Beyond that, they have been a consistently successful club with regular finals appearances and only receiving their first wooden spoon in S34.
The Las Vegas Bears were founded in Season 5 by inaugural Bears captain hilly who put together a squad of 22 players, the majority of whom were new to the league. Their inaugural season was not a great success on-field ending with a record of 9 wins 15 losses to finish second last, but Season 6 would see the club make it's first grand final which ended in a close loss to the then Alberton Swamprats. The Bears' initial run would last only three season folding at the end of Season 7. But in Season 18, pantskyle would lead a bid to revive the club setting the Bears up for a much more successful and stable future with the club still being active today and breaking their premiership drought in S22.
The Bears would pull together a brilliant core of rookies from Season 26 onwards with the likes of Barrybran and Test Tickle making their debut under the leadership of dual Beez MVP Winner JoshWoodenSpoon and would compete in another classic grand final in Season 27, going down by 3 points to the Sin City Swamprats. The current day Bears are the home of Broken and attempting to help him break his 6012-day run without a finals win.

The Baghdad Bombers were originally founded back in Season 4 as the Bigfooty Bombers by dougthelegend, waspy, and StealthBomber as a club for Essendon supporters on Bigfooty. In their inaugural season with dougthelegend named as the club's first captain, and Windy Hill as their inaugural home ground. It was a slow start for the Bombers with their first four games being losses, but they would soon find their groove and come home with a wet sail, winning 16 of their last 20 games to finish on top of the ladder. Ultimately, the club would fall short losing to the Roys in the grand final of Season 4 but it proved to be the beginning of what an illustrious history. 20 seasons later the Bombers would win 5 premierships including back-to-back in Season 23 and 24 to be the joint most successful clubs in the Sweet FA with the West Coast Wonders and Fighting Furies.
Throughout the seasons, the Bombers would be led out by some of the most relevant and controversial figures in SFA history including HaroLad, KohPhi, WaynesWorld19 and VeinGlorious along with a litany of banned posters. They thrive on an identity of being antagonists and the most hated club in the league. Following their back-to-back success in S23-S24. The Bombers had a dip in form being anchored to the bottom of the ladder from S28-S29 before resurging in S31 to play in the grand final, ultimately losing to the Mount Buller Demons.
They would rectify this 3 seasons later, largely thanks to a miserly defence, convincingly beating the Roys FFC by 45 points in the grand final of S34 to become the first club to win 6 premierships and the outright most successful club in Sweet.
