Hey guys and gals,
We’re desperately trying to get the new website up and running but as more time goes past, the less likely it’s looking that we’ll be up in time to have a long season.
We’ve been working on some MASSIVE backend and frontend changes. This will not only improve the way the game works, but also help us in producing multi-platform sports and stock related games much easier. Obviously we can’t reveal too much at this time, but you should be noticing some new things from us in the upcoming months.
We realise a lot of you wouldn’t really be happy about this, but please keep in mind that all of us at FootySX have jobs outside of the website. We don’t make any cash from FootySX at the moment and run it purely because we love it.
We’ll keep you all posted through our
Facebook and
Twitter pages for any more updates

Good old Collingwood forever!

The 2010 season saw players rise up from almost nowhere. Fremantle’s Michael Barlow, Brisbane’s Tom Rockliff and Essendon’s Ben Howlett all made massive gains and stamped themselves as regular starters for their respective clubs as they all consistently performed through the year. The flops for the season were Brisbane’s troublesome star Brendan Fevola, Melbourne’s Paul Johnson and Richmond’s inconsistent high draft pick Richard Tambling. Those players will look to have much more of an impact in the 2011 premiership season.
It is no surprise the premiers for the 2010 season were the biggest gainers. Collingwood’s share price increased by over 35% for the year as they marched towards their 15th premiership flag. Other notable gainers were Fremantle and Sydney who were teams not considered to feature in the finals at the start of the year. The biggest losers for the season were Brisbane, Adelaide and St Kilda. All clubs were touted to feature heavily in September but their failure saw their share price drop by 15%.
We would like to congratulate the top 3 money earners Cosmo Kramer, Jimmy7085 and Sydney Blue who take home a total of $1000 in cash prizes! We would also like to thank all of our members for your support throughout the 2010 season and look to forward to seeing you all back for a bigger and better 2011.
What a Grand Final! The best part of it all is that we have to do it all over again next week!

Collingwood and St Kilda players, just as the result, shared the spoils in the biggest gainers and losers for the round.
