Every season, the best of the best are honoured as the All-SFA team. Each club has been asked to submit 5 players to the Committee for consideration, this season with no conditions regarding positional requirements. From this, I chose a provisional team and asked for logical argument. The selections were based on a 50% playing/50% posting assessment.What has followed has been 35 pages of discussion, spreadsheets and a little argument, culminating in a team that was pretty close to my original.

There are some surprises, departures from convention and controversial inclusions, but I feel that the final team is truly representative of the best 20 players of Season 28.

Not sure if you’re giving yourself a pat on the back or whether you’re just so egotistical that you couldn’t take on board others feedback...

You forgot massive melting about the 31st best midfielder not getting included....

The full-back line. The domain of unselfish captains, whose only thought was the advancement of their team, and the lure of All-SFA selection… There were only 10 defenders nominated for All-SFA eligibility this season, so positions were tight, but these three erstwhile gentlemen not only stopped their opponents regularly, but gave rebound and leadership.

Agent93
– The East Side Hawks’ skipper amassed over 230 disposals and averaged over 50 DT points, playing 14 games off a half-back flank. Unfortunate to be shunted to a pocket, this is his third consecutive All-SFA gong.

Barrybran – The second All-SFA team for the Gumbies captain, who probably played most of the season in the backlines when he wasn’t suspended (if I could only decipher those teamsheets!). Baz had 200 disposals at a DT avg nearing 53, and was an omnipresent force on the Sweet FA board. Barrybran has been named as captain of this season’s team, in recognition of his leadership and contributions around the board.

Dingster – Who can believe that this is only Dingster’s second All-SFA honour? Playing the entire season at left half-back, Dingster collected 196 possessions, and ran a successful racket selling candy. Add to this a match thread posting average over 50, and this becomes a truly deserved selection.

I stopped at “unselfish captains”.

Captain Barrybran congrats.

Can't wait to see the All Sweet F.A. team in Binary.
 
While I don't necessarily disagree with the call, it's quite funny that Baz is captain despite the suspensions and punishments he has received this season.

What a shit captain.

The run-and carry of the team, the half-back line had a number of contenders, but with the surplus of midfielders in the field of nominees, it was decided to push a couple of midfielders who deserved to make the team but had below-average stats for their position out to the flanks.

The Filth Wizard
– A record-extending 11th All-SFA honour for league giant The Filth Wizard – it is a record that will take many years to overtake. Playing as ruck-rover for the Royals, Filthy amassed 265 disposals, with 17 goals with a DT average of over 70, and was one of the most consistent Royals posters, with a huge impact across the board.

Mobbs – The sole defender on the half-back line, our creator Mobbs takes home his third consecutive Guernsey, and 5th overall, after debuting in the S11 team. The old man played CHB all season, barring a couple of games collecting splinters, and still collected 188 possessions, as well as sharing his “wit and experience” with anyone who could not escape fast enough.

TheInjuryFactory – The vice-captain of this season’s team, Warriors captain TheInjuryFactory became a major player in Sweet this season. His stats of 260 disposals with a DT average of 68 were uninspiring; his leadership, initiative and presence around the league were inspirational, and he has all the hallmarks of a future administrator of the league. This is TIF’s second All-SFA jumper, and will either go straight to the pool room or be auctioned on eBay.
