Greetings everyone, trust you’re enjoying the evening. Well allow me to fix that, as we now turn our attention to one of the more awkward moments of beez night. That’s right punters, it’s the seventh running of the Le Grille-gym4life Award.
Far from being a steroid-filled French BBQ, the Le Grille-gym4life Award is something that NaturalDisaster conceived in a fever dream back in season 27 by recognising the desperate and dateless among us. If you’ve ever been the last one picked in a schoolyard team despite saying “Pick me! I’m over here!” over and over again to the team captains, then this award will hit close to home.
As the eligibility criteria more accurately states, it's the award for people to both have a match thread posting average at least 25 per week and have received zero points from the beez voting community. It's named after two SFA posters of yore who were experts at talking into the void – Le Grille who went voteless in season 23 despite averaging more than 100 posts a week and gym4life who had zero votes in season 26 despite having an active season.
The inaugural winner was cooney in season 27, nobody was eligible in season 28, nobody gave a crap about it in season 29, Matt_352 won in season 30, Cap saluted in season 31, season 32 was all about Rioli8217, Gumby time travelling feline CatToTheFuture took home the chocolates in season 33 and Soggy2112 saluted the judges last season.
This is all well and good, but surely there's something in it for the winners apart from niche online infamy? Well sure there is, it wouldn't be a shonky online award without a shonky online trophy. And the winner of the Le Grille-gym4life Award picks up an absolute doozy - The Golden Shittruck!
Four people met the eligibility criteria this season which is up one from last season but well short of the nine a couple of seasons previous. Before I get to them though I’ll give a shout out to the five people that in many ways represents the next generation of sh*tposters. Landing between the arbitrarily-positioned active poster threshold of 20 posts per week and the equally arbitrarily-positioned eligibility entry point for this here award were three rookies and two not so rookies - SaintsSeptember (23.69), Power Raid (23.25), Cubs2Lions (22.88), rappin’ RonnieRaven (20.88) and @kennyswarriors (20.56). Well done, looking forward to seeing what you bring next season.
Now to the podium. In moral third place but actual fourth place on 27.19 posts per week is the Bob Dylanesqe medieval troubadour from Las Vegas in Electronic_Renaissance.
Third place in actuality goes to someone who had the good sense to exit stage right before the horrors of a premiership befell them, it’s Old Boy Over The Post with 27.62 PPW. Saying that though, third place is daylight as the top two were north of 50 PPW.
In second place - some would say the first loser but there's no actual winners here let's be honest – is another Bear who is no stranger to copping the wrong end of the stick given he’s a former Big Spoon winner for most free kicks conceded in a season, it’s the minimally-named Cap on 52.94 PPW. Close but no shittruck.
And so to the winner. With 54.81 unrequited posts per week and hailing from the leadership group of the Baghdad Bombers, the season 35 Le Grille-gym4life Award is none other than kickthething! Mazel tov buddy, here's your miniature novelty Golden Shittruck trophy!

Literally when will people learn?Season Highlights:
- Watch this space
By Headless
League darling and crowd favourite Hate again treated Sweet to a season of posting excellence. After finishing a career-high 2nd in Season 34, Hate only reinforced their contribution to the league this season, notching up another top-five finish in the Sweet FA Players' Association MVP - beez Trophy.
In Season 35, Hate was once again a match thread mainstay, averaging more than 35 posts per match thread of pure wit, qooty lore, and Sweet-related banter. Hate is truly an asset to each and every match thread - even those that only feature a Hate OP. Of course, Hate once again stepped up to the plate in that regard this season, putting together match thread OPs such as this one at short notice.
Although we didn't see quite as much Hate investigative journalism this season - probably because it tends to be consistently under-appreciated by voters - Hate still made a mark on the media landscape (see here), and was looking out for the community in true Hate style (see here). Hate also kept us entertained with running updates on okeydoke7's progress toward the 1,000 goal milestone on Sweet FA+.
Sweet FA+, of course, continued to develop through Season 35, with many new updates and features. It remains, in my correct view, the single biggest contribution to this community since Mobbs actually created the place. Being able to casually peruse the resource and find what you're looking for (amongst many other interesting rabbit holes) is such a huge convenience. It's easy to forget what life in Sweet was like before Sweet FA+ existed, but we shouldn't forget how much value Hate has provided this place time and time again.
Congratulations, Hate, on yet another spectacular season contributing to the fabric of the Sweet FA. Here's hoping the voting public votes properly next season to suitably reward your efforts.

If only somebody close to him gave him votes...Baghdad nearly escaped with nothing, * you kickthething !
To be fair, we had about 20 people to save, kickthething had to be the sacrificial lamb when we ran out of votes.If only somebody close to him gave him votes...
Hang on, let me double check the maths...The quoted posting stats in the award are highly dubious. Nevertheless, well done.
Just another line to the CV, mate.Holy Jesus I’ve won the beez!

Couple of legends on the tools here, thank you Kennedy Parker & manangatangSeason Highlights:
- Waking up, looking in the mirror and remembering he is TheInjuryFactory
By manangatang (and a little bit by me)
TheInjuryFactory even in self-proclaimed 'semi-retirement' is polling more votes in a single season than most would see in an entire SFA career. He breezes past Kennedy Parker into second place on the all-time Beez total votes tally.
What do you call a guy who delivers consistently excellent standards of media content and posting across a long range of consecutive seasons? A guy who brings these standards to his match thread posting as well?
A guy who shares his skillset of visual design and media content ideas to other posters in the league, in the hope of lifting quality standards for the enjoyment of all?
Well, around these parts, we call such a person TheInjuryFactory.
His well-deserved fourth-place finish in Season 35 comes off the back of a number of engaging media threads, including his Power Rankings, Three Things I Learnt This Week (S35 edition) and his self-fluffing TheMediaFactory thread.
He’s a treasure around these parts and we look forward to the next chapter of TiF ‘house of media’ content in seasons ahead. Congratulations!
