We had a wonderful season with many laughs and a few tears and some computer throwing but overall reaching a Prelim was a great achievement and I’m a little bit proud of you all.

Thanks to everyone who posted with terrific humor and made each week fun and interesting. I hope our rookies David Schwarz RedVest4 Kabanna and Jazny enjoyed their first season with the Mighty Warriors and continue on to become stalwarts of this fantastic club.

A HUGE thanks to everyone who showed me incredible friendship and loyalty as the Captain, I just can’t thank you enough and it’s made the job easy and enjoyable...I know it’s a big ask to turn up full of piss and bad manners every week for 4-5 months but you guys and gals always manage it beautifully.
Fingers crossed and legs uncrossed we can go that one step further in 23 and get ourselves a little Premiership Cup Badge.


And now we have a few words from Frankston Rover the founder of the Mighty Coney Island Warriors, on the history of our proud club

 

[Norm Landrover]

Are the end of season stats going to be reviewed at this gala?

Are the end of season stats going to be reviewed at this gala?

We'll probably be too drunk, I'm half there already

 

[Norm Landrover]

We'll probably be too drunk, I'm half there already

I didn't see anything from after the prelim final, hence I asked

Kinda hoping we never speak of the prelim again

Thanks Wooshette.

Coney Island Warriors – A brief history…

The club is vaguely related to a previously failed bid OFG Warriors. This bid failed to win a spot into the league for Season 16, losing out to the re-born Alberton Swamprats and the Gold City Royals. The bid was then re-established with a view to enter the competition for Season 18 with the bid again headed by Karnezis_13 who lead the previous bid. The OFG is from the “Other Footy Games” Board on BigFooty.

Many of the players from that bid were not part of the new bid.

Due to some internal issues, the bid floundered with some key members of the bid leaving. Frankston Rover, Sydney Bloods and BoshtrichBurger then set about building the club from the ground up with less than 5 months before the vote was to take place.

The name 'Coney Island' was raised by Sydney Bloods and given the nickname 'Warriors' it is based on the 1979 cult movie, The Warriors. This name was chosen as the new name for the club.

The colours of orange and black were retained with the addition of white. The logo and geurseys were designed by lmach, a BigFooty poster.

As with the last bid, there was a strong policy of bringing in new talent. This time Bay 13 was targeted in an effort to bring in posters who could have maximum input into match threads.

The team was announced midway through round 15 of Season 17. Players announced as part of the bid were current Sweet FA'ers BoshtrichBurger, Sydney Bloods, amos, Son of Skeletor and DeeWong6996, as well as former Royal lmach and new posters Haduken, candiehappy, Lord_Flashheart, BigJoeD_ and Stronzo.

With the bid fast approaching, numbers swelled to over 26 players but the club was seen as a risk and with the possibility of up to 3 teams looking for admission, the club was in no way assured of a league spot.

Voting took place and on the 22nd May, 2014 the decision was made:

THE LAS VEGAS BEARS have been admitted into the SFA for S18 by committee vote (8-2 in favour). Congratulations to pantskyle and the leadership team for putting together a very strong bid. We look forward to seeing what you have to offer as a team for S18.

THE CONEY ISLAND WARRIORS have been admitted into the SFA for S18 by split vote (5-5, admin's call). Congratulations to Frankston Rover and the leaders at the Warriors for putting together a solid team.

The Warriors were in.

The team that ran out for Round 1 was:

B: amos, Sydney Bloods, oogac
HB: Mofra, Frankston Rover ©, Plugger35
C: Lord_Flashheart, Mr_Smooth, thetradesman
HF: BigJoeD, alex_is_on_fire, Stronzo
F: Brucie Buffer, invinciBLUES, deathevocation
FOLL: Haduken, candiehappy, zackah
I/C: DeeWong6996, Aussie Rocker

The Warriors saw huge success in their first season. They won their first home match, first road match, and their first finals match. In addition, they had a recorded seven wins in their first nine matches. The club then lost five out of six heading into finals, squeaking through by 13 points over the Roys in the elimination final. The semi-final saw the Warriors travel to Punt Road where the Furies soundly defeated the visiting Warriors by more than forty points. Best and Fairest was Lord Flashheart with InvinciBLUES the leading goalkicker with 47/

Season 19 was another successful season which saw the Warriors win the Minor Premiership and make their first Grand Final. Unfortunately, in controversial circumstances, the Warriors lost to the Dragons. The magical El Dubya won the B&F and the clubs first TFLUA Medal and Stronzo won the club goalkicking with 82 goals.

Season 20 saw BigJoeD_ take over as skipper and the transition saw the Warriors struggle on field, probably due to poor leadership. The club finished 9th. This season saw the debut of Wooshette who went on to win the clubs first EKA Medal.

Season 21 was an improved effort, with the club finishing 5th. Reginald Perrin won the clubs first Alf Andrews Medal with 84 goals for the season and Freofalcon won the clubs first Mobbs Medal with toxic finishing runner-up.

BigJoeD_ was sacked at the end of S21 due to gross incompetency with the magnificent Wooshette taking over as skipper - the first female to hold a captaincy outright in the competitions history. The club made the preliminary finals in Season 22, losing to the Dragons. Packedlunch was the leading goal scorer with 69 (tee-hee) with Jazny having a massive debut season, racking up 429 disposals.

Hopefully the first premiership is not too far away.

As always, a big thanks to Wooshette and everyone involved in the running of this club. I always wanted it to be the funnest team to be involved in and I think nights like this prove we really are the #destination club.

Have a great night.

Thanks Frankie, great write up and a fantastic insight into the history of the Warriors.

Now if everyone is seated with drink in hand we will start by formally welcoming our new players and handing over the jumpers.


Our first new recruit for Season 23 is I Dont Care a terrific pick up from the Rats and someone who will fit in with us perfectly. I’ve always been a fan of this guy, whilst beating him off with a big stick and couldn’t be more tinkled to have him here.
Welcome to the Warriors IDC and here’s your number 7 jumper, wear it proudly and spill plenty of piss, blood and pizza on it






Our second recruit is A Cut Above who most of us know as Bosk. Funny as f*** and a master of getting the opposition to melt straight into his hands Bosk will be a wonderful addition to the Warriors.
Welcome to the Warriors Bosky, here’s your number 33 as requested in honor of that other great troll, Cyril.

 

[Wosh]

BTW, that's ******* brilliant.

How awesome is that backdrop that Bosky made for me, he's going to be a f****** pearler

 

[Wosh]

Our third recruit is the lovable loose unit craffles , if ever there was a player that should be at the Warriors it’s this guy, he doesn’t give a toss who he offends he’s just here to have a good time and take out as many people as he can.
It’s with great pleasure I bring the Number 12 jumper out of retirement and give it to the only campaigner big enough to do it the justice it deserves.
A big welcome to you craffles, you’re FINALLY at a real club





Our first rookie for Season 23 is the delightful comewhatmay, I’ve had some dealings with her and she’s funny, clever and always ready to take and give piss. CWM is very keen to join in the fun of the SFA as a Warrior so please make her welcome and TRY to keep your eyes above her…well whatever. Just be nice you campaigners.

A very warm welcome comewhatmay, jump in and enjoy the mate ship and humor at the Mighty Warriors, here is your number 9 jumper

 

[Wosh]

Round 1 – West Coast Wonders v Coney Island Warriors @ The Colosseum


In a very high scoring game we met the reigning premiers in the first game of Season 22
Jazny got off to a flyer in her debut game for the Warriors with 30 disposals and a goal from the wing. Benwah83 got the ball down to Packedlunch who booted a bag of 7 and Lord_Flashheart added 4 but unfortunately it wasn’t enough to get us over the line.




Round 1 B&F votes

5. Jazny
4. Packedlunch
3. Benwah83

1. Freofalcon





Oh Jaz, if only you knew how true this is.
