The Bondi Beach Buccaneers are a professional American football franchise based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The Buccaneers currently compete in the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL) as a member club of the league's Simulation Football Conference South (DSFL South) which currently only has one division. The franchise was originally established as the "Chicago Blues" in 2018 (S3) by jiggly_333 and it would go through several rebrands including the Palm Beach Solar Bears in 2020 (S5) by Booter, before rebranding to the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers and finally the last relocation established them in Bondi Beach.
Contents
History
S3
The franchise was originally founded in the 2018 season by Jiggly as the Chicago Blues. In the first year of the DSFL, the Blues would finish with a league best 10-4 season by closing off a 5 game win streak. On the offensive side the Blues would lead the league in passing offense with 228.6 yards per game. They also finished 3rd in the league for points score per game at 17.4. QB Mark Strike led the team in passing with 3194 passing yards with 11 TD's to 21 INT's. WR Wizard Stephan led the team in receiving with 66 receptions to go with 952 yards and 4 receiving TD's. On the defensive side, the Blues were the epitome of a bend but don't break team. The defense only allowed 16 points per game, effectively being the 2nd best in the league, while the rest of the stats like rushing, passing, and total yards allowed were all last in the league.
In the playoffs, the Blues lost to the Seawolves 14-24 after giving them a 17 point lead and 3 turnovers. It effectively changed the mindset of the team and would seep into the locker room...
S4
Season 4 for the Blues would be marked as a forgettable one as they would finish the season 5-9 including a 4 game losing streak. For the offense, Chicago would finish middle of the league in terms of points per game with 17.5 and total yards a game with 300.7. The Blues were also 2nd in the league with 245 passing yards a game, certainly a lone bright side of the team with how the team finished. QB Mark Strike would again lead the team in passing with 3341 passing yards and this time with 16 TD's and 17 INT's, leading to more of an efficient season for him. WR Wizard Stephan again led the team in receiving with 70 receptions, 1015 yards, and 4 TD's to show off a minor improvement for himself. For the defense, it was a phase to forget as they were dead last in the league in nearly all phases except for passing. They allowed 19 points with 323 total yards and 116.7 rushing yards per game. On the passing defense they were in the middle of the pack with 206.3 yards per game allowed.
With Jiggly moving on, the Blues would be disbanded and be under new management. But there were dark times ahead...
Rebranding and S5-S14 (The Bot Years)
The franchise went through a rebrand in the 2020 season by coach Booter as the Palm Beach Solar Bears. They got off to an incredible start under coach Booter, going 8-5-1 and winning the Ultimini in their first season (S5) 17-13 against the Portland Pythons with an all bot team. Unfortunately, this instant success was more a flash in the pan than anything as the team went on to win 31 games in the next 9 seasons, an average of a little over 3 wins a season.
S15
In the 15th season, the Solar Bears had enough players to be able to be a non-bot team. From there, they would actually be a somewhat successful team. They would finish at 7-6-1, which would land them the 2nd seed in the playoffs. For the Solar Bears offense, it would actually perform at a solid level by being 3rd overall in the league. They would be able to score almost 21 points a game with 360 total yards of offense a game. As for the rushing and passing offense, they would accumulate 196 rushing yards per game and 164 passing yards a game, which ranked 2nd and 3rd in the league respectively. On the defensive side, they did not perform as well as their counterpart. They were 5th overall in the league with over 22 points allowed per game and a league worst 351 yards allowed per game.
As the 2nd seed, they would upset the Tijuana Luchadores 34-23 by jumping to a 17-0 lead in the 1st quarter. They would then blow out the Portland Pythons 37-17 to claim their second Ultimini. With the second Ultimini in their belt, it looked like they were finally going to be able to be a consistent franchise. Unfortunately, that would not be the case.
S16 (Bot Year)
The Solar Bears were unable to keep most of there players and sadly had to be a bot team once again. This sustained lack of players caused the General Managers to vacate their positions in the middle of the 2032 season. Two of the only players that seemed to care stepped up at this time and chose to be the leaders of this franchise when their own management could not.
Rebrand (Myrtle Beach)
After the demoralizing experience of having their old management walk out on them, the new Frost and scorycory felt that a relocation and rebrand would be the best thing for the team. They swapped beaches and went to the opposite side of the country to Myrtle Beach and went from the Solar Bears to the Buccaneers. Their colors switched from orange and purple to green and purple in the process and a new team was formed. They had a new state of the art facility built and dubbed it The Brig.
S18
The first season in Myrtle Beach did not go very well as the team went 2-12, including a 10-game losing streak. However there was a renewed vigor and life to the team with a rebrand and an actual future for the team. The offense was league worst in almost every category, including only scoring 14 points per game. QB Deondre Thomas-Fox passed for 2441 yards and 13 TD's to go with 15 INT's. WR Sweet James-Jones had 70 receptions to 956 yards and 6 TD's. As for the defense, it was the same story as they led the league in almost every major statistic except pass defense. With the worst season in actual Myrtle Beach/Palm Beach/Chicago Blues history, they could not go anywhere but up.
S19
In Season 19, Frost and scorycory would make a complete turnaround for Myrtle Beach. They would finish 2nd in the division at 10-4 including an undefeated record at home. Both phases of the Buccaneers would make vast improvements. On the offensive side, Myrtle Beach would average over a league-leading 27 points a game, almost 2 more TD's per game from the previous season. They would also average almost 395 total yards of offense which led the league as well. QB Brock Phoenix would pass for 2679 yards with 12 TD's to go with 13 INT's. As for rushing, the Buccaneers had a duo RB system, Siddhu Sarvepally rushed for 1396 yards with 9 TD's and Ricardo Rose rushed for 1237 yards to go with 16 TD's. On the defensive side, the Buccaneers were 2nd in the league overall by allowing only 16 points per game. They would also lead the league in the least amount of passing yards allowed with 134.5 per game.
Myrtle Beach would lose to Tijuana in the conference championship game 17-27. They would go scoreless in the second half and accumulate just a little over 300 yards of offense. With the loss, the team would head back home from Mexico and look onto next season where they would do even better.
S20
The Buccaneers team in Season 20 was one of the most memorable in different aspects. They would finish 12-2, which tied first in the league. Myrtle Beach would also go undefeated at home, going back to back seasons doing so. On the offensive side of the ball, the Buccaneers would have the 2nd ranked offense in the league with a little over 20 points scored and 354.5 total yards per game. The rushing offense would be league best at over 218 rushing yards per game. Rookie QB Chris Ramos would pass for 1899 yards with 13 TD's to go with 14 INT's. Siddhu Sarvepally would take his game to the next level by rushing for over 1600 yards on 302 attempts and 10 TD's. As for the defense, the Buccaneers took it up another notch, by only allowing just under 9 points per game with 10 of those games being 7 points or less. They also only allowed 268 yards of offense per game as well.
In the playoffs, Myrtle Beach's matchup with the Norfolk Seawolves was anything but close. The final score to the game was 43-10, including 24 points for the Buccaneers in the 4th quarter. RB Jacoby Batista had 73 yards of rushing to go along with 2 TD's. With the win against the Seawolves, they would clinch the conference championship and face the Minnesota Grey Ducks in the Ultimini. Unfortunately, that would be where their season ended. Minnesota would destroy the Buccaneers 28-3. They held the Bucs to only 268 yards of total offense, which was substantially less than what they normally had in the regular season. There were also 2 costly turnovers that could have changed momentum of the game.
With the Buccaneers not reaching the Ultimini a second season in a row, and also including expansion on the horizon next season, it would seem that the window to getting an Ultimini with this team would be getting smaller and smaller. They head back to Myrtle Beach and would contemplate the best way to reach that trophy.
S21
With expansion now here, it would be that much more difficult to win an Ultimini. For Myrtle Beach, if any time was time to win the Ultimini, this was it. In Season 21 the Bucs would finish the year 9-5 with them clinching the first seed in the SFC South. As far as how the team performed statistically, the offense and defense were in the middle of the pack as far as points were concerned. (21.5 scored per game, and 19.6 allowed per game respectively.) They did lead the league in rushing with 214 yards per game, and also led the league in stopping the run with only allowing 159.4 yards per game. Chris Ramos would throw for 1703 yards with 12 TD's to 10 INT's. RB Dax Frost would lead the league in rushing by accumulating 1592 rushing yards on 327 carries to go with 12 TD's.
In the conference championship, it would be a rematch of the Norfolk and Myrtle Beach matchup from last season. However, the motto different year, same result would go into effect. The Bucs would win 18-0 on K/P Kal Solarin's 4 FG's. Norfolk had no answer for the Bucs defense as they only mustered up a measly 195 yards of total offense. With the win for the Bucs, this was there final shot at an Ultimini. They would finally deliver on that promise as they would beat the Kansas City Coyotes 27-10. The Bucs defense was able to hold the Coyotes down by shutting them out in the 2nd half. Chris Ramos passed for 173 yards with 1 TD and he also rushed for 75 yards including a rushing TD.
With the Buccaneers finally winning the Ultimini, Frost would hand the reigns over to scorycory and let someone else take over. How would the Bucs fare in the next few seasons though?
S22
With Frost's departure, Jeffie43 would take over as co-GM for the Buccaneers. As expected though, the team success dropped down a bit. They finished with a respectable 7-7 record, however they tied for last in the division. Statistically they played better than what the record suggested. On the offensive side they would score 21.6 points per game, which was 3rd in the league. They also led the league in rushing with 218.4 yards per game, however they were last in the league in passing with only 138.3 yards per game. Chris Ramos passed for 1936 yards and ended up with 17 TD's to 13 INT's. The Bucs incorporated a dual RB system like they did in Season 19, with RB Nicholas Ayers who rushed for 1348 yards to go with 7 TD's and RB 3 Jeffrey who rushed for 1265 yards and 4 rushing TD's. The defense also finished 2nd in the league with only allowing 15.5 points per game. Myrtle Beach was either 1st or 2nd in every major category on defense including total yards allowed, rushing yards allowed, and passing yards allowed. However the team would go 2-7 in one possession games which hurt the chances to make it to the playoffs.
Interestingly, Jeffie43 would be in a scandal, as HO discovered evidence that included but was not limited to screenshots from PMs between different parties and discussions in a DSFL war room. The evidence clearly showed that Jeffie43 tampered Garfield Despacito Jr., telling him to retire so that Norfolk couldn’t have his IA player and to create a player that would then join them in Myrtle Beach. He would then be stripped of his GM role and have a 2-season GM ban as well as a $2M fine, and Thor was hired shortly after. And with that, they would look on to Season 23.
