On the eve of team selection I wanted to give a more officially shoutout to Ljp86 who plays his 600th game this weekend. A lot goes through my head when coming to terms with this. A bloke has sat and endured this silly game for 600 iterations of matchplay? What the actual hell??? I sound like a broken record I'm sure, but again I want to show my greatest appreciation for someone who I think has contributed more towards validating this "project" than perhaps any other!

For those who are comparatively new to the game, let it be remembered that ljp has not only been a stalwart of the Sweet FA since about ... what is it, about Season 4 or 5? And this week is his game 600. A one club player too (as far as I remember). Yes I like to badger him and the Dragons about the "merger incident" but just for him, I'll call it one club :D On top of this, newer players won't know he headed up the stats/ladder thread for so many seasons that my fingers don't even count that high. Especially considering when I respond to an ljp post, I usually only count fingers up to one :D

I know as a bit-part or new player, we all hop in and assume the opposition are nameful but faceless, postful but pointless, NPC to dissassemble during a match thread and then a match day. But here is the best example of why that's completely wrong. ljp's contribution generates as much passion in me for the league and even for my team, as every appearance he makes takes for me a form living evidence that this is a community that people actually enjoy - and that there is some kind of point to it all.

And it just so happened that the stars aligned to have game 600 for the enduring champ be versus the Roys at a time I'm thrust into leadership here - sensational stuff!

I really wanted to put myself into the team this week and get lined up against him. I still might, however the way the selection process is going, I might not select myself at all. (Firstly I am very bad but secondly we have had a fairly strong turnout each week and I don't want to shaft anyone).

But back to ljp86. Seriously, congratulations on this milestone. I sincerely wish you a great game. I hope the Roys win, but perhaps it can be done via a way that ljp plays awesome but everyone else at the Shag... err Dragons ... plays so bad that we still manage to win.

Happy 600th. Ljp86

Sorry for absence everyone :)

Currently in Italy training and will be competing in the world cup this Friday and Sunday (Friday individuals, Sunday teams).

Been a great trip so far and got to fence the current world champion in a bout in a pre lead in competition so it has been eye opening.

You're also a champ. Sorry to talk about someone else for a minute. Ahahaha that's awesome news Bonz ! All the best over there!

I'm trying to pick a team based on both contributions AND onfield perf and you've been playing really well, so you're gonna have to fake an injury or something. But the sacrifice is appreciated and I'll take it on board!
