So here we are at the end of season 41 and the end of my players DSFL career. Which was an amazing two seasons spent in Bondi Beach. So since I wanna take advantage of the media bonus these are gonna be some of my favorite memories from the past few months spent in the league.
We start with the dsfl draft which for the S41 rookies was an interesting day I was actually at work trying to watch but things did not go well for the stream from the youtube being banned to no one knowing how to use twitch I guess. Needless to say many of us didn't get to see our players get picked and our GMs say nice things about us for the first and last times. But I did get picked 17th overall going to the previous seasons last place team the Bondi Beach Buccaneers. I was very excited about it though me and Thor really hit it off in scouting and they had already drafted the best user in the draft so things were looking up for BBB.
Season one started out pretty slow with two straight losses which wasn't the coolest way to start a career but everyone said not to worry about it things are just getting started and should get better so I stayed involved and excited which was a good idea. We ended up winning the next five games which was a real fun stretch and won four of the last seven games to finish with the second best record in the league at 9-5. Our first playoff task was heading to Norfolk to face the Seawolves a team that had already beat us twice this season. (Shout out to TheRake who hung out with me in voice chat while our teams played.) Undeterred we came out with the win and were heading to the Ultimini. In the Mini we faced off with Portland who along with BBB before the season were set to be axed but the S41 draft class saved the day. The game itself was a crazy one where once again I had to watch from work on my 10ish minute break lucky for me I run the show at night so no one could question me cause I wasn't gonna miss it for anything. So sitting in my stores tiny break room I saw my Bucs come out and fall flat on their faces going down 21-3 going into the half. I wasn't gonna give up yet though and kept watching and Im glad I did cause in the second half we came out on fire scoring 3 straight touchdowns and allowing no points in the second half to win the game 24-21. It was such a cool feeling winning a silly dot football championship game with the people I has started to become friends with. Also was cool my player Rolund was defensive player of the game in the Ultimini.
The off season brought scouting which was a cool experience I got to talk to a bunch of GMs(not the ones who ended up drafting me) and scouts from all but one of the ISFL teams(not bitter about that).This time I was smart and requested the day off so I could get the full experience of my first ISFL draft. This time I ended up being drafted 18th overall going to the team I think has the best name the Cape Town Crash. I was super stoked because CTC was one of the teams I really want to go to they were coming off a playoff run had the MVP of the league and everyone I had talked to from there was super cool. Plus my current DSFL GM was already on CTC so at least I already knew there was one person I liked in the locker room.
My second season in the DSFL was a bit different. Bondi Beach had their offense gutted in the off season to call ups so things were always gonna be a bit rough. We started the season 0-5 and some of the games just didn't not look good but we stuck it out and out rookies did a good job continuing to earn and get better. Our new rookie QB really put in the effort so a special shout out to @Aleris for doing the most to get his player going. We actually won the next four games even beating Tijuana who up until that game was looking unbeatable. We would only win 2 of our last 5 finishing 6-8 but it was good enough to get us into the playoff setting up another game with Tijuana. This game start out well for us with us going up 9-0 but after that the BBB offense couldn't get anything going and the defense couldn't stop anything. We ended up losing 24-9 but it was a fun game and no one even expected us to make the playoffs much less not finish in last place. The Luchadores did go on to win a very crazy Ultimini so if we had to lose at least we lost to the champs. One of the bright spots away from BBB was my future team the Crash having the best record in the league and winning the Ultimus. I cant wait to join the team which is strong and getting stronger every week. If you watch a CTC game and don't end up Horned up what's wrong with you.
In the end this last few months in the league has been such and awesome time, from hours just watching dots run around and sometimes just do the dumbest things on screen to the 1000s of conversations going on on discord all day long. Discord has been such a great time also connecting from people all over the world talking about everything from out dots football to videos games, board games, food and wrestling. So many cool people out there making this an amazing community and just a great place to hang out in everyday. Just wanna say thank you to all my GMS @Akoustique @aeonsjenni @negs @lordcoolcats and to an exGM @Thor. Also a special thank you to whoever posted that thread on Reddit my life has not been the same since.
