The Best Sweet FA team of all time (Updated to S32)

Remove this Banner Ad

The vault has been opened once again, well it is a Broken vault after all- geddit :rolleyes:, and this time it comes with a new project.

For those unfamiliar with the SweetRankings, those rankings were a process of trying to determine the best player in the competition using the results generated by the sim, and a couple of other measureable values, to try and eliminate the personal bias in the many league based ranking/voting systems.

This new project is something similar. At the time I thought of creating a team based rankings system, but put it aside. However outside interests had me revisiting the idea and I plugged in the smallish sample size of 256 SweetFA teams across the history of the league to test it. Rather than keep the results in my vault, I thought I'd share those rankings with the league. And what better time than at the conclusion of 25 seasons.

These have been worked out using factors accessible in the Sweet FA results hub : ladder position, points for / against, finals output, ... They were calculated relative to their season, then ranked against other teams. This has led to some interesting results in comparison to the actual ladder position and end of season results.

I will be adding the rankings to this thread throughout the course of the season, as I prepare posts, graphics and whatever else I need to present the results.

This thread will only contain the rankings. All discussion of these rankings will be in a seperate discussion thread (FOUND HERE) and any posts in this thread other than the rankings will be moved to the discussion thread thanks to Cloud_

BIGFOOTY BOMBERS (Season 5)
3 wins 19 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
1862 points for. 2456 points against. 75.81%

The politically correct would say the BigFooty Bombers side of Season 5 is the 256th best team to have played in a SweetFA season. Old schoolers will say this team is the worst team to have EVER graced the fields of Sweet.
This Bombers team had the lowest ever winning percentage in a SweetFA season, courtesy of 3 wins in a grueling 22 game season.
Yet, despite that long season, they were the only team in Season 5 to have scored less than 2000 total points in that home and away season, while also giving up the most points in the league. This resulted in an average 27 point loss per game.
They were 6 games behind the 2nd last placed team and deserving of the wooden spoon that season and, now, the worst team ever tag.

ROYS FFC (Season 16)
4 wins 14 losses. Finished 10th of 10 teams
1523 points for. 2002 points against. 76.07%

Worst team representing the Roys FFC.

THE MOD SQUAD (Season 9)
5 wins 1 draw 12 losses. Finished 10th of 10 teams
1564 points for. 1948 points against. 80.29%

The Mod Squad only lasted two seasons, this was their first season.
Gave up a lot of points this season.

LAS VEGAS BEARS (Season 18)
4 wins 13 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
1509 points for. 1731 points against. 87.18%

First season back from hiatus.
Worst team to represent the Bears.

EAST SIDE HAWKS (Season 22)
6 wins 1 draw 10 losses. Finished 11th of 12 teams
1609 points for. 1909 points against. 84.28%

First non wooden spoon winning team to appear and the first team from Season 22.
High amount of points conceded and average margin of result hurt this teams ranking.
Worst team representing the Hawks

SIN CITY SWAMPRATS (Season 24)
4 wins 12 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
1574 points for. 1676 points against. 88.60%

Worst team representing the Swamprats

WEST COAST MAGIC (Season 4)
7 wins 17 losses. Finished 13th of 13 teams
1983 points for. 2333 points against. 85.00%

2nd, and last, season in the competition. (Not affiliated with the Wonders)
Lacked scoring power compared to other Season 4 teams
 
#245

ALBERTON SWAMPRATS (Season 17)
5 wins 13 losses. Finished 10th of 10 teams
1744 points for. 1995 points against. 87.42%

Not a bad scoring season for this Swamprats team, but they were let down by poor defending and an average match result of roughly a 14 point loss per game.

#244

SEVENTH WONDERS (Season 3)
7 wins 11 losses. Finished 9th of 10 teams
1554 points for. 1848 points against. 84.09%

The lowest ranked team from Season 3, but not the team that finished last that season.
That was solely due to penalties given to the last placed Furies which put the Furies in 10th.
This team had the lowest FOR, highest AGAINST and worst percentage of all Season 3 teams.

Like the Wonders in spot #244 this Roys team are the lowest ranked team in their season (21), but weren't the last placed team that season.
They conceded the most points in Season 21 and had the worst percentage, with an average match margin working heavily against them.

DRAGONS (Season 7)
7 wins 15 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
1779 points for. 2017 points against. 88.20%

Last season as the Dragons before merging with the Southern Sharks the following season.
Worst team representing the Dragons.

#241

EAST SIDE HAWKS (Season 20)
5 wins 11 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
1493 points for. 1675 points against. 89.13%

Two seasons later the Hawks had an even worse ranked season

__________________________________________________________________________________

Of the bottom 16 teams, there are no two teams from the same season.
While only 11 of the 27 clubs to have ever played have appeared.
 
#240

DINGOES (Season 1)
3 wins 9 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
1277 points for. 1536 points against. 83.14%

The Dingoes only season in the SweetFA and they were the worst team in that season.
Their scoring output was reasonable, but the amount of points they allowed was abysmal, where their average result was a 3+ goal loss.


__________________________________________________________________________________

#239

GEELONG GUMBIES (Season 4)
9 wins 15 losses. Finished 11th of 13 teams
2133 points for. 2427 points against. 87.89%

The 2nd team to appear from Season 4 so far. The Gumbies scoring and defending stacked up poorly in this ranking, leading them to be the 2nd worst team from Season 4, despite being 3rd last on the ladder that season.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#238

FIGHTING FURIES (Season 22)
6 wins 1 draw 10 losses. Finished 9th of 12 teams
1633 points for. 1849 points against. 88.32%

The 2nd team from Season 22 and this team, like the Hawks at #248, also did not finish last on the ladder.
They were one of the worst scoring teams and defending teams in their season.


__________________________________________________________________________________

#237

PAGANS DUCKS (Season 2)
4 wins 10 losses. Finished 8th of 8 teams
1427 points for. 1582 points against. 90.20%

The last placed team from Season 2 is also the worst ranked team from that season.
This was the last of two seasons for Pagans Ducks as they became the Junkyard Dogs the following season.


__________________________________________________________________________________

#236

GOLD CITY ROYALS (Season 16)
6 wins 12 losses. Finished 9th of 10 teams
1657 points for. 1868 points against. 88.70%

The 2nd team from Season 16 was also the 2nd last placed team that season.
This was the Royals first, and worst, ever season in the SweetFA.

FIGHTING FURIES (Season 12)
4 wins 1 draw 9 losses. Finished 8th of 8 teams
1153 points for. 1306 points against. 88.28%

First entry from Season 12 where this Furies side was the weakest scoring side that season and not much better defensively.

#234

BIGFOOTY BOMBERS (Season 8)
7 wins 1 draw 13 losses. Finished 7th of 8 teams
1958 points for. 2216 points against. 88.36%

The 2nd worst team from Season 8 where they were the 2nd worst in scoring and in defending
Being 3 1/2 games behind the 6th placed team they were clearly the 2nd worst team of Season 8.

#233

AFL ALLSTARS (Season 7)
8 wins 14 losses. Finished 11th of 12 teams
1789 points for. 2031 points against. 88.08%

Ablett! Dunstall! Lockett! Carey! Silvagni! Simulated duds, the lot of them.
11th place in Season 7 and not much to write home about.


__________________________________________________________________________________

#232

BAGHDAD BOMBERS (Season 22)
6 wins 11 losses. Finished 10th of 12 teams
1574 points for. 1787 points against. 88.08%

The 3rd team from Season 22, yet the last placed team is yet to appear.
This Bombers team had trouble scoring, maybe due to religious beliefs, as no other team scored less points in Season 22.


__________________________________________________________________________________

#231

BAGHDAD BANDITS (Season 21)
6 wins 10 losses. Finished 10th of 12 teams
1504 points for. 1685 points against. 89.26%

The past 5 places have contained all 3 iterations of the Bombers club.
This side, while marginally better across the board than the following seasons Baghdad team, was still a mediocre outfit who couldn't get much going.

__________________________________________________________________________________


Coming at #230, our first entry from Season 25


 
#230

MOUNT BULLER DEMONS (Season 25)
6 wins 10 losses. Finished 10th of 12 teams
1558 points for. 1765 points against. 88.27%

The Demons scored the fewest points of all the teams in Season 25. And they also gave up the most points that season.
A couple of narrow wins inflated their win percentage, but they ranked as the worst team in the most recent Sweet FA season, and the worst ever team to grace the field for the Demons/Team Pump.


__________________________________________________________________________________

#229

GEELONG GUMBIES (Season 10)
8 wins 13 losses. Finished 7th of 8 teams
1866 points for. 2079 points against. 89.75%

The worst scoring team of Season 10 and one of the worst defensively in a penalty riddled season.

__________________________________________________________________________________


#228

GEELONG WOLVES (Season 22)
5 wins 12 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
1740 points for. 1915 points against. 90.86%

The last placed team in Season 22 finally appears above 3 other Season 22 teams who appeared lower.
So why did this team ranked higher than the other 3? Despite being the worst team defensively that season, the Wolves scored more points than 5 other teams. They were 1 1/2 games behind the 11th placed team, but with a few narrow losses, they could call themselves unlucky to have come last.
 
#227

MOUNT BULLER DEMONS (Season 10)
6 wins 15 losses. Finished 8th of 8 teams
1991 points for. 2203 points against. 90.38%

Only two spots above the 2nd last placed team of Season 10 largely because of their scoring output which was above the league average that season.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#226

ROYS FFC (Season 20)
6 wins 10 losses. Finished 10th of 12 teams
1473 points for. 1646 points against. 89.49%

This Roys team couldn't score even if they had a year long pass to *insert your favourite brothel here*

__________________________________________________________________________________

#225

EAST SIDE HAWKS (Season 14)
6 wins 11 losses. Finished 8th of 8 teams
1313 points for. 1509 points against. 88.08%

The first appearance of a Season 14 team and this Hawks team was one of the worst scoring teams in league history.
Their backlines effort was middle of the pack as far as league history goes which sees them rank higher than better scoring teams.


__________________________________________________________________________________

#224

MOUNT BULLER DEMONS (Season 23)
7 wins 10 losses. Finished 11th of 12 teams
1621 points for. 1834 points against. 88.39%

The first team from Season 23.
An average scoring side couldn't do too much with an awful backline leaking points, leading to an average result of a loss of more than 2 goals a game.


__________________________________________________________________________________

#223

MOUNT BULLER DEMONS (Season 6)
8 wins 14 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
2249 points for. 2489 points against. 90.36%

The 4th Demons team among the previous 8 placings and the first club from Season 6.
This side gave up the 2nd most amount of points in league history, albeit it in a 22 game season, which offset a reasonable scoring output.


 
#222

JUNKYARD DOGS (Season 4)
7 wins 1 draw 16 losses. Finished 12th of 13 teams
2269 points for. 2494 points against. 90.38%

Only one team gave up more points in a SweetFA season than the #223 ranked Demons. This was that team. However, they had the disadvantage of a 24 game season as opposed to a 22 game season, which gives them a slight advantage in the rankings despite having a similar type season.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#221

WEST COAST WONDERS (Season 11)
9 wins 12 losses. Finished 6th of 8 teams
1895 points for. 2121 points against. 89.34%

The first team from Season 11. The 2nd worst scoring team that season and only one of two teams from Season 11 to give up more than 2000 points.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#220

BAGHDAD BANDITS (Season 19)
4 wins 11 losses. Finished 11th of 12 teams
1519 points for. 1780 points against. 85.34%

This Bandits team scored reasonably well, but they gave up the most points in Season 19 and had the equal worst record that season.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#219

WEST COAST WONDERS (Season 18)
5 wins 12 losses. Finished 11th of 12 teams
1658 points for. 1821 points against. 91.05%

Similar story here for the Wonders. Good at scoring, bad at defending.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#218

SOUTHERN DRAGONS (Season 9)
6 wins 12 losses. Finished 9th of 10 teams
1561 points for. 1699 points against. 91.88%

This Dragons side, while not terrible, wasn't very good on either end of the field either.

 
#217

FREMANTLE DOCKERS (Season 4)
10 wins 14 losses. Finished 10th of 13 teams
2130 points for. 2366 points against. 90.03%

This team graced the field in 2004 and, like their AFL counterparts that year, they finished 1 game outside the Top 8 and were among the leagues worst scoring teams.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#216

BAGHDAD BOMBERS (Season 12)
6 wins 8 losses. Finished 6th of 8 teams
1154 points for. 1302 points against. 88.63%

This team scored the 2nd fewest points in Sweet FA history via a rapid 14 game season (only 1 point more than their wooden spoon counterparts at #235) .

__________________________________________________________________________________

#215

GOLD CITY ROYALS (Season 23)
5 wins 12 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
1555 points for. 1664 points against. 93.45%

The Season 23 wooden spoon 'winner'. Their backline kept them in games, but they couldn't score enough, which hurt them, as they lost 3 games by a goal or less.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#214

GEELONG WOLVES (Season 19)
6 wins 9 losses. Finished 10th of 12 teams
1383 points for. 1534 points against. 90.16%

In the best half of teams for points allowed in Season 19, but were woeful putting a score on the board.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#213

SIN CITY SWAMPRATS (Season 21)
7 wins 9 losses. Finished 9th of 12 teams
1416 points for. 1604 points against. 88.28%

Scored the least amount of points in a 16 game season ( 4 seasons have played 16 game fixtures ).

#212

GUMBIES FFC (Season 25)
3 wins 2 draws 11 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
1580 points for. 1662 points against. 95.07%

The Gumbies did everything they could off the field to finish last, accumulating 8 penalty points for the season. On field they weren't as bad, as they were the seasons 5th best scoring team and, without penalties, were only 1/2 a game behind the 2nd last team.


__________________________________________________________________________________

#211

FIGHTING FURIES (Season 3)
7 wins 11 losses. Finished 10th of 10 teams
1647 points for. 1766 points against. 93.26%

A 1 point penalty saw the Furies claim last spot amidst a logjam of teams with 7 wins in Season 3. A low scoring rate and poor backline made combined for a poor showing.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#210

RAZORS (Season 3)
7 wins 11 losses. Finished 8th of 10 teams
1692 points for. 1846 points against. 91.66%

The Razors were part of that 7 win logjam in Season 3, while they gave up more points than the aforementioned Furies, they were a much better scoring team that season, being the 4th scoring side that season.

 
#209

FIGHTING FURIES (Season 17)
7 wins 11 losses. Finished 9th of 10 teams
1748 points for. 1865 points against. 93.73%

This Furies side was among the worst at attacking and defending in Season 17, finishing with the 2nd worst percentage that season.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#208

GOLD CITY ROYALS (Season 18)
7 wins 10 losses. Finished 9th of 12 teams
1542 points for. 1671 points against. 92.28%

This Royals team didn't do too bad a job in their backline, but they only scored 33 more points than the worst scoring team that year.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#207

WEST COAST WONDERS (Season 23)
7 wins 10 losses. Finished 10th of 12 teams
1637 points for. 1759 points against. 93.06%

The third team to appear from Season 23 so far and the 3rd last placed team on the Season 23 ladder. Scored OK, but gave up too many points (3rd worst of the season).

__________________________________________________________________________________

#206

ROYS (Season 3)
7 wins 11 losses. Finished 7th of 10 teams
1636 points for. 1747 points against. 93.65%

The Roys first ever season saw them admist the 7 win group of Season 3 and nothing to write home about at either end of the field.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#205

CONEY ISLAND WARRIORS (Season 20)
6 wins 10 losses. Finished 9th of 12 teams
1496 points for. 1583 points against. 94.50%

This the worst placed side to represent the Coney Island Warriors. This side found it hard to hit the scoreboard despite their solid defensive work.

FIGHTING FURIES (Season 25)
8 wins 8 losses. Finished 6th of 12 teams
1532 points for. 1667 points against. 91.90%
FINALIST : Lost Elimination Final

A finals berth has been achieved by 156 SweetFA teams, however this Furies side, at #204, is the first finals side to appear in the rankings.
Why so low?
They scored the least amount of points for Season 25, gave up the 2nd most points in the season and had the 2nd worst percentage, yet they still somehow finished with 8 wins 8 losses to finish 6th.
The Furies had 5 victories with a winning margin of 8 points or less such was the fine line their season was on.
This is also the first side to appear that had a winning percentage at 50% or more.
 
#203

GEELONG GUMBIES (Season 14)
8 wins 9 losses. Finished 5th of 8 teams
1473 points for. 1593 points against. 92.47%

The 2nd team from Season 14 and, while they only missed the finals on percentage, they were among the seasons lowest scoring teams and one of the worst in stopping other teams scoring.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#202

GEELONG GUMBIES (Season 6)
9 wins 13 losses. Finished 11th of 12 teams
2170 points for. 2280 points against. 95.18%

This team didn't set the world on fire and were below average across the board.

#201

BAGHDAD BOMBERS (Season 16)
7 wins 11 losses. Finished 8th of 10 teams
1675 points for. 1761 points against. 95.12%

Scoring points was this teams weakness and couldn't help a reasonable season from their backline.

MOUNT BULLER DEMONS (Season 21)
4 wins 12 losses. Finished 12th of 12 teams
1638 points for. 1689 points against. 96.98%

The last placed team from Season 21, yet 3 teams from that season rank lower. The reason being that this Demons team scored quite well - scoring the 5th most points that season - and were the 2nd worst scoring team. Their percentage was quite solid thanks to one of their 4 wins being by 131 points!

__________________________________________________________________________________

#199

GOLD CITY ROYALS (Season 20)
6 wins 10 losses. Finished 11th of 12 teams
1660 points for. 1756 points against. 94.53%

One of the worst ever seasons, defensively, for a Sweet FA team, which offset what was one of Season 20s best scoring units.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#198

TITANS (Season 6)
10 wins 12 losses. Finished 9th of 12 teams
2224 points for. 2357 points against. 94.36%

The last of the Titans/Team Kournikovas 6 seasons ranked as their worst with the backline being their biggest weakness this season.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#197

DRAGONS FFC (Season 22)
6 wins 1 draw 10 losses. Finished 8th of 12 teams
1747 points for. 1852 points against. 94.33%
FINALIST : Won Elimination Final, Semi Final, Preliminary Final. Lost Grand Final.

Only 50 teams have appeared in a Sweet FA Grand Final. The team ranked at #197 was one of them. Despite a blessed finals run, their Home and Away form was less than ideal. They made the finals with a winning percentage of just 38.2%! They were mid pack for scoring and were among the three worst defending teams of Season 22. Making the finals, and advancing as far as they did makes this ranking seem much better than it could have been.

 
#196

CONEY ISLAND WARRIORS (Season 25)
4 wins 1 draw 11 losses. Finished 11th of 12 teams
1562 points for. 1613 points against. 96.84%

This Warriors team only outscored three other teams in their season and were middle of the pack for points allowed. Their winning percentage damaged their ranking on the back of 4 losses by 6 points or less and a draw.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#195

CONEY ISLAND WARRIORS (Season 24)
7 wins 1 draw 8 losses. Finished 9th of 12 teams
1574 points for. 1717 points against. 92.55%

One season before the Warriors team in #196 and only one place higher. While their winning percentage was much better - having just missed out on the finals by percentage - their backline had more leaks than the Titanic.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#194

GOLD CITY ROYALS (Season 17)
7 wins 11 losses. Finished 8th of 10 teams
1725 points for. 1789 points against. 96.42%

The worst scoring team of Season 17.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#193

WEST COAST WONDERS (Season 22)
8 wins 9 losses. Finished 7th of 12 teams
1703 points for. 1815 points against. 93.83%
FINALIST : Won Elimination Final. Lost Semi Final.

The 6th team from Season 22 and the 3rd finalist to appear (the 2nd from Season 22).
Season 22 also becomes the first season with half of its' teams appearing in the rankings to this point.
This team made the finals with a losing record, they only outscored 4 other teams that season and only 4 teams gave up more points.


 
#192

DARKNESS ETERNAL (Season 2)
7 wins 7 losses. Finished 6th of 8 teams
1373 points for. 1473 points against. 93.21%

The first, of two, seasons for Darkness Eternal saw them finish outside the Top 4 on percentage. If they could manage to score more points they might have given the finals a shake.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#191

EAST SIDE HAWKS (Season 15)
7 wins 10 losses. Finished 7th of 8 teams
1515 points for. 1587 points against. 95.46%

As we get closer to the middle of the standings, we're starting to see teams who were either good at scoring and bad at defending, or bad at scoring and good at defending or below average in both categories, just like this Hawks team.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#190

MOUNT BULLER DEMONS (Season 15)
8 wins 9 losses. Finished 5th of 8 teams
1459 points for. 1550 points against. 94.13%

Like the Hawks from their same season, they weren't great at scoring or stopping scores. They were worse at scoring than the 191st placed Hawks, better than defending and had one more win that season.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#189

RAZORS (Season 4)
11 wins 13 losses. Finished 8th of 13 teams
2136 points for. 2270 points against. 94.10%
FINALIST : Lost Elimination Final.

Another finalist with a losing record. This squad only outscored 4 other teams in a 13 team season and was mid pack in points that they gave up.
 
#188

LAS VEGAS BEARS (Season 5)
9 wins 13 losses. Finished 11th of 12 teams
2251 points for. 2345 points against. 95.99%

The first ever season for the Bears. 3rd best team at scoring in Season 5, abysmal on the back half.
Unfortunately the strength of this classic logo couldn't make me rank them higher :

FINALIST : Lost Elimination Final.

Pipped 4 other 6 win teams to make the finals on the 'strength' of their percentage and winning 3 of their last 4 games. Defending was this teams weakness .

#186

BAGHDAD BOMBERS (Season 10)
10 wins 11 losses. Finished 6th of 8 teams

TEAM TIMMY (Season 1)
6 wins 6 losses. Finished 5th of 7 teams
1166 points for. 1252 points against. 93.13%

The worst scoring team in Season 10 and one of the worst scoring teams of all time.
The only season for this team, before moving on to tour with the Lords of the Underworld.

ALBERTON SWAMPRATS (Season 18)
7 wins 10 losses. Finished 10th of 12 teams

WEST COAST WONDERS (Season 14)
8 wins 9 losses. Finished 4th of 8 teams
1434 points for. 1523 points against. 94.16%

#182

FIGHTING FURIES (Season 14)
6 wins 11 losses. Finished 7th of 8 teams
1487 points for. 1523 points against. 97.64%

A non-finalist from Season 14, placed one spot above a finalist from that same season. This Furies team gave up the same amount of points as the Wonders in #183, but they were a stronger scoring team, giving them the narrow advantage despite having a worse record and not making the finals.

__________________________________________________________________________________

#181

EAST SIDE HAWKS (Season 18)
8 wins 9 losses. Finished 8th of 12 teams
1585 points for. 1667 points against. 95.08%
FINALIST : Lost Elimination Final.

In a season where the best group of scoring teams scored freely, the Hawks were some way off the pace, while putting in an average performance in the backline.

#180

EAST SIDE HAWKS (Season 7)
12 wins 10 losses. Finished 5th of 12 teams
1802 points for. 1974 points against. 91.29%
FINALIST : Won Elimination Final. Lost Semi Final.

This Hawks team was amongst the worst 4 teams in scoring and the worst 4 teams in defending and also had the 3rd worst percentage in Season 7.
After starting the season with 7 losses in the first 8 rounds they then went 11-2 in the last 13 rounds including 6 wins of less than 10 points.
This team is also the lowest ranked team with a winning percentage greater than 50%

WEST COAST WONDERS (Season 20)
8 wins 8 losses. Finished 6th of 12 teams
1616 points for. 1707 points against. 94.67%
FINALIST : Lost Elimination Final.

An OK scoring unit, but only one team gave up more points in Season 20 to cap off an underwhelming season.

 
#178

DRAGONS (Season 6)
10 wins 12 losses. Finished 10th of 12 teams
2277 points for. 2357 points against. 96.61%

#177

GOLD CITY ROYALS (Season 25)
6 wins 1 draw 9 losses. Finished 9th of 12 teams
1577 points for. 1623 points against. 97.17%

Slightly below average on both ends of the field, only missed the finals by 1/2 a game. A draw against the last placed Gumbies proving their undoing .

#176

ROYS FFC (Season 11)
8 wins 13 losses. Finished 7th of 8 teams
1960 points for. 1991 points against. 98.44%

It's no surprise this team was such a high scoring team (2nd best in Season 9) with names such as Dunstall, Richardson, Carey, Ablett, Daicos, Lockett, Hird.
None of them could defend as they were the 2nd worst defending team that year.

ROYS FFC (Season 14)
7 wins 10 losses. Finished 6th of 8 teams
1611 points for. 1650 points against. 97.64%

Four wins in the last 5 rounds made their record look better. This team was one of Season 14s highest scoring teams, but they were far and away the worst defending team that season.

MOUNT BULLER DEMONS (Season 12)
7 wins 7 losses. Finished 4th of 8 teams

LAS VEGAS BEARS (Season 25)
7 wins 9 losses. Finished 8th of 12 teams
1589 points for. 1634 points against. 97.25%
FINALIST : Lost Elimination Final.

Another finalist entering the finals with a losing record. Their forward line had bragging rights over their teammates in the backline - coming in as the 3rd best scoring team that season - compared to the 8th best defensive unit.

DARKNESS ETERNAL (Season 3)
7 wins 1 draw 10 losses. Finished 6th of 12 teams
1647 points for. 1680 points against. 98.04%

The second, of two, appearances in the rankings for the dark ones. One of the weaker scoring teams among some quite bad scoring teams in Season 3. That offset their backline which conceded the 3rd least points.

BIGFOOTY DRAGONS (Season 2)
6 wins 1 draw 7 losses. Finished 7th of 8 teams
1480 points for. 1526 points against. 96.99%

The second, and last, season for the BigFooty Dragons was their worst. Just missed the finals by 1/2 a game (and a poor percentage compared to the finalists). This team was in the top half of scoring teams in Season 2, but only 2 teams gave up more points.

ROYS FFC (Season 12)
5 wins 9 losses. Finished 7th of 8 teams
1191 points for. 1192 points against. 99.92%

Finishing 2 games outside the finals. A very stingy backline that only gave up 5 more points than the best defending team that season. However, their lack of scoring power hurt their season, especially with 3 losses where their opponents scored 12 goals or less.
