Firstly to all those eagles supporters who know my "history" in fantasy games i am not starting this thread as someone who would play for this side, but as the Sweet FA Admin.
Ok. Some of you may/may not know that Bigfooty has a fantasy footy league UNLIKE ANY OTHER called the Sweet FA. It is unlike any other in that
a) the ACTUAL footy has no bearing on this game and
b) YOU get to be the players.
How does it work then you ask?
Well you may know Mobbenfuhrer, a poster on this site who supports the now defunct AFL side Fitzroy(but still going strong in other leagues he would say
. He designed a program on QBasic which plays games of footy. All it needs is teams to be put together and the names put into the game, then it runs a game based on random numbers. It is so clever it even makes up the commentary as you go so its like a real footy match
IE
Match commencing shortly ... DRAGONS v PAGAN
1 : 25 - FROSTY_1 GETS THE BALL DOWN.

1 : .27 - TOP MARK HOTHAM.
1 : .36 - HOTHAM WITH A LITTLE SPACE.
1 : .58 - HOTHAM LOOKING FOR A LEAD.
1 : .68 - IF THAT'S A GOAL I'LL NEVER BREAK WIND AGAIN.
1 : .78 - WHAT A HAPPY FELLOW IS HOTHAM.
DRAGONS : 0.0.0
PAGAN : 1.0.6
1 : .78 - FROSTY_1 GETS ONE HAND TO IT.
1 : 1.01 - SPIDERGIRL HAS POSSESSION.
1 : 1.11 - QUICK HANDS TO PAULKANGA2000 UNDER PRESSURE.
1 : 1.21 - LONG HANDPASS TO THE RUNNING DARKY.
1 : 1.37 - QUICK HANDS TO ROOBOY UNDER PRESSURE.
1 : 1.58 - HE HAS ANOTHER ONE.
1 : 1.69 - HE GETS A HANDPASS TO BLUEWORMS.
1 : 2.13 - DON'T TELL ME HE'S KICKED IT.
1 : 2.22 - AND HE DOESN'T DISAPPOINT US.
DRAGONS : 0.0.0
PAGAN : 2.0.12
1 : 2.22 - FROSTY_1 GETS THE BALL DOWN.
1 : 2.51 - SPIDERGIRL WITH A LITTLE SPACE.
1 : 2.61 - A FLAT PUNT.
1 : 2.82 - UP GOES HOTHAM.
1 : 3.06 - HOTHAM IS NOW OFF AND RUNNING.
1 : 3.17 - LONG HANDPASS TO THE RUNNING GONZO.
1 : 3.35 - GONZO IGNORES A LEAD TO HAVE A SHOT.
1 : 3.45 - GONZO GETS THE SIX POINTS.
And it continues like that for a whole game.
ANYWAY i was thinking, wouldnt it be great to have an Eagles side in for next season. The Kangaroos already have a side, and now the Fitzroy board is getting a team together. I am well aware many of you eagles already have a side, and i do not mean that u have to leave that side, i myself have a side that i'll be sticking with(shock horror
) BUT i just checked the footy votes thread alone and saw MANY more names than is required for a side, who arent in a team. All you'd need is 25 players, where 20 play each game and 5 sup list players(and these get changed each week by the captain.) From here you obviously need to know a little more about it, and need a captain. SO what i need is someone who has SOME idea(perhaps a current player who might be interested in swapping) to take over getting this team together. Ill do it for now, but am sure someone else can. All you need to do to play is put your name down below in the position you think you'd like to play. After that you dont have to be any more involved, but IF YOU WANT you can follow your side on the fantasy footy board. Sometime in the near future i plan of having a facts sheet up on the NEW website so will keep you informed.
Also if current Sweet FA players can please comment on how awesome you think the sweet FA is, so everyone can see what they are missing out on
ok, heres the team

Over and out. The person who takes charge ISNT auto captain, once the team is made a captain will be decided upon BUT of course they have a good chance of being chosen
Hope to see a team up and ready for next season
If you have any queries, post em and ill answer them
Cheers
