Media Wonders Rebrand for Heritage Round 37

[AnUltimateRessie]

Club Statement:

The Wonders Fantasy Football Club stands tall and proud as we embrace the opportunity to honour our history during season 37's heritage round. As custodians of a legacy rich in triumphs and traditions, we are deeply committed to celebrating the essence of who we are and where we come from.

This heritage round we embark on a journey of reflection back to season 01 embracing the nostalgic essence of our beloved identity: 'Seventh Wonders'.

The Wonders were founded by Sweet F.A hall of fame member eagleskickass and were the seventh team to be added into the league prior to the opening season. The Mount Buller Demons and the Wonders are the only founding clubs remaining in the league, with both teams also changing their names in the early era of Sweet.

Alongside a return to the 'Seventh Wonders' moniker. This week we will announce our heritage jumper, celebrate our founding season, and take a journey back through time as we mark the 30th, 20th, and 10th anniversaries of our season 07, season 17, and season 27 sides.

Heritage Guernsey 37

This weekend against the Mount Buller Demons the Seventh Wonders will don a 2006 inspired guernsey.

Originally designed in 2006 by Storm20, the red guernsey with prison bar styled grey and black stripes will make a return for a one-off special game.

The design was modernised by Fizzler for the 25th season heritage round and has yet again been updated for this weekend.

This is the second time today you've pointed out how the Wonders are very similar to other inferior leagues and I never noticed.

That logo was used between season 15 and 24

pointing it out because It is the exact thing I do, I am also great with reconsing logos and did a research folio on it

A bit different to the gold and blue the Wonders have now! I assume the change happened when we went to the 'west coast' name. 2006 was actually the Wonders last season under 'seventh' before they tried to affiliate with the Eagles board.

Magnificent thread!

Season 01

It would be ignorant to celebrate the Seventh Wonders heritage without exploring their founding season. To assist with this, the league administrator at the time, Mobbs, was kind enough to lend their time to talk about the initial season of the Wonders.

The final team to be formed in time for the inaugural Sweet FA season was the Seventh Wonders, due to the attention of eagleskickass . Initially considering the nickname of the Kit Kats, that idea was soon ditched for the 7th Wonders, the name inspired by simple maths - the team was the 7th club formed. - Mobbs

The soon to become founding vice captain of the club, i wanna play too, was the first to suggest the 7th Wonders after wanting to name the team after their status as the 'left overs'. Team newbie kids were among the first names suggested.

The Wonders spent the initial couple of seasons at a couple of grounds in Attenboro suburb : Attenborough Oval and Wonderland. They then moved to Subiaco for a number of seasons, before eventually settling on the Colosseum in Rasasidge, where they still play today (as at Season 37). All three of the previous grounds have since been bulldozed. - Mobbs

Attenborough Oval now


The Wonders immediately took the comp by storm, winning the first premiership after sneaking into the finals. - Mobbs

The Wonders defeated the Mount Buller Demons (then team pump), Dragons and then Team Kournikova to win the grand final by 37 points. vanders is the only current player to have won that premiership.

Grand Final - Seventh Wonders 17.21.123 def Team Kournikova 12.14.86

Premiership Squad
B: Hmmmmm - Eagle Fan - Elt
HB: The Glove - Freo Rules - I wanna play too
C: Bernd Grunzberger - Fighting Fury - Vanders
HF: Eagleskickass - Catman - Thommo16
F: Sydney Fan - Roger the Sheep - Nitroglycerin
R: Sir David Attenborough - MagpieGal19 - BT

INT: Carob6 - DeeGirl9

Season 01 Wonders Statistics:



Sir David Attenborough won the Wonders best and fairest while a 66 goal haul across 15 games cemented Roger The Sheep as the first leading goal kicker award recipient.

The Seventh Wonders went on to lose EKA the next season, who was busy setting up his second premiership side in two seasons (the Hurricanes). Captains came and went, including lioness who holds the intense honour of being the only person to ever captain two clubs at the same time!

All through their early history, and indeed right up until approximately Season 37 and beyond, the Wonders have never lost a match. (source: West Coast Wonders) - Mobbs​

Typically stellar work from AnUltimateRessie

Given that the Wonders haven't achieved anything for 16 seasons, it's no surprise that they're keen to revisit the past.

We have a golden past, present and future.

The suppurating sore that is the Drags will disappear this season via its merger with the equally unfortunate Royals.

30th Anniversary of Season 07

Season 37 marks the 30th anniversary of Season 07. An important season in the history of the Seventh Wonders.

The Wonders were captained by Alberton_Magpie and Kerr4PM in season 7 and marked the first season that the 'West Coast' pre-fix was used for the club. In the announcement for the name change, then captain Alberton_Magpie stated "The Seventh Wonders have gone with the times and like the swamprats, demons, gumbies and bombers have found and AFL board Affliliate- The West Coast Eagles."
This also marked a move of home ground to Subiaco Oval.

Site of Subiaco Oval, now demolished.

This season also saw former club captain lioness leave the Wonders to join the Roys and as for players that were part of the season 07 team that are still in the Sweet F.A, well it's just larrikin.

Season 7 had a slow start for the Wonders as they lost their first three games with their first victory coming against the Hawks. The Wonders continued a inconsistent season before finding a streak of wins in the back half of the season to send them into finals.

The Wonders dealt with the Gumbies fairly easily in an elimination final before falling to the Sharks in a semi-final clash. The Bombers ended up victorious on grand final day.

Season 07 Statistics:



Statistically, Storm20 was the highlight of the Wonders season with heals and Yello Mit kicking 27 goals each to be the leading goal kickers.

BadSeed was the choice of rucks for the season with 116 hit-outs and 1116 dream team points while heals had a weird statistic of 211 kicks and 9 handballs but was elite with tackle pressure (118 tackles).

eagleskickass was the top vote getter for the Wonders in the Mobbenfuhrer Medal (4th) and Storm20 finished 2nd for the Wonders and 10th overall.

I'd not seen Kerr4PM's name for so long, those were the days.
