Resource The Sweet FA Hokey Pokey - Season 35 Edition

[Tonga Bob]

​

Hello friends and welcome back to here. I've been kicked out of the hammock so I have to look useful, so here I am looking useful.

I'm trying to figure out the off-season player movements, and given there's no dedicated thread to it this season (RIP in pieces dav) I'm knocking one up for my own benefit. It's called the hokey pokey for obvious reasons, but if you're thick it's because in the eponymous song there's things going in and out (and shook all about, but that's for another thread). Let me know if there's anyone I missed and I'll add it in here, and if the local mods want to pin this then you have my blessing. Here goes...

Club​	In​	Out​
Baghdad Bombers	VeinGlorious (unretired)	Bovo (FUR) CursingFijian (CIW) Ligma (OOB) Robertio (OOB) La Dispute/Greatest Ava/etc (pining for the fjords)

Dragons FFC	PhenomenalV1 (sick of being carny folk)	Braklet (OOB)
East Side Phoenix	Catsnlakers (GUM)	Chipmunk (retired) DERO (MBD) Dingster (LVB) jmoo wan (MBD) MWPP (LVB)

[Note that I take no responsibility for the accuracy of the above table, in my mind I'm still in my hammock. Also rookies don't count here so don't bug me to add them.]

Here's some of this season's Waggles* performing the Hokey Pokey for your entertainment.

​

*imitation Wiggles - if I call them by the other name Jeff will wake up, come to my house and roundhouse kick the sh*t out of me.

Recruitment is a piece of piss.. at last count, I have recruited 16 Bombers.

The key is to select posters that fit the club ethos. The fact that more than half of those I've recruited have been permabanned shows me that I succeeded..

Rent free..

Not sure how that's rent free when I spend exactly zero percent of my day thinking about him or any other bomber. Infact I'd say that's the exact opposite of rent free.

[Pugsley]

Already appears to be working.

What’s with the sudden turn on thewizardmelon & the Fire Chickens??

From what I am tell Wiz is doing a great job rejuvenating the club towards a new era. In the same way Pickitt & James Colorado are evolving the Furies.

Change & Evolution isn’t always a bad thing

I’m not going to read all 9 pages here. Who said I’ve done a runner?

I want to go to there.

As someone who doesn’t use the BF site for anything other than the SFA, and is not in copious amounts of other forums, recruiting (personally) is certainly not as easy a task as some may make out. Not sure who I/We have offended, but perhaps worry about your own backyards?

 

[Barrybran]

Gumbies S35 recruiting slogan:

Join The Gumbies … we are NOT The Bombers

Squad submission deadline is Friday. Tomorrow's slogan might be 'Join the Gumbies, please'

Wanna join forces? We can get rid of the bye AND have a super active team. Two birds, one stone.

Can you imagine the uproar? The #hawks jokes are finally starting to dissipate now we’ve solved our rodent issue.

Something something “no such thing as bad press” something something

Not to mention finally folding the Gumbies and ANOTHER Hawks rebrand

Call it Plan C for if we ever both want to be the talk of the town once more

Fine. I'll talk to the Dragons.

 

[Barrybran]

Hey T2B_, would you consider merging with the Phoenix?

 

[thewizardmelon]

You know…im like a back to back Dragon Spirit medal winner fyi. Could be merit to this…

If you think the Hawks jokes are finishing, you are being extremely optimistic.

How about we just fold the Phoenix and split up the dozen remaining actives on their list with a draft? One fire chicken per team.

1. MP
2. Wiz
3. Jmoo
4. Porps
5. Dero
6. Ethdog
7. JTG
8. IMS
9. ...
10. ...
11. ...
12. ...

Umm, let's just hope we don't get the last four picks.
