I'm so confused at how this is sorted haha.

 

[Agent93]

I'm so confused at how this is sorted haha.

Should have been by avg rank, but I don't know what happened with Golly there.

It might actually be by FA. I'll fix it later.

What determines rank?

 

[Agent93]

What determines rank?

Most. For example you've played the 41st most games for the Hawks, whilst also amassing the 27th most amount of kicks.

 

[SM]

This response has left me more confused than before. So you've ranked us by each stat then our rank is the average of those ranks?

I'm showing you where you rank amongst Hawks players all time in each stat category.

Yeah I'm just talking about the 'rank' column.

 

[Agent93]

Yeah I'm just talking about the 'rank' column.

The average rank? That's the just the average of all the other ranks.

Season 31 brings us an opportunity to get to know everyone better, so (hopefully) on a weekly basis we'll bring you some new insight into your team-mates with our interview series. First up is new co-captain Chipmunk.

Chipmunk, how did you end up at the East Side Hawks?

I first joined BigFooty about a year ago looking for Supercoach tips and was shown to the SFA by Genghis Tron and Caz. I put my name on the sign-up thread and went to bed. When I woke up I felt very popular with lots of PMs! After a bit of time talking to the Captains and looking at the threads I chose the Hawks over the Demons and the Bears. I was aware that they were going through a rebuild of sorts and it was attractive being part of that.

Demons captain manangatang reckons he had a big part in that, which to me marks the first time you might not have been a Hawk. What about the second time: your secret defection to the expansion Vampires. What happened there?

Soon after I joined I got involved in some Werewolf games and found I was building up my profile there. In contrast, I had not contributed too much to the Hawks and was very much finding my feet. When I was approached, it was appealing; what better to make an impact in helping form an entirely new team? It sucked to keep it secret but understood that was the process. Of course as soon as I accepted, my own profile at the Hawks increased immeasurably - winning a Rising Star nomination, gaining confidence in threads and discovering the S29 rookie group. When the bid fell through I made clear that I was staying at the Hawks and not joining a future expansion bid.

You joined the SFA whilst Season 29 had already commenced. Do you think that changed your experience compared with a rookie joining up in an off-season?

It definitely did. I wasn’t even aware there was a rookie group until around Rd12, and you know your chances of winning rookie awards are quite a bit lower. The thing that strangely helped though was people thinking I was Caz’s alt. It meant I had to get in amongst it because I was getting some early attention.

For folks that don't know, there's an inkling you might not be around from these parts. Where are you from and how did you find the AFL?

I’m English, but lived in Melbourne from 2015-2017. In one of my first weeks the Hawks three-peat GF was on and a few drinks later I was at the MCG singing along to Ellie Goulding! I think you have to get involved in the footy to really experience the Melbourne culture.

Why did you latch on to GWS?

I was originally a Hawks fan as I lived in Glenferrie, but when I joined BigFooty I realised I wasn’t that big a fan and I knew nothing about the history. It felt more fun getting involved in a newer team with some active fans in the SFA. Happy to say I slept all through the 2019 GF though!

One of the things folks notice about you is that you have a keen interest in many forms of gaming. The obvious ones are the SFA, and the Chess references in your signature; can you let us in on what else you're into inside and out of BigFooty?

Yeah sure! I spend most of my time on BigFooty on the SFA, chess, soccer or Song Contest threads - and then get involved in Supercoach when the footy season starts. You're right, the Friday night Disord games nights in The Club Room have been quite popular! I've only been on BigFooty for a year though so no doubt there's a lot on this site that I'm not aware of. Out of BigFooty I do also Captain a chess team in real life, but like many others I'm trying to adjust to another lockdown here in the UK.

Yeah, lockdowns aren't that much fun. On a brighter note, you're the new captain of the East Side Hawks. How is the role suiting you?

I'm looking forward to the season! It's very exciting being co-captain and you've been brilliant showing me the ropes. It's a great group with cracking new additions. We'll see if we get a kind sim and a good run in finals this season and beyond.

Do you have any final words of wisdom for your team-mates before round 1 of season 31?

Famous last words I know, but I'm feeling good about this season. I'd tell my fellow team-mates to get stuck in and show the rest of the SFA why the Hawks is the place to be. We don't need to spam to make an impact.
