Event The Season 25 Hall Of Fame Presentation

[Kennedy Parker]

INTRODUCTION
It's time. Welcome all to the Season 25 Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony, I am your host Cloud_. Induction into the Sweet FA Hall of Fame is the highest honour one can receive in this league, reserved for those who have made profound contributions and earned achievements in the league across a long period of time.

The Sweet FA Hall of Fame was established in Season 13 with an inaugural class of 6 inductees and over the seasons 19 esteemed players have been added. Some of these players would go on to become "immortals" within the Hall of Fame at a ratio no greater than 1:5. The Hall of Fame recognises a mixture of both playing, posting and services to the league. This is the first Hall of Fame Induction since Season 22 so in Season 25 we will have a class of 4 new inductees, the biggest since the inaugural class.

Selection Process
The selection process was conducted in three stages; nominations, short-listing, and voting.

Nominations were brought to the public for anyone to put forward a case for a player to be considered for the Hall of Fame. All of these nominations were compiled in the committee room where all representatives voted for their top 5 to go onto the short-list. Once on the short-list, each candidate was considered individually and voted on a yes/no basis of whether their credentials were worthy of induction into the Hall of Fame.

It's how I keep ahead of the tax man.

Wait until I become Super Rance. One dive at a time.

Thanks Cloud_ ,

It’s unbelievable to me that we’ve gotten to Season 25 of the SFA before looking to induct Biggie into the Hall of Fame. He’s one of those blokes that has been a constant of the competition. A one club champion, he was the player I most looked up to in my early days as a rookie and he brought a lot of joy, laughter and lighthearted banter to the competition through what I feel were it’s formative years. He was the driving influence behind my decision to play for the Hawks for ten seasons, the most significant portion of my career. Playing under him was a pleasure, and he had an aura that meant that everyone remained satisfied just contributing to what is one of the greatest SFA sides ever put together. He deserves every success and accolade he receives.
Congratulations to one of my favourites, and all the best with everything moving forward.

*'s sake Cloud_ , I just came for a beer and now I'm doing all your work for you.

But to kick on with the ceremony, congratulations to yet another of my ex-teammates larrikin , an enduring force and champion at the East Side Hawks.
I first played alongside larrikin upon moving from Mount Buller at the end of Season 9, and once again was struck by how humble and personable he was. I don’t think there’d be a player in the competition with a bad word to say about him. He was as quick witted as they came but never crossed the line and wasn’t the type to make a joke at another player’s expense. He always contributed well to the side and enjoyed the fruits of some dominant seasons in the sim to back up his claims. His resume is as credentialed as any, and I was lucky enough to play alongside him in both premiership and Mobbs Medal seasons. When I took over the captaincy he was exactly what I needed in an unofficial lieutenant - steadfast, loyal and someone you could rely on to contribute well to our cause. The competition is richer for his involvement.

Congratulations larrikin on your achievement and contributions to the competition.

[Ant Bear]

Congratulations to larrikin. Continues to contribute in his dotage

 

[fumbler]

larrikin deserves his spot but Biggie doesn't reach the standards that the SFA HoF was set up for.
What did Biggie add to the game or the league besides playing or posting a few team sheets?
