Your welcome.
It's with great pleasure that in 5th place is a member of the much-underrated season 33 rookie crop- AnUltimateRessie.
Ressie has stepped up into a number of roles in the last two seasons- captain, Committee (or Cabal..?) member, media performer, match thread poster, prominent match thread poster and Rate the Opposition Tsar. In each, great passion and enthusiasm has been brought leading to wider league attention.
On the media front, Ressie has probably been 2024's most prolific thread starter. There has been no shortage of Wonders' propaganda pieces- be they the good, the geographical or the Clarkey. Then there is the Rate the Opposition thread which was seen to completion due to Ressie's strong record keeping and fastidious chasing of votes (not to mention orchestrating an intelligent conclusion that saw Mobbs mow down two plucky season 33'ers to take the crown).
However, the greatest contribution Ressie made this season was steading the ship at the West Coast Wonders after a wobbly season or two. Recruiting rookies, removing quotas and reintroducing levity, the Wonders ended the season as a posting success story and a team with a greatly enhanced reputation. Congratulations on your season and high finish in the beez, Ressie.
Clearly giving you the Rate the opposition has given you the necessary creds to become a Beez force

Well then, let me catch my breath.
The Sweet FA Community, what a place it is to leave most of real life at the door and try and have a bit of fun. I'm thoroughly humbled that a number of fellow qooty enthusiasts have seen fit to vote for me in this season's beez Trophy. Thank you for those sixty people who took the time to vote for their twenty worthy contributors to the league. You've created an impressive top twenty with some huge names also missing out.
Tonight I share the podium with two corkers- big_icky whose visual presentations are out of this world, whose stanalysis is world class and whose match thread posting is class. I have genuinely enjoyed watching your rise this season and you are yet another example of a poster coming into their own in their sophomore season. And Tonga Bob, I was convinced you were going to be the first to back-to-back-back beez triumphs. You're a treasure to this place and remain the only person who has lured me over to the Freo board for a couple of cameos.
Stoked to see three people from the much underrated rookie class of season 33 make the top twenty tonight. James Colorado and AnUltimateRessie we will forever be bonded by when we joined this league, and I would love to see each of you winning one of these soon as you are quality captains and more importantly, excellent Sweet FA citizens
Quick shout outs to Hate, ClarkeM and Elton Johns Wig who all contributed so much to the league and its running this season and all of whom I had pleasant and productive conversations with at various points.
DenieD who woulda thunk your late Sunday night PM would have led to this?!? Thanks for introducing me to the most fun board on BigFooty and your assistance in my early seasons.
Finally, my family in double blue at the Gumbies. What a group of people we have within the four walls at Gumbania, you are tremendous. EVERY one of you. So many of you reached out when I first joined the club and have provided assistance at various times. I am still in this league because you are brilliant colleagues and we are creating a force. Let's only get greater!
Okay, I've monologued for way too long. Let's have a bloody good night (and keep me away from the karaoke machine).

We gave a thread about posting stats an.award.Best Thread of the Season (Non-Match threads)
This was ever so tight but there can be only one thread and congratulations to big_icky on the S37 List Assessment & Posting Stats + S34-36 catch-up Thread. Truly, a wonderful thread that obsessed over the very numbers we centre this place around. Well done.
Some words from serial_thrilla and Greenery
Big_icky is a serial_thrilla clone which is good because serial lost his spark ever since he failed to win the beez and invested himself into bringing down his own club
I hope one day that serial_thrilla can move on from this and get the help he needs
In previous seasons of this league, elite Sweet personalities such as Ant Bear, WaynesWorld19 and serial_thrilla have leveraged the Posting Stats media concept to attract adoration and acclaim from their peers as they used the data to measure league activity, whilst also massaging the statistics to suit their narrative.
In Season 37 Dragons sophomore big_icky has joined them, as he not only used the data to take pot-shots at the struggling Gumbies, but also to fill in the black hole of nothingness that resulted from former admin Kennedy Parker's desire to mask the frighteningly sharp decline in league activity under his watch.
Interestingly enough, this all came about initially because former Dragons captain Greenery was too lazy to track the Dragons posting stats this season, so he delegated the work to one of his minions. Luckily for the disgraced skipper, Icky saw the data piling up in his spreadsheets and couldn't get enough of it.
Congratulations big_icky you beez whore.
This is horrendous.

Well done.
Season 37 was a real "coming of age" period for Dragons sophomore player big_icky, as he seemingly continued the trend of the EKA runner-up out-performing the winner in subsequent seasons.
His likeable demeanor in match threads has now been complimented by a surprisingly deep foray into league record keeping, and many people in Sweet have clearly started to take notice.
With a style compared to the likes of serial_thrilla and Barrybran (SerialBran?), icky demonstrated his flair for spreadsheets, graphics and giving a helping hand to his club and the league alike, whilst a discernible appreciation for the history of the league has also become clear.
His weekly update of The List™ caused great consternation as player names were mysteriously whittled down throughout the season, and his Sweet FA 90s Style Shield Logos drew many admirers (especially from Mobbs); but it was his undertaking of the superb S37 Rising Star, S37 Positional Stats and S37 List Assessment & Posting Stats + S34-36 catch-up that really made him stand out from the crowd.
Clearly there are signs that this young German lad is a future leader of the league. Well done icky!

Ladies and gentlemen, your Season 37 beez Trophy winner is none other than the everybody’s favourite bird of prey, Falconista.
With his status in the league cemented long before now, saluting here in the S37 beez Trophy count to claim his first beez surely solidifies Falconista as one of the most prominent & prolific figures in our game, as he now adds the beez Trophy to a long list of honours in what has been a meteoric rise this past 12 months.
Premiership skipper, 2 time Frankston Rover Award winner and now beez Trophy winner, Falconista has all the tricks in his kit bag and now has the silverware to match.
His 1510 votes this season is the best tally since Headless ’ record haul in S33, as he becomes just the 2nd Gumbies player to win this prestigious honour following in the footsteps of his predecessor, former Gumbies skipper Barrybran who saluted back in S31.
It has been a steady and unwavering climb up the beez rankings for the Gumbies skipper, having finished runner up in S36, 5th in S35 and 8th back in S34 in just his second season in the competition.
But perhaps the most impressive element of his win here is the largely selfless way he has gone about it.
From faithfully honouring the legacy of procuring quality ladders week in, week out having built on the outstanding service of league legends Ljp86 & Broken in this space, he has also quietly assumed ownership over the Sweet FA tipping competition in recent seasons and once again tirelessly ensured a smooth operation to add to the experience of many other players in the league, even regularly tagging those tardy tippers amongst us who rely on his metronomic consistency to keep us engaged.
Not only this, but he has performed admirably as Gumbies skipper in recent seasons leading on from Barrybran ’s resurrection job to set the Gumbies on a path to securing their future, and in his spare time he produces outstanding high quality media for us all to consume at a time when a dearth of media sees the offerings become leaner and less engaging by the season.
The highlight on the media front was arguably his $weet $alary $peculations piece perfectly timed for the beez season, but he was also a big driver behind the scenes for the well received Sweet School of Shoop resource that didn’t quite come to fruition, as well as celebrating his clubmates in style with quality milestone threads in their recognition, a mark of the calibre of his leadership and the quality of his media production.
And not only all of that, but he genuinely comes across as a bloody good bloke too. And he’s probably hung like a moose too (like all beez winners), builds schools in third world countries and walks little ladies across the street when he’s not coaching inner city youths the value of teamwork.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please charge your glasses to the Season 37 beez Trophy winner…
Falconista!!
From the second he arrived he has been an absolute ripper.
I'm blessed to have him in my team.
This is very well deserved.
Good job Falconista you have provided me with a lot of enjoyment over the last couple years and judging by this, for plenty others as well.

I declined to vote this season for far more noble reasons for once. I’ve only been around intermittently, and haven’t paid anywhere near enough attention to the joint to warrant an accurate vote. I could easily have gone through the motions and made it an ill-informed popularity contest, but I’ll leave that to others. I prefer to vote when I can make a proper judgement of how someone has posted for the season.
