The resistance continues in mid 2021, striking blows against the unholy coalition of the idle. PLUR remains at acceptable levels, but what the world needs now is to reclaim the gift of anger and so the loyal few look to burn it all down. Will this be the last stand for The East Side Hawks as the take the stage in the Season 31 Festival of the Biggie!​

Welcome all to the season recap and Biggie-est cup count for the East Side Hawks in season 31 of the Sweet FA. Let's start of with a quick refresher of some of the big events across the league in the season that was:

• The East Side Hawks finished 7th and were eliminated in the first week of the finals at the hands of the vitriolic Bombers.
• NaturalDisaster completed his first administration campaign with no-one actively working to depose him.
• There were several new captains including Chipmunk and Mozzie19.
• The Hawks' Hate was unleashed and the league revelled in it.
• The Jesus descended and was revealed as the figurehead of a teen worshipping cult.
• A net even in wrestling afficinados was achieved with PhenomenalV1 replacing the retired Loonerty.
• The Mount Buller Demons lined up for another KOTD, taking away the S31 premiership.

Now that you're up to date let's recap the Hawks' season and count down the chase for the Biggie-est cup which recognises the player who has performed best on-field across season 31. The Biggie-est cup is named for former club captain, leading possession winner, and current teammate, Biggie!

This season The New Player Ratings System was again used to determine each and every Hawk's impact in each round and the cumulative total provides us with our best on-field player in season 31. Recent past winners include spookism, The Half Back, Agent93, and Loonerty. Who will get up in the Season 31 Festival?

In addition we'll be preseting the YOTC Plate for the club's top goal-kicker, the Mr Eagle captain's Trophy, The Filth Medal for the best new Hawk in the league, and the larrikin award: the player's choice of the best poster. Let's rip this pit apart!

*Note: for newcomers to the Festival of the Biggie this will take a couple of days to complete. Don't expect some wham bam 2 hours and it's done thing, this is a festival. Don't destroy yourself in the circle before the headliners hit. This aint no side show.

Round 1 :: Sun Feb 7th, 2021
Roys FFC 15.10.100 defeated East Side Hawks 12.9.81 @ The BJO
By PMBangers

It was the beginning of a new season and a new Hawks, after installing a twin captains chair to also fit Chipmunk alongside Agent93 we were off and away into a star wars themed opening round. The Hawks were excited to unleash new recruits Hate PhenomenalV1 Zoops and andleanback against the ever delightful Roys, quietly confident of delivering a demolition job on the losers.

It was an all round enjoyable week of Banter, as the Roys and Hawks continued their happy and healthy posting relationship, with friends Supersuns Dingster and fresh from retirement Wosh mixing well, almost at to the point where they should be hawks….. Hmm something to consider indeed.

Once pleasantries were done with, we were set to get underway in Muddy conditions at the BJO. The Hawks led for majority of the first half thanks to the efforts of new recruit Hate who registered 2 goals in his first 40 minutes of Qootball at the Hawks, along with the likes of 11kgm, por_please_ya and Itsmyshow. Despite the efforts, the Roys headed into the main break with a 6 point lead. It didn’t get better from there for our Hawks heroes, as the Roys went on to win by 19-points and give the Hawks flashbacks of the bottom four season they had just endured.

Round 2 :: Sun Feb 14th, 2021
Fighting Furies 14.11.95 lost to East Side Hawks 18.16.124 @ rfctigerarmy's Hippodrome
By PMBangers

There were calls to sack the Qoach from the Hawks faithful after a poor showing in Round 1, but with the full support of the playing group, and the board, Clarko93 continued in his role with ChipMitchell to be a gradual successor. Regardless of the off field chatter around Qoaching appointments, the Furies hosting the Hawks in a, well, awful fashion.

With their, I don’t really have an adjective for it, but their posting was something and was the motivator leading into the game, as the Qoaching Qrew gleefully exclaimed “We ******* owe these pricks for what they’ve done to us” before we ran out.

We kicked off in spectacular fashion, exchanging the lead throughout the first half with the Furies heading in to the main break with an 11 point lead, despite the best efforts of fresh faced andleanback with 2 second quarter goals. It was a straight between the eyes half time chat, with Chipmunk pulling the team in and sitting us down in a semi-circle orientation.

“We’ve had a poor first half, that’s alright, talking about it won’t change that. What I want you all to do is close your eyes and think back, think back to the week we’ve endured out here. They’ve put us in dumpsters, they’ve strawmanned the hell out of us and they’ve quite honestly been downright unpleasant! Are we going to let them get away with that?”

It proved to work, as the Hawks ran out the game with an eventual 29 point victory in enemy territory, with 8 goal kickers amongst the 18 scored for the team, it was team play galore as the Hawks steadied themselves to sit 1-1

Round 3 :: Sun Feb 21st, 2021
Gumbies FFC 10.7.67 lost to East Side Hawks 11.13.79 @ The House of Gumby
By PMBangers

Round 3 saw the Hawks on the road, yet again, and heading to the House of Gumby to face off against the team we SLAUGHTERED in the pre season, in a completely fair and unaltered manner despite what some sort of feathered fool may try and suggest. Regardless, as is always the case with the Gumbies we enjoyed a nice week, being front row for the resurgence of Ned Ryerson

In what proved to be the Hawks most dominant game, to this point that is, of Season 31, we never dropped the lead against the plasticine plonkers, keeping eventual Mobbs medallist GWS Goose to just 13 disposals in one of the prouder days for the Hawks youthful midfield. It wasn’t all positives unfortunately, as the new look forwardline from Season 30 continued to have the same accuracy woes the Hawks have always had, as we finished with 11 goals and 13 behinds, with Qoach Clarko93 quoted after the game as saying “Do we need to go to Cash Converters to learn how it’s done!!” followed by a slight chuckle from TY24 in the corner of the room.

Round 4 :: Sun Feb 28th, 2021
East Side Hawks 13.11.89 lost to West Coast Wonders 23.13.151 @ The Eyrie
By PMBangers

Well, it was a good run heading in with 2 wins, the first time in what felt like forever for the Hawks having consecutive victories, and perhaps from filling up on bathwater it was obvious the Hawks were content with that fact indeed. I don’t remember much from the Round 4 match thread, as the Hawks shot their load of high volume posting against the Gumbies and Wonders did the week prior against the Bombers, maybe.

The Hawks started the game very well, kicking the first 3 goals but unfortunately were unable to put a significant lead on the board taking 10 points more into the first break than our opponents. There wasn’t much to write about after this, as the Wonders put forward what felt like an onslaught of goals, a constant tsunami of scoring and an utterly demoralising 63 point shellacking of the Hawks.

This wasn’t a great game, and another one we can chalk down to being a ‘learning experience’.

YOTC Plate

The YOTC plate is named for legendary Hawk forward YOTC, who holds the leading goals per game average for the club. It is awarded to the leading goal scorer of the club for the season. Fittingly as it is the most obvious award we'll get it done first up instead a poor attempt at building suspense over the rest of the season recap.

The winner of the YOTC plate for season 31 is PhenomenalV1 with 38 goals.



PV1 rotated through full forward, half-forward flank and forward pocket on his way to topping the goal kickers' list by 4 goals over second placed (and last season's winner) Itsmyshow. Notably PV1 only had 2 more scoring shots than IMS so both were in it up to the end with IMS outscoring PV1 5 goals to 2 in the last three games.​

 

[Agent93]

So we're roughly a quarter of the way through the recap, so it's time for a provisional leaderboard!



SM has burst out of the gates ripping heads of bats at every turn. Sitting neatly in third places if fullback Shermy with 14 gaosl against to this stage of the season.

Time for some moshpit madness!
