Kennedy Parker seems rather liberal - I think it would sneak through.

IN: Suns Supreme (Roys), Senor M (Furies), Party Gull (Gumbies), King_Steele (returning).

OUT: Cuzz09 (delisted), bl4ke (delisted), Lemon Boi (delisted), guero (retired), Ok Boomer (retired).

ROOKIES
No rookies in Season 33 for the Bears.

GAINS
Three big signings really altered the dynamic of the Bears this season, with Suns Supreme (93.4 ppw), Senor M (45.8 ppw) and Party Gull (20.2 ppw) all making huge contributions through Season 33. Returning player King_Steele (11.7 ppw) was looking the good too until he disappeared after Round 7.

LOSSES
Nothing of note.

• Participants with 40+ ppw: 5 5, 5th (-)​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 16 13, 5th ()​

THE CORE
Three massive ins and no player losses was a great start for the Bears, and for the most part their existing player base maintained their output. It was interesting to note that a few of the old guard did fade, such as Cap (from 92.8 to 68.8 ppw), Electronic_Renaissance (from 61.2 to 21.9 ppw), MWPP (from 56.7 to 36.0 ppw), I Dont Care (from 53.4 to 15.1 ppw) and Broken (from 31.4 to 3.2 ppw) - whilst the next generation Bears Muddiemoose (from 30.9 to 27.2 ppw), tony (from 32.4 to 23.2 ppw), Millky95 (from 41.0 to 48.0 ppw) and returned hero JoshWoodenSpoon (from 27.9 to 44.1 ppw) were up and about. Perhaps a change of culture at Las Vegas has prompted a changing of the guard? One expects opposition LGs to be sliding into Bear PMs this off-season... For the last few seasons the Bears have been notorious for having a lot of dead weight down the bottom of their squad list, so it was pleasing to see they only had five players with less than nine posts this time - down from nine players last season.

So a season of improvement for the Bears, with many metrics improving or stabilising. But will they be able to withstand the off-season intact after the inevitable raid?

IN: damicky (Demons), SM (Phoenix), NinjaSwan (Phoenix), AnUltimateRessie (rookie), Cubs2Lions (rookie), un_eggs (rookie), Grand Uncle Horace (returning).​

OUT: haydo (Demons), Elmer_Judd (Roys), BlueMaster1 (delisted), mike123 (delisted), Sab22 (delisted), bomberlegend2007 (delisted), Kangaroos4eva (retired).​

ROOKIES
The Wonders swooped on three rookies for this season, with AnUltimateRessie (10.1 ppw) the pick of the bunch. Cubs2Lions (3.9 ppw) and un_eggs (1.1 ppw) were present without being prolific.

GAINS
Moz's rebuild of the Wonders continued this off-season with high profile signings NinjaSwan (46.1 ppw), damicky (105 ppw), SM (20.1 ppw) and a (finally) returning Grand Uncle Horace (30.9 ppw) making up a significant portion of the Wonders match day experience in Season 33.

LOSSES
The Wonders have been known in recent seasons to chop away dead wood mid-season in the hunt for more active players, and this time was no exception. Of those culled, only mike123 (16.3 ppw) had done anything of note last season. Beyond that they also faced the losses of Elmer_Judd (11.4 ppw in S32) and haydo (15.9 ppw in S32) to the Roys and Demons respectively.

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 8,412 9,338, 5th (11%)​

• Participants with 40+ ppw: 4 5, 5th ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 16 16, 2nd (-)​

THE CORE
With damicky joining the club to balance out the domineering Brenton Davy (from 149 to 96.5 ppw) the Wonders were a little less top-heavy in Season 33. There was a drop-off from some of the key names such as Moz (from 87.3 to 64.4 ppw), ClarkeM (from 59.9 to 32.9 ppw), croweater 41 (from 45.0 to 10.6 ppw), Soggy2112 (from 37.6 to 12.4 ppw), Loonerty (from 22.8 to 5.5 ppw) and LukeParkerno1 (from 12.0 to 5.8 ppw) - but it was countered by the new players and the likes of dogs105 (from 12.2 to 43.8 ppw), Frothies Mcveigh (from 5.7 to 17.2 ppw) and JT_the_Man (from 4.6 to 6.4 ppw) having somewhat of a revival.

The Wonders have some of the best squad depth in the league due to their aggressive recruiting and unforgiving culling of inactives. With Moz seemingly positioning for a leadership handover it will be interesting to see if the man in the shadows (you all know who he is) continues to pull the strings.

(Season 32 Numbers HERE)​

​

IN: Kennedy Parker (returning), ShaunDuggan (Royals), Kirkswan (returning), Grav (returning), Jewelsbon (rookie), okeydoke7 (returned).​

OUT: Sarahsmiles (Royals), compact72 (delisted), Sparkle (delisted), mike ross (delisted), powerrrrrrrrrrrr (delisted).​

ROOKIES
After a plethora of rookies last season the Rats appeared to look for experience instead this time around, and rookie bust Jewelsbon (0.1 ppw) was their only attempt in Season 33.

GAINS
The big fish for the Swamprats at the start of this season was the returning Kennedy Parker (44.4 ppw) who came in to share the captaincy with philreich. Along with him came esteemed Sweet veterans okeydoke7 (42.9 ppw), Grav (25.2 ppw) and ShaunDuggan (30.9 ppw) - with these four players all in the top seven most prolific Rats this season. Kirkswan (0.7 ppw) also had another dabble at Sweet, but lost interest by Round 3.

LOSSES
There was a bit of a clean out of the inactive Rats this off-season, and only the exit of SarahSmiles (41.7 ppw in S32) to the Royals would have hurt.

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 5,774 6,304, 10th (9%)​
• Sum of weekly median posts: 348 316, 9th (9%)​
• Match thread participants per week: 15.06 16.82, 6th (12%)​

• Participants with 40+ ppw: 6 3, 9th ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 9 11, 6th ()​

THE CORE
With part of the captaincy burden lifted off his shoulders, philreich (from 75.8 to 64.5 ppw) was able to tell ten less dad jokes per week. There was also a decrease in output from Catsnlakers (from 56.4 to 27.6 ppw), GremioPower (from 43.4 to 20.0 ppw), jackster83 (from 44.3 to 23.8 ppw) and ant555 (from 16.1 to 6.8 ppw), whilst club legend Near Kern (from 53.4 to 0.0 ppw) once again disappeared. However this was more than compensated by the recruits along with the re-energised Power Raid (from 7.6 to 28.5 ppw), Firestarter (from 6.5 to 19.5 ppw) and Ant Bear (from 0.7 to 10.5 ppw).

The Spamrats days of the Season 26 ilk are long gone, and the current Rats are more well known for high squad engagement without being too prolific. This continued in Season 33, but it was clear to see Kennedy Parker's deft hand in balancing the squad a little whilst continuing to stimulate activity well down the squad list. Still - a few more posts couldn't hurt. Will this be damicky's new home in Season 34?

GRADE: B-​

(Season 32 Numbers HERE)​

IN: haydo (Wonders), PaythePerryman (rookie).

OUT: Pickitt (Furies), pantskyle (Warriors), damicky (Wonders), Toump Ass (Furies), Callums_Guns (delisted).

ROOKIES
Not known for nurturing Sweet rookies, the Demons were seemingly gun shy after the trauma of recruiting Pick and ImissFrosty last season. Given that it was no surprise they were not planning on bringing in any rookies this season until PaythePerryman (1.5 ppw) fell into their lap.

GAINS
After being rated the top squad once again last season the Demons weren't too active last trade period. Their sole acquisition haydo (14.4 ppw) was great until he disappeared once the expansion vote came through.

LOSSES
The prolific Pick (130 ppw in S32) and damicky (115 ppw in S32) departed Mount Buller in the off-season, and they were joined by pantskyle (18.2 ppw in S32) and Toump Ass (1.8 ppw in S32) at the exit. That's a lot of match thread activity lost, particularly when combined with Callums_Guns (48.5 ppw) well publicised departure mid-season. The prospect of quieter match threads made Headless pleased.

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 10,882 7,825, 7th (28%)​
• Sum of weekly median posts: 701 352, 8th (50%)​
• Match thread participants per week: 19.88 17.12, 5th (14%)​
• Total match thread participants: 26 22, 8th ()​
• Match thread share: 55.76% 49.50%, 6th ()​
• Top 5 participant reliance: 58.69% 57.61%, 4th ()​
• Participants with >5% of MTP: 7 7, 6th (-)​
• Participants with 10+ ppw: 17 14, 2nd ()​
• Participants with 40+ ppw: 6 5, 5th ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 15 11, 6th ()​

THE CORE
With such a departure and no interest in seeking replacements it was going to be interesting to see how the existing Demons players acted in match threads, particularly in what turned out to be a disappointing season on the qooty field. One thing we can say with certainly is that Headless (from 11.2 to 102 ppw) reveled in his new-found freedom. His off-sider sante (from 17.4 to 45.0 ppw) also bobbed to the surface, as did perennial rookie sausageroll (from 35.6 to 43.9 ppw), cats2rise (from 3.1 to 14.2 ppw) and drunken IGA patron Proper Gander (from 12.2 to 43.3 ppw). Beyond that however, there was a some reduction in individual match thread activity at Mount Buller: skipper manangatang (from 37.3 to 31.2), league full back legend Tarkyn_24 (from 47.9 to 18.6 ppw),DemonJim (from 22.8 to 14.3 ppw), Azarole (from 18.7 to 5.6 ppw) and cooney (from 67.2 to 28.8 ppw) all dropped away.

Even so, the Demons still have a strong list, with many contributors: 16 players with over 100 match thread posts is behind only the Roys across the league. Their numbers last season were so good that even with the dramatic reduction in output they still perform well across most metrics. They may want to be a little more proactive this off-season though.
