Luc Richard to Leave AFFL: Greg Watson to Rejoin and Take Over Team

The AFFL is facing an unexpected transition as Luc Richard, a long-standing and respected member, has announced his decision to step down from the league. Luc, who joined us in 2010 and secured championship titles in 2017 and 2022, has cited personal issues as the reason for his departure.

Luc’s decision, coming just 13 hours before the auction, has undoubtedly sent shockwaves through our community. His contributions to the league, both on and off the field, have been significant. As a two-time champion and Deputy Commissioner, Luc has been instrumental in shaping the AFFL’s identity, making his departure a major loss for us all.

Welcoming Back Greg Watson

In the midst of this transition, we are pleased to announce that Greg Watson will be returning to the AFFL to take over Luc’s team. Greg is not only a familiar face but a cornerstone of the league’s history. He was part of the AFFL from its inaugural season, winning the very first championship. Greg remained an active and competitive manager until he left after the 2019 season.

Greg’s return is a significant and welcome development. His deep understanding of the league and his past success make him an ideal candidate to step in and continue the legacy that Luc has built. We are confident that Greg will seamlessly reintegrate and bring his competitive edge back to the AFFL.

Looking Forward

With Luc’s participation in the auction, followed by Greg taking over the team, we anticipate a smooth transition. The return of a founding member and former champion like Greg Watson is not just reassuring but also exciting for everyone involved.

As we move forward, we remain committed to upholding the competitive integrity and camaraderie that define the AFFL. While Luc’s departure marks the end of an era, Greg’s return signals a new chapter filled with promise and renewed energy.

We will keep everyone updated on any further developments. For now, let’s focus on the auction and the exciting season ahead. Luc’s legacy in the AFFL will remain strong, and we wish him nothing but the best as he steps away from the league. At the same time, we eagerly welcome Greg back into the fold and look forward to seeing him in action once again.

Welcome to the AFFL, Bélanger Brothers and Geoff Bourgeault!

The AFFL is thrilled to extend a warm welcome to our two newest members, Christian and André Bélanger, as well as a welcome back to a familiar face, Geoff Bourgeault! As we continue to grow and strengthen our league, it’s always exciting to bring in new talent, fresh energy, and the return of experienced players.

Meet Christian Bélanger

Christian Bélanger

Christian hails from Rockland, a place we might have a few too many connections to, given his friendships with our long-time member Roger and our more recent addition, Jean, who joined the league in 2021. But don’t worry, we won’t hold that against him! Christian is a passionate Chiefs fan, and he steps in to fill the spot previously held by Trevor, who claimed the AFFL Championship in 2023. Those are big shoes to fill, but we’re confident that Christian will bring his own unique style and strategy to the league. We’re eager to see how Christian will contribute to the competitive spirit that defines the AFFL.

Meet André Bélanger

André Bélanger

André, who calls Kingston home, is a proud fan of the Titans. Interestingly, he’s taking over from Vedran, another Titans fan, keeping the tradition alive in our league. With his strategic mind and dedication to his favorite franchise, André is sure to bring a competitive edge to the AFFL. We look forward to seeing how he’ll make his mark and carry on the Titans legacy within our community.

Welcome Back, Geoff Bourgeault

Geoff Bourgeault

We are also delighted to announce the return of Geoff Bourgeault to the AFFL! Geoff left the league on excellent terms in 2021, and his presence has been missed ever since. Now, he’s back to replace Neil, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Geoff isn’t just a familiar face; he’s a proven competitor, having been crowned the AFFL Champion in 2016 and finishing as the runner-up in 2017. A dedicated Seahawks fan residing in Toronto, Geoff’s experience and passion for the game will undoubtedly enrich our league, and we’re excited to see him back in action.

Welcome Sully to the AFFL

Sully

We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our league, Brandon Sullivan, affectionately known as Sully! Sully joins us from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, bringing with him a deep passion for football and a wealth of experience in the world of fantasy sports.

Sully's journey to our league has been years in the making, as he has spent the last five years immersing himself in the intricacies of our particular format. His dedication and enthusiasm for the game are evident, and we are excited to welcome someone with such a strong foundation in fantasy sports to our community.

Sully's arrival comes as a result of the recent departure of David Kossatz, who made the decision to step down from his role as manager on January 2nd, 2024. While we are saddened by David's departure, we are grateful for his contributions to the league and wish him the best in his future endeavors.

As we usher in this new chapter with Sully, we invite all members of the league to extend a warm welcome to him. Let's embrace Sully's passion for football and continue to make the AFFL a place where fantasy sports thrive.

Welcome to the league, Sully! We're thrilled to have you on board.

It is with regret that we announce the departure of four esteemed members, which unfortunately occurred amidst discord within our league. Vedran Radojevic (2K), David Kossatz (Fields of Dreams), Trevor Oliviera (Gibb Me a Break), and Neil Norton (Urine Trouble) have decided to step down from their roles as managers under strained circumstances.

While this departure has brought about a sense of upheaval, we want to acknowledge the contributions these individuals have made to the AFFL. Each of them has brought unique skills and strategies, enriching our league experience. Despite the recent discord, we recognize and appreciate their past dedication and sportsmanship.
