Kilroy and Jabba73 are far too competent operators to be Bombers Captains. They are not the incompetent nincompoops and uncultured bufoons that are the key pre-requisites of being a Bomber skipper.
#9 - Baghdad Bombers
The wait is over BLUEALLTHRU, rest easy my friend. Next up that means of course that we have the sliding Baghdad Bombers, who have dropped a slot back to 9th in the TiFmedia Power Rankings for Season 36 as another club undergoing somewhat of a rebuild. With brash skippers BLUEALLTHRU & VeinGlorious handing over the reigns to Bombers stalwart and consummate clubman Pugsley, the people's pug looks set to usher in a new era at Abdu Prison.
Season 35 saw a mass exodus out of Baghdad as S34 Deestroy Medallist Ligma and her Simp Daddy Robertio left for the greener pastures of the newly commissioned Spostwood Oval, while reliable clubman Bovo and emerging leader CursingFijian also left for the Furies & Warriors respectively, with very little coming back the other way. But the Bombers consolidated, and saw some improvement from within with eventual Fred Medallist gab213 and Sun Ra stepping up play expanded roles within the club, as star veterans VeinGlorious & KohPhi were reduced to the odd cameo at best.
Time will tell as to whether they can recapture their once overwhelming dominance of the Sweet FA narrative and relative psyche of the league, but for the most part their Qooty has done all the talking in recent seasons as they will once again be relying on a quality season on field to arrest their slide down the TiFmedia Power Rankings.

So as we touched on, the Bombers have leaked a fair amount of activity and quality contribution out the Abdu Prison gates without a whole lot coming back their way, but in the S36 pre season they managed to snag a surprisingly quality pick up in Sin City's Grav, who had all the hallmarks of a future leader down at the Underground Stadium after returning to the Swampies after an eight season sabbatical. One can only assume the powerbrokers at Sin City will be howling once they lower their mirrors and realise he's gone. In fact, the Bombers have come away with a marginal list net gain as a result, given they retained all active established players on their list for the first time in several seasons.
As we touched on earlier, there's also been a change of leadership over the off season, with Pugsley taking over the captaincy from an absent @Vein Glorious and our man BLUEALLTHRU for reasons largely unknown. Not much else has changed list wise worth mentioning, besides the usual revolving door of Bombers rookies who overwhelmingly amount to very little as a general rule of thumb. It's always been a numbers game at Baghdad for as long as anyone can remember, and so the glut of no name uppity types continues.
What's wrong with Jabba73 and/or Kilroy I hear you ask? No offence meant to the pug, but one would have thought the next skipper at Baghdad would have come from these two, so one can only assume their teammates just aren't big fans. Is Kilroy 's refined music taste just too niche for the Khe Sanh types? and maybe it's why they make Jabba73 do all the busy work in committee? Oh no.
Anyway...
On the field has been a happier hunting ground for the Bombres in recent seasons, and Season 35 saw them finish in 5th spot after a 9 win, 7 loss record and secure themselves a home Elimination Final. Their season was set up by a run of four straight wins to start the season off the back of their unlikely premiership in S34, and from there they would weather a 3 game losing streak of the bye to finish just a game outside of top 4 and claiming a second chance. They would eventually fall to the minor premier Warriors in the Semi Final after dispatching the Gumbies in the EF a week prior.
The highlight of the season for Baghdad however had to be the dazzling form of full forward gab213, who completed one of the most dominant Fred Medal victories in Sweet FA history, amassing a whopping 73 goals during the home and away season to secure the crown by 10 goals with some pretty significant daylight to his competitors. In fact, his dominance was so great that it was duly recognised by the admin Kennedy Parker who awarded him the TFLUA-Tiger Medal for his efforts.
They were well represented in the All-SFA side too, with outgoing skipper BLUEALLTHRU, incoming skipper Pugsley and of course gab213 all eanring blazers for their trouble in recognition of a successful season of Qooty at Abdu. A perennial Mobbs Medal performer, Pugsley managed a top 5 finish in the midfielders award proving his wares in the middle once again.
The jury is still well and truly out on what the Bombers can become in Season 36 and beyond, as the past few seasons have seen the forces of change alter the complexion of the side dramatically, and they have yet to fully recover from their losses since the abrupt end to the Tony Lynn 15 era.
Over to you Pugsley. Good boy.

Absolutely..agree KohPhi, I have always believed the more incompetent the Captain the better the clubs success chances, just look at the last few premiership captains if you need validity of that statement
Our history of numbskull skippers dates back to Shermy and ingloriously contiued with HaroLad , Tony Lynn 15, TheCoach16, myself BLUEALLTHRU and VeinGlorious
Now we have Pugsley who is tracking to be the most incompetent of us all.
Seriously, he is so slow, it took him an hour and 15 to watch '60 minutes' last week.
Our LG is so bereft of common sense, none of us could pour water out of an old boot if the instructions weren't written on the heel.
Poor Grav doesn't know what has hit him, he was speaking to gab213 about his favourite band, Fleetwood Mac and gab, God love him thought he was talking about a new McDonalds burger variety.
Not that Grav Is anything to write home about. On his application to join the Bombers, where it stated 'sex' he ticked both 'M and F' and also wrote 'and sometimes on a Thursday'.
And then theres BLUEALLTHRU .. seriously, if all the village idiots from all the villages around the world, were put into one village...he'd be the village idiot.
It's our ineptitude to follow rules, our inability to adhere to guidelines etc etc that make the Bombers so great!
This is why good, honest and intelligent operators like Jabba73 and Kilroy are are kept under lock and key, and hidden in the darkest, dingiest cells we have at Abdu Prison. Not because they are unloved, but because we, as members of the previous 'Shit Captains of our Club' committee have a tattered reputation to protect.

I think this theory is disproven by the S26 grand final result turboagree KohPhi, I have always believed the more incompetent the Captain the better the clubs success chances, just look at the last few premiership captains if you need validity of that statement
You had manangatang ‘s Demons vs NaturalDisaster ’s Furies
A greater contrasting matchup of competence vs incompetence you will not find.
If this theory holds true NDs team should win in a crushing result.
The Demons won by 87 points in a record grand final margin.

Bit harsh on Brick. Added a nice point of difference to the group. Getting to play with him again was pretty much the main reason i came back (sucked in campaigner i guess). Ranks in my top 5 players personally, but it's not my thread.
Not sure what he's doing at the Furies. Probably **** all.

#8 - Dragons FFC
Next up is Dragons FFC, up two places in the rankings and into 8th position having risen up the TiFmedia Power Rankings for Season 36 after a change of fortunes on field and the return of a former skipper saw them arrest their slide off it.
After a resurgent S35 on the field saw a mammoth change of fortune from a wooden spoon campaign the season prior, coupled with an active off season that has seen them significantly bolster their list after some decent outgoings and a real dearth of incoming talent in recent seasons, the Dragons have pulled themselves off the bottom of the TiFmedia Power Rankings and look set to consolidate in Season 36.
To the elephant in the room, and the Dragons have found themselves embroiled in a fair amount of scandal and shithousery to kick off the season. With their ins that only looks set to continue and possibly even escalate given the shenanigans afoot early. Is that a shrewd move by a club in need of a culture shift after stagnating since their post expansion fail recruiting blitz, or an ill conceived courting of danger for their club identity through an influx of nomadic shit stirrers who appear to be openly mocking the club's well worn but beloved tropes? Strap yourselves in folks, one thing's for sure the Dragons are going to be an interesting one to watch in S36 and beyond.

Well well well. What a difference a season can make.This time last season the algorithm made a scathing assessment of the Dragons' recruitment, having failed in successive seasons to lure established players across while they lost promising talent like Braklet and the enigmatic Bonz at a time when their list was in flux. It must be said that a season on, and the luring back of former skipper PhenomenalV1 definitely bore fruit, as he appears back to his best and full engaged after a significant period in the wilderness. But they really took the club down an interesting path this off season.
Prising premiership winner Greenery out of Spotswood was a strong move in isolation, and while his elevation to co-captaincy before playing a game for the club raises eyebrows, again on it's own merits it speaks to an intent to bring a new energy to the club. Deestroy Medal winner and two time premiership player Ligma joins the Dragons under a cloud after a dramatic exit from the Old Boys amidst the peak of the drama between the two clubs in the first moments of the new season, however to be fair to her, that appeared to say alot more about the Old Boys than it did about her as the Ophidians quickly turned on one of their own. And lastly a backflip on retirement sees Bears firebrand Supersuns looking like resuming hostilities with all comers after laying sufficiently low enough to escape sanction and has re-emerged after waiting for the dust storm of seasons' past to finally settle.
Skipper T2B_ has well and truly established himself now in his own right, so it's quite the head scratcher as to why he would feel the need to bring on a co-captain at this point of his leadership, and especially overlooking their existing talent in the process, but Greenery has shown himself to be a cool head when the situation calls for it, and it's fair to say there are machinations at work that leaves outsiders speculating to a fair extent.
After a disastrous S34 saw the Dragons claim the wooden spoon in T2B_'s first season of sole captaincy, they would enjoy a solid return to form in Season 35 which saw them register an 8 win, 7 loss and a draw for the home and away season and a return to the finals. An early run of form in the first half of S35 set their season up as they sat at 6-3 after 9 games, and despite enduring an ordinary run of 3 losses and a draw against the wooden spoon winning Demons late, and only going on to register another two wins for the regular season, they would hang on to qualify. But it was all rather short lived come finals, as they were comfortably bundled out of their Elimination Final against eventual Premiers and current jousting partners the Old Boys by 32 points at Spotswood.
Individually it was a mixed bag, with the highlight certainly being skipper T2B_'s selection in the All-SFA side, his third straight selection in the side. S33 EKA Medallist and current Spam FL mercenary for hire DragoDelph managed a reasonable 8th placed finish in the Mobbs Medal, while Full Forward Hatchy1992 registered a pretty mediocre result spearheading the forward line at the Lair with his 52 goals a mammoth 21 goals off Fred Medal pace with an equal 7th placed finish.
They fared pretty bloody average in the beez it must be said, with only two players inside the top 40 and a best placed finish of 34th which even surprised the algorithm.
And so for a club who were well and truly in the doldrums just a season ago, Season 36 promises to be one of exploration. As in, let's explore just how much shit we can peddle, how much drama we can court and just how much poor Pie 4 Life and Ljp86 can take.

I managed to get banned from playing for 6 weeks in the first week of the season and lose 6 premiership points for the club, Pugsley needs to lift his incompetency rate if he wants to be at the big dance with the Old Boys December
admittedly my first Captain was NaturalDisaster so I had a great role model in my formative years
Team sheets from the basement from ND. Gross leve of incompetence keeping things confidential.
Would have been inspirational, Turbo.
