Ahead of the grand final on Sunday, there have been some awards handed out around the league. Some of our own have done quite well so let's summarise:
The Rising Star:
"The SFA Rising Star award was created to recognise the onfield and off-field achievements of the best of these rookies," back in S23. Since then, "the criterion for this award is a combination of on field and off field performance .The SFA Rising Star award is judged and awarded by the previous rookie class. It passes on from one rookie class to the next. It is not an officially recognised league award but is damn close.
All three of our rookies had fantastic seasons, so all drew a ranking (all a touch low maybe..?)

10th: nobbyiscool
7th: cats_09

The All-SFA:
As you can probably guess from the name, this is the team of the season a la the All Australian. This award combines on-field performance with posting so a general guide is an average of less than 20 match thread posts per week, means you won't get selected. Each team nominates up to five of their players for selection.
The sim was pretty tough on us individual stat-wise this season, so we nominated the following players:

Alas, sadly none made the team, however kudos on your seasons nonetheless.
Mobbs Medal:
The Mobbs Medal is awarded to the best and most consistent player as judged by the Sim. Each game, the sim randomly generates text commentary, stats as well as the best 3 players for each game. These votes are collected by the Simmers and sent privately to the Admin to be recorded.
The following people all polled votes:

- Chat Pile, 3 votes.
- Mop, bone2468, saintkildaman, 2 votes.
EKA:
The EKA is awarded to the best rookie poster as decided by each club who vote 3-2-1 on who they think have been the best three rookies of the season (excluding their own).
In one of the best, deepest and most dynamic set of rookies for 5+ seasons, it was tough to get a look in. However two of our rookies attracted votes:
- cats_09: 2 votes,
- nobbyiscool: 1 vote.
SFACA MVP:
The recently renamed award that is purposed to reward those who play in less fancy positions that are not necessarily rich with statistics. That means the following positions will be eligible: BP, FB, HBF, CHB, HFF, CHF, FP and INT.
This award was revised somewhat this season and league admin Kennedy Parker put the call out for club nominations. The obvious choice for someone who dominated a non-glamour position was rye with their nomination below. The award was won by okeydoke7 but I'm claiming that rye came second. Fantastic season rye!
"For the SFACA, Gumbies nominate rye. They have dominated in the forward pocket position- #1 for goals, #2 DT, highest goal tally in individual match (across all forward pockets in the league this season), averages 2 goals per game and responsible for 13.66% of the Gumbies' points for.
At the end of the home and away season, rye sat second on our S36 goalkickers list just two goals behind someone who has been named at full forward six times and ahead of someone named at full forward eight times. They are active though not a huge poster (hence no all-SFA nom), but have absolutely owned a less glamourous position which is the essence of this award."
Frankston Rover:
The Frankston Rover Award is the Administrator's Choice Award given to the player or players in the league who have given invaluable service across the season to help the smooth functioning of the league and enhancing the experience of all in the league through effort, commitment and service.
Somehow....in a massive surprise to me still...yours truly shared this award with managatang for season 36.
Still to come:
Sunday evening: the Grand Final! How superb would it be to add 18 new Gumbies premiership players to join StFly and Jeremias?
The biggest individual award of them all, the beez medal is awarded next Friday evening (15/12/2023).
Congratulations to those listed above for your league recognition. To the whole squad, you're awesome, and hopefully we cap off the season with a premiership on Sunday night. See you in the match thread.
