The winning photo of each month usually gets posted onto the front page of afda.com.
I say usually because occasionally, a more risque-shall-we-say photo gets posted (such as the famous [not very safe for work folks] nipple-medalion-gate scandal** of a few years ago) and of course, Ultimate players are very juvenile and will vote for that kind of stuff (we're looking at you Mathew "Happy Birthday" Eastburn).
Now, at the moment afda.com is the front page to our sport, so alas it's a little bit editorial about the photos that get on the front page.
And rightly so, there's other more appropriate places for such photos ...
...like the Brisbane Ultimate Blog!
So here's this month's winner, posted in solidarity with the SAM* nudists.
There's plenty of entertainment in following certain players' lines of sight there. Remember that I've heard on the grapevine that the guys you can see wearing shirts have mostly taken their pants off. And insert obligatory 'shrinkage' jokes there too.I'm sure plenty of you will be over there this month putting you vote in for 'mazing Mike's aerial antics.
*Some of you might know a S.A.M. as a Surface to Air Missile (and if you do, that's kind of amusing). But others might know S.A.M. as South Australian Men.
**I mean this in the most happy-fun sense! :)

The guy in the back with only a hat on look like he's enjoying the crush.

so who's the chick with the medals?
Dear jdr,
Can we have some shirtless Brock, Nate, and Jules pls? I like the idea of more photos of shirtless men. Every Tuesday? They iz yummy!
Well as the winning photographer i am sorely disappointed this has been deemed to not represent Australian Ultimate. A bunch of Australian reps in the shower together, and junior Robbie Andrew looking down wondering what those little curly hairs were. Despite my disappointment I appreciate BUD's blogspot for giving it some airplay. Thanks to all those South Australians who signed up their little sister in order to get it over the line. I especially appreciate the vote from new AFDA member Bootie Spank.
If you want to have shirtless Brock, Nate and Jules, surely we can show some topless women from ultimate as well. Can we please see Sarah Sandford and Bree. Objectification for all!
While I appreciate the effort that the South Australians went to to push this photo across the line, it's a headache for the AFDA site admins when fake members are being created. We have enough trouble with spam memberships from Russian and Cypriot spambots without the extra hassle of dealing with those created by our own members.
It would be annoying to have to lock down the Add Member function just because of Botie Spank and Cool Hand.
Add image verification?
It's a pretty quick fix, expecially considering there are tutorials up so that you can script kiddy it. It will stop spam bots.
