Good evening friends and welcome to Preliminary Final week.
At the start of each season I map out each of the potential milestones that the Coney Island Warriors reach, but the realist in me limits that mapping to the home and away season. So it goes without saying that our participation in the finals series for season 35 has come as a pleasant surprise on a number of accounts. The most obvious one being the evolution of the #Flagwazzas tilt and the chance to create history, but the extra three games (and counting!) has meant that another milestone is upon us - the 100th game in the qareer of FootyGuy13.
Those with a penchant for corporate history & useless trivia will know that there were 39 different variations of water displacement product before the scienticians perfected the formula and gave us WD40. And so it is with our milestone man, with a dozen draft iterations of FootyGuys giving way to the finalised version we celebrate today. Hailing from the Melbourne electronic AFL realm, Guy joined the Warriors in season 30 and quickly brought his statistical acumen to bear and became a key member of the Warriors organisation. He also had a standout rookie season onfield, culminating with Guy being adjudged the best performing rookie in season 30 as part of the Rising Star awards.
It is behind the scenes however that Guy comes to the fore. Pretty much from his entry to the SFA he has provided expert analysis, meticulous attention to detail and a passion for history to the Warriors via a number of initiatives. He put together and presented a wonderful thread celebrating the 20 greatest Warriors of all time, gave us insights into our onfield performances and ensured that the Frankston Rover Medal votes meet ISQ 9001 certification standards. And last but certainly not least, he serves as the Vice Captain of the reigning Minor Premiers, crouched in a state of cat like readiness should I ever
Not content with the internal work he does for the Warriors, Guy has provided equally impressive service to the wider Sweet community. He has been a part of the Match Simming & Posting team over a number of seasons, has regularly provided match thread OP's (usually on or about round 13) and has extended his statistical chops to Mobbs Medal predictions.
In match threads he is a source of both dry humour (hence the WD40 analogy), a zeal for all things Eurovision and obscure yet hilarious videos, all in precise 20 post doses. He knows that today is Friday in California, he knows which box has a carrot in it and he knows how to ski the Coney Island hard top. And on the field he has been a winger par excellence over much of his qareer with a Frankston Rover Medal to his name before venturing forward this season where his performances should see him attain his first All-SFA blazer. Here's his first 99 games by the numbers:

For those worried that my announcing a milestone will hinder our chances in this week's Preliminary Final, of which I was one, Guy has been kind enough to highlight how we went in his 50th game vs the Sin Citizens in season 32. Check it out:

Someone greatly admired both within the walls of Van Cortlandt Park and throughout Sweet, Guy is one of those people that work tirelessly to make this place somewhere we like to come and spend a bit of time being online sporting personalities. I truly see him being a future Frankston Rover Award recipient, and a heart & soul Wazza who will one day join the pantheon of club greats & Life Members at Coney Island (before you ask yet again Headless, no).
So on behalf of all of us at Coney Island, mazel tov to you FootyGuy13 for an outstanding century, and here's to the next few hundred!
Get around him Sweet!!!
