For just the nineteenth time in Sweet FA history, a 500 game milestone has rolled around. And, may I be so bold to say, what a milestone it is, with the great beez raising the bat on this occasion.

Debut:
Season 9, Round 13.
Most frequent teammates: iDon 290 matches, saintkildaman 231, Shermy 207, GWS Goose 187 and StFly 187.
Did you know? The last hitout beez recorded was way back in their 215th match (Season 23, Round 14)

THE JOURNEY:

The story begins way back in November 2008 with this simple post in the New Players thread:
Name: beez
Preferred Position 1: Half-forward
Preferred Position 2: Wing
Preferred Position 3: Bench
Number: 13 (26) (5)
Height: 175cm
Weight: 68kg
Team: Whatever...
Attributes: Experience, experience, experience


I have NFI what I'm doing​

A thirsty ClarkeM didn't hesitate in signing up this newcomer to the Wonders. beez would have a short and uneventful stint at the Wonders to begin their career. Their first match thread post though has proven most prophetic:
Woot, I have perfected my left foot dribbler from the boundary.​
Yes, beez is still dribbling all these years later (and it is certainly most perfect)!

After being boned by the Wonders, beez headed to the Bombers where he made his name as a league superstar winning awards for fun, being part of the media revolution, captaining the Bombers and simply astounding everyone with their all-round talents.

After 291 games in the red and black, new pastures beckoned and beez ended up at the Gumbies where he is a life member, part of the season 36 droughtbreaking premiership team and the ‘moral Deestroy Medalist’ from that wonderful afternoon.

Not only has beez been around for so long, they’ve been there when the big stories have broken. For example, not only did beez win the first players association trophy (now known as ‘the beez’), he famously freed the nipple in celebration:

There was also the time that beez was there on the steps on Old SFA House during the dismissal of HaroLad:

If it has happened in the last 25 seasons of qooty, there's a strong chance beez was there or responsible for it.

A FEW WORDS FROM AI:

"beez has not only excelled on the field but has also charmed fans and peers alike with their charismatic personality and sharp sense of humour. Their presence brings a unique energy to the game, making each match more enjoyable for everyone involved. beez's journey to 500 games is a remarkable story of passion and excellence, inspiring future generations of athletes to pursue their dreams with the same vigour and dedication."

IN CONCLUSION:

Reaching a milestone of 500 games is no small feat. To do so while still posting like a pro is testament to the talent beez possesses in this quirky corner of the internet.

beez, few have achieved the 500 milestone and even fewer have done it this well.

Comrades (beez likes it when I use these lefty phrases), please post below with your toast and roast of the one and only.

500 is big

 
You're lucky I changed "See you at the Demons" to "Good on you", Wosh.
I’ll be honest, it’s going to take a while to find the words to describe beez. He’ll appreciate I’m going to pull out my thesaurus and shake it around.

Just don't make any grammatical errors, else beez may retire before actually registering game 500.

Hence the big book of words is coming out and my spell checker is ON
 
When I joined beez made me cry
20 seasons later he makes me laugh.

beez is one of the reasons we stay (we’ll see) and I love him.
500 and not a (visible) wrinkle!
 
Did you mean to write "banned" rather than "boned"?
Nah.
Boned= unceremoniously dispensed with in a decision which looks worse with hindsight.
