster. There were also declines in output from Chipmunk (from 84.6 to 45.6 ppw), eth-dog (from 75.6 to 44.0 ppw), TY24 (from 40.9 to 15.0 ppw), por_please_ya (from 38.1 to 33.9 ppw) and Golumless (from 36.8 to 9.2 ppw) - but recruits PhenomenalV1 (22.9 ppw), Hate (24.0 ppw) and Zoops (1.5 ppw) filled the Loonerty sized hole in their list. So the Hawks managed to cover their losses over the off-season, but they were limited by their core posters losing some enthusiasm. TY24 and Golumless went missing for large chunks of the season, which was unfortunate - and only 11 posters in that last round in a crucial fixture for finals qualification certainly would have hurt.​

With Chipmunk more control of the club in Season 32, he'll be looking to reinvigorate his troops whilst bringing in some rookies to get the club flying high once more. ​

Grade: B- ​

A big question after Season 30 was what was going to happen to the Warriors. They had a shocker on all fronts, with poor on-qield performances and a greatly reduced level of match thread engagement compared to Season 29. Was S30 a return to normal after the aberration of S29 - or could TheInjuryFactory revitalise the Wazzas and get them back on the wagon?​

The very first thing TIF did was trade pantskyle (31.1 ppw in S30) to the Demons. Was this a wise move? Probably. After getting rid of some very dead wood (see the lower half of their S30 posting chart) and stealing Test Tickle (41.1 ppw in S30) from the Bears he got to work sliding into the PMs of several former players. toxic, Lord_Flashheart, Stronzo, Spanna_ and Volbeat all hark from the rookie classes of Seasons 18 and 19 and were seduced back to the Warriors in the off-season. The Half Back chose to join the Warriors in a shamefully obnoxious display at the end of last season, whilst plenty of people were pleased to see kdavva74 make a return to the league after a brief sabbatical. To top it off, the Warriors wrangled rookie DockerDen5215 from the Furies, and also secured a second rookie in Rad Roo.​

As a result of this movement the Warrior match thread activity skyrocketed this season - even surpassing what was achieved in Season 29. An average of 17.18 match thread posters a week was the second highest in the league, as was their total posting output of 9,808 posts. Importantly unlike last season they weren't overly reliant on their Top 5 posters for content (63.08%, compared to a whopping 84.56% last season). They topped the league for the number of posters averaging over 10 match thread posts a week (15) and were one of only three clubs to click over 600 match thread posts in a week six or more times this season.​

EKA Medal prospect DockerDen5215 was their most prolific poster with 108 ppw, and he was ably supported by their core from last season: Tonga Bob (from 90.5 to 90.8 ppw), NaturalDisaster (from 71.1 to 72.9 ppw), TheInjuryFactory (from 58.5 to 51.8 ppw) and zackah (from 15.4 to 15.8 ppw), along with the returning kdavva74 (from 22.5 to 40.4 ppw). Building on that were successful recruits Lord_Flashheart (29.2 ppw), The Half Back (26.8 ppw), Test Tickle (24.6 ppw), Volbeat (10.6 ppw) and toxic (7.2 ppw). This increased activity also saw improvements from a few established Warriors: RelaxMax (0.9 to 29.2 ppw), Dinsdale (10.4 to 21.6 ppw), Freofalcon (from 1.2 to 11.9 ppw) and TubbsFarquhar (3.0 to 11.2 ppw).​

The only concerns for the Warriors would be a small number of players losing interest as the season progressed. kdavva74's, Test Tickle's and Lord_Flashheart's activity dropped off after Round 11, whilst touted future leader harry000 was mostly absent this season. Raveneyes was not seen after Round 6, and a few of the recruits failed to fire, such as Rad Roo (0.3 ppw), Stronzo (0.5 ppw) and Spanna_ (1.1 ppw)...but you can't win them all. There is not much to be done to this list in the off-season beyond re-engaging with a few of the players who dropped away. ​

​

Last season The Filth Wizard's Royals were the darlings of the SFA, both on the qooty field and off it. This season they're chugging along very nicely near the top of the SFA ladder, but their posting has fallen off the figurative cliff. Last season they were top of the tree for average posters per week (19.00), but they have fallen down to ninth in that category (13.82) with more than five less posters per week. Their pure posting output has fallen from 7,562 (7th) to 3,230 (12th place by the length of the straight) and are only contributing 35.54% of their match threads this season. ​

So what went wrong? Out the door went Kennedy Parker (25.8 ppw in S30) and a couple of inactives with three posts between them. To replace them Filthy was able to secure a rookie (Gadzorks) and a returning player (Danger in Texas) and all was looking promising. But then nobody bothered to show up come Round 1. ​

Nearly every single poster had a reduction in output this season (except one). The Filth Wizard (from 58.4 to 49.4) tried his heart out, but it was the utmost of uphill battles. GreyCrow (from 36.9 to 23.1 ppw), CakeEater (from 40.7 to 20.4 ppw), Marlowe (from 37.6 to 18.4 ppw), spookism (from to 24.6 to 15.1 ppw) and MrPremiership (from 20.8 to 13.1 ppw) were there each week, but the enthusiasm from Season 30 just wasn't there now that the premiership drought had been broken. Blacky (from 32.0 to 3.5 ppw), grumbleguts (an increase from 4.2 to 13.1 ppw), Kapow!!! (from 26.9 to 0.0 ppw), brahj (from 22.1 to 2.1 ppw), Ulahoopski (from 19.3 to 8.2 ppw), Smartys Power (from 18.7 to 6.9 ppw), nahnah (from 29.8 to 5.8 ppw) and Paddles_ (from 12.9 to 0.0 ppw) all went missing for long periods of time or had limited buy-in to the campaign. If I was drawing arrows for activity I would have run out of red ink.​

The Royals only posted more than 300 posts in a match thread two times all season, whereas they managed it 13 times in Season 30. And they now sit dead last for posters with >10 posts per week (7) and >20 posts pre week (3) in the league. If it's a consolation for Filthy though, there's still a very good core of posters in the squad, and there are worse teams in the league for the number of posters rocking up each week. The problem is that the squad is built on players who have done the journey many times before, and without the novelty of a maiden premiership there was just limited motivation to get involved. There are very few posters in the Royals from the last four rookie classes, and those that are have never really gotten invested.​

So what to do? Squad refresh? Or can a handful of new recruits and rookies be enough to reinvigorate the passion of the Royal veterans? Either way something needs to be done.​

IN: Grimesy87 (rookie), EagleOz (returning), wherearemykeys (rookie).

OUT: cats2rise (Roys), The Victorian (delisted), 2121 (delisted), MatthewB (delisted), Vdubs (delisted).

​

The Gumbies cop a lot of grief in the Sweet FA for their match thread activity, but for the last three seasons they have been remarkably consistent. Their average number of match thread posters has ranged from 13.65 (S29) to 13.81 (S30), and they slotted right in between those with 13.76 this season. And yet they have been lauded as having a much improved list finally in Season 31. Their posting numbers are up slightly (from 6,270 to 7,365), but why the recognition finally now? One thinks they've been a good unit for a while now and nobody has cared to notice.​

Barrybran lost his mate cats2rise (29.8 ppw) in the off-season, but some good recruiting nabbed him a couple of rookies in wherearemykeys and Grimesy87 and the returning EagleOz. This enabled Baz to clear out some of the dead wood and start the season on a positive note. If memory serves me correct Ned Ryerson was also due to be culled, but he reappeared in the nick of time - more on him in a moment.​

The Gumbies are the most reliant team in the league on their Top 5 posters for output (73.55%), and they really are the heart and soul of the squad. Barrybran (from 68.5 to 77.7 ppw), omgfridge (from 32.3 to 73.6 ppw), Riviat (from 60.4 to 60.8 ppw), GWS Goose (from 54.4 to 54.4 ppw...nice) and Genghis Tron (from 52.2 to 36.2 ppw) are the ones that carry the conversation each week, but they got quite the pleasant surprise when Ned Ryerson reappeared (from 0.0 to 52.2 ppw) to share the load. He was universally applauded for his contributions...but then he disappeared in Round 8 and wasn't seen again. Very unfortunate. Beyond them they saw some good improvements from some of their less well known posters, with Brick Loosener (from 9.6 to 16.6 ppw) and rookies Grimesy87 (4.1 ppw) and wherearemykeys (3.8 ppw) all chipping in. ​

But there is still a fair number of players on their list with only sporadic posts throughout the season: veterans beez (from 25.0 to 11.0 ppw), Rodney Dangerfield (form 25.1 to 18.6 ppw) and StFly (from 15.2 to 11.6 ppw) were quieter, and Taylor (from 7.1 to 0.0 ppw) has seemingly checked out of the SFA. EagleOz (3.2 ppw) was looking promising until he left mid-season. Depth remains the Gumbies concern, even though they have a very strong top order. They have the lower number of posters with >2% of the team's contribution (10), the lowest with >5% of the team's contribution (8)...and yet the highest with >10% of the contribution (5). They also have the lowest number of players with >5 posts per week (10).​

Ultimately their current output is fine (48.64% of posts in their match threads, and ranked 6th for total posts), but they need some support for their core. Luring in a handful of veterans looking for a new adventure plus hitting the lottery with a good rookie or two is what Barrybran will be looking for in the off season. Doing so should be easier than it has been in the past due to their newfound reputation.​

IN: Mrs haydo (rookie), Grrr (rookie), GREENESHOOTS (rookie), crazywildhorse (rookie).

OUT: biaseddustyfan (delisted), fightingfury_88 (delisted), The Half Back (Warriors), Hate (Hawks), Grrr (delisted).

​

The Furies have always been a bit of an enigma team posting-wise, in that if they're interesting in their opponent they'll go all-out, but if they find them a bit dull or uninspiring they'll find something else to do for the week. Season 30 was a classic example of this with their erratic output, but strangely enough they were somewhat consistent in Season 31, with most of the big names turning up every week.​

​

Tigerturbulance had to deal with the loss of The Half Back (38.3 ppw in Season 30) and Hate (19.9 ppw in Season 30), and with no established recruits available he went down the rookie path: nabbing Mrs haydo, Grrr (briefly), GREENESHOOTS, crazywildhorse (from Round 9) and for the briefest of moments before the season started... DockerDen5215. A couple of no-shows from Season 30 were punted out the door, and with an invigorated list things were looking promising at the Hippodrome.​

​

But then DockerDen5215 fled before list lodgment, Grrr (0.0 ppw) did not fire a shot, and Mrs haydo (2.1 ppw) decided that she'd had enough by Round 5. That left two rookies to pick up the slack, and they most certainly did that: with crazywildhorse (22.0 ppw) getting into the swing of things by the end of the season, and EKA fancy GREENESHOOTS (56.9 ppw) proving a great success both in match threads and in the world of media.​

​

Of their core posters, most maintained or exceeded their output from last season. Mister M (from 78.1 to 70.2 ppw), Ned_Flanders (from 24.4 to 58.4 ppw), TJASTA (from 54.8 to 57.7 ppw), Elton Johns Wig (from 24.9 to 46.4 ppw), Tigerturbulance (from 38.2 to 35.9 ppw), Rioli8217 (from 21.8 to 30.6 ppw) and Sterge (from 9.0 to 12.6 ppw) were ever present and flew the magenta flag all season. ​

​

There were a few worries though, as Lady Godava (from 40.5 to 8.4 ppw), JackBero (from 39.8 to 1.4 ppw) and most concerningly future captain Bastyy (from 80.2 to 18.6 ppw) were much quieter this season. The Furies operate with a full squad of 27, so the tail end can look particularly bad - but even so there were 14 players with less than 50 posts for the season, which is the second worst in the league behind the Bears. The fear of Banhammer visits limiting team selection seems to drive carrying this extra baggage.​

​

So a slight drop off in activity for the season from 7,733 (6th) to 7,274 posts (7th) which was in line with the overall league decrease. More concerningly there was a reduction in the average posters per week (from 14.56 to 13.24), which now sees them the second worst team in the league for posters per week. In fact, after Round 5 the most Furies in a match thread was 14, with a very low 9 making an appearance in the last round. Poor qooty performances all season likely drove this, as it can be hard to motivate when coming dead last (props to TJASTA for making the most of it though).​

​

Even so, the Furies have a dozen consistent performers on their list - it just drops off very suddenly after that. They are the worst club for number of posters with >2% of the team's contribution (10), but are ranked 5th in the league for players with >5% of the team's contribution (7). They still have the ability to go large though: and they were one of only five teams able to post more than 900 times in a match thread this season. ​

​

So quite the mixed bag for the Furies. They have a very strong core, but just couldn't motivate the plebs once their qooty season turned to shit. More rookies are probably in order for Season 32, but it seems they are planning a changing of the guard in the off-season, so the pressure will be on Bastyy to get that fire back in their stomachs.​
