Must be time for a change of scenery...

Nah. We're making a tweak though.

Nah. We're making a tweak though.

MWPP will be a fantastic addition.

(Season 32 Numbers HERE)​

​

IN: JustaBattler (rookie), Bamboo Harvester (returning), La Dispute (returning), Noidenous (returning), Bearded Carpenter (rookie), Osc1 (returning), HereComesJuddy (returning), Citroin (returning), Dadda Dave (returning).​

OUT: VeinGlorious (retired), mochacinolatte (delisted), Dadda Dave (delisted), Osc1 (delisted), Andronicus (delisted), Tony Lynn 15 (delisted), Metalcrusher (delisted), HereComesJuddy (delisted).​

ROOKIES
Two rookies joined the Bombers this season: JustaBattler (6.6 ppw), who popped into match threads on most weeks - and Bearded Carpenter (0.0 ppw), who is still yet to post on the Sweet forum.

GAINS
The Bombers did not look towards other Sweet clubs last off-season, instead preferring to entice some of their own former players back to the club - a tactic they redeployed during the player suspension crisis over the last few rounds. Most seemed to prefer to stay within the confines of the Bomber PM however, with the likes of Bamboo Harvester (0.0 ppw), Dadda Dave (0.0 ppw), Osc1 (1.4 ppw), La Dispute (0.5 ppw), HereComesJuddy (0.0 ppw) and Citroin (1.0 ppw) barely sighted. They did nail one recruitment though, with Noidenous (86.1 ppw) becoming a huge presence across match threads and the league in general.

LOSSES
Losing league-favourite and former captain VeinGlorious (30.9 ppw in S32) to retirement would have hurt, but otherwise the Bombers LG were able to do a bit of a clean out during the off-season. The in-season site bans to Metalcrusher (56.1 ppw) and Tony Lynn 15 (42.6 ppw) were losses that felt irreplaceable though.

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 17,058 14,410, 1st (16%)​
• Sum of weekly median posts: 959 748, 1st (22%)​
• Match thread participants per week: 18.88 17.12, 4th (9%)​
• Total match thread participants: 26 24, 2nd ()​
• Match thread share: 59.66% 59.97%, 2nd ()​
• Top 5 participant reliance: 62.02% 58.16%, 6th ()​
• Participants with >5% of MTP: 7 10, 1st ()​
• Participants with 10+ ppw: 14 14, 2nd (-)​
• Participants with 40+ ppw: 10 11, 1st ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 16 16, 2nd (-)​

THE CORE
Skipper BLUEALLTHRU (from 186 to 150 ppw) remains the lynchpin of Bomber match threads, but he was the only Bomber to average more than 100 match thread posts per week this season. RobR (from 145 to 88.5 ppw), Kilroy (from 97.7 to 73.1 ppw), Jabba73 (from 71.6 to 51.9 ppw), CursingFijian (from 49.3 to 45.9 ppw) and kickthething (from 19.0 to 14.8 ppw) all reduced their activity to varying degrees this season, and it was up to The Greatest Ava (from 43.2 to 59.9 ppw), Bovo (from 39.5 to 44.6 ppw) and Here2tellyouwhy (from 6.3 to 10.2 ppw) to fill the gap.

You can fault the Bombers about many things, but they have had and continue to have a prolific and deep list. The combination of a league activity downturn with the plethora of late-season suspensions certainly handbraked their activity a little this time, but they are by far and away the most active list in the league. There are cracks forming though that will need addressing: the aforementioned bans to Metalcrusher and Tony Lynn 15 combined with the loss of The Jesus (8.4 ppw) and TheCoach16 (16.2 ppw) to the Old Boys sees a heap of experience go out the door, and they will be wanting a much better strike rate with their recruits next season. There are a lot of zeros at the lower portion of their posting chart, much more than there have been previously - and 251 match thread posts from only ten Bombers in Round 16 would be their lowest weekly output in many seasons.

GRADE: A-​

I feel there is no consistency whatsoever with these final grades on even just on a numbers basis but we can be sure posting quality is not factored in. So I am puzzled and keen to know the formula and if it’s more of an eye test thing, whether a pair of spectacles are needed?

 

[Agent93]

Say what you want about all these qootball clubs, what a great season for the Japanese yen!

A great return from Seasons in the Abyss.

It’s a secret mate. Many have tried to crack WaynesWorld19‘s code but it’s like a magician and his tricks.

No can do.

You are reading too much into it. Here’s someone who makes an effort with a combination of stats and probably gut feel. Unless you are prepared to put as much effort in, just enjoy the read for what it is!

Just like your qooty nahnah. It's very fitting.

It was a point weighting system, approved by the SFA's Secret Mathematician's Guild ......it has stood up to rigorous scrutination by forensic accountants at the guild

Well see this is the thing, incredible effort has gone in yet the final grades appear to be mere guesswork and would arguably be the easiest part of the entire thread. Maybe it is not guesswork and this can all be resolved with a simple explanation? My guess is as good as yours dear Bovo.

Just like your qooty nahnah. It's very fitting.

I had a pretty consistent season tbh

This guy gets it. Wayne sent me the code and even I don't understand it.

Mate, that’s not even a word.

Oh. Well congratulations then. Well done you.

 

[Agent93]

Mate, that’s not even a word.

What's the symbology there?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Mate, that’s not even a word.

It is so .....under my "Free-form, Expressionistic Elliptical" posting style (C) .......grammar & spelling is deemed optional

 

[nahnah]

Oh. Well congratulations then. Well done you.

thank you

You're missing the yen symbol.

Agreed

 

[Agent93]

thank you

You're welcome. It is unfortunate though, that your consistency was undermined by the poor leadership at your club. You have my commiserations.

 

[James Colorado]

A great return from Seasons in the Abyss.

More random Slayer references is exactly what enhances life.

Josh, I need to know more about the cat that woke the beaver.

 

[GWS Goose]

East Side Escargot's and you can be based on French snails with a logo of a snail wearing a beret. Just an idea.

Generally after the English "colonise" a place, which is of course code for invading, they revert back to the original name after a period of time. So I imagine after Chipmunk has taught the Hawks all about Christianity and democracy; stolen all their tea and artifacts, he will leave and allow them to revert back to the Hawks.
