Death. Taxes. The Demons being an absolute powerhouse of the competition.
These are the things from life we should expect. After the Demons' perhaps unparalleled home and away run over the last several seasons, plus a cheeky premiership, we have certainly become accustomed to the delightfully devilish winning Demon brand.
But these are uncertain times, and things aren't the same as they used to be.
Indeed, the Demons haven't been quite right recently. Sitting on top of the ladder after eight rounds with a 6-2 record, things have since gone, well, a little askew.
Round 9
Baghdad Bombers 17.8 (110) defeated Mount Buller Demons 14.10 (94)
A disappointing loss to the Bombers after a heated match thread.
Round 10
Mount Buller Demons 9.3 (57) lost to Roys FFC 12.3 (75)
A three goal defeat to the Roys at home. Back-to-back losses - strange.
Round 11
Las Vegas Bears 18.7 (115) defeated Mount Buller Demons 16.9 (105)
A close game, but a narrow loss to the Bears. The first time the Demons had lost three in a row since the very start of Season 25.
Round 12
Fighting Furies 17.11 (113) defeated Mount Buller Demons 9.11 (65)
Losing to the Furies of all teams? Well this just won't do.
Having slid from a game clear on top of the ladder to outside the top four in just a month, the Demons needed a leader. Somebody to stand up. A fearless, experienced full forward, admired and respected league-wide.
Unfortunately we only had Tarkyn_24's seven goals - we needed more. Let's take a look at the final moments of the crucial Warriors v. Demons battle on the weekend.
4 : 22.55 {FB} - Van_Dyke wants to get on with proceedings.
4 : 22.58 {FB} - Raveneyes drags Van_Dyke down beautifully.
4 : 23.02 {FF} - Raveneyes signals for his teammates to present.
4 : 23.06 {FF} - Raveneyes lines up the sticks.
4 : 23.1 {FF} - It's through.
Coney Island Warriors : 17.15.117
Mount Buller Demons : 17.16.118
A single point in it with just minutes to go.
4 : 23.12 {C} - Proper Gander wins the hitout.
4 : 23.2 {rW} - Tonga Bob with some space now.
4 : 23.24 {CHF} - Hoofs it forward..
4 : 23.27 {CHF} - Over the head of NaturalDisaster.
4 : 23.31 {CHB} - Quivorir hits the ground running.
4 : 23.35 {CHB} - No-look handpass to DemonJim.
4 : 23.39 {CHB} - He has a bounce.
4 : 23.41 {lW} - Pumps it long for amos.
4 : 23.45 {lW} - Tonga Bob drops an absolute sitter.
4 : 23.49 {C} - Dinsdale through heavy traffic.
4 : 23.53 {rW} - He elects to use Tonga Bob and kicks in that direction.
4 : 23.57 {rW} - Tonga Bob gets too far under the ball.
4 : 24 {rW} - Tonga Bob has possession.
60 seconds left, and the Warriors in possession.
4 : 24.04 {CHF} - That kick is a real floater.
4 : 24.08 {CHF} - NaturalDisaster can't mark but is able to bring the ball to ground.
4 : 24.12 {CHB} - Quivorir with all the time in the world.
4 : 24.14 {CHB} - Gets a handpass away to DemonJim.
4 : 24.18 {lW} - A flat punt.
4 : 24.22 {lW} - Anybody's ball.
4 : 24.26 {lW} - amos wants to get on with proceedings.
4 : 24.28 {C} - He elects to use Harvey Manfrenjensenden and kicks in that direction.
4 : 24.32 {C} - Dinsdale gets a timely fist to the ball.
4 : 24.37 {C} - Dinsdale has a paddock.
4 : 24.41 {rW} - Draws a man and then with hands to Tonga Bob.
4 : 24.43 {lHFF} - A worm burner to zackah.
4 : 24.47 {lHFF} - zackah can't mark but is able to bring the ball to ground.
JUST SECONDS LEFT. THE DEMONS NEED A HERO TO HOLD ON.
4 : 24.51 {rHBF} - manangatang fighting to get a clear kick.
4 : 24.55 {rW} - Hands it off to Callums_Guns.
4 : 24.57 {rW} - Callums_Guns has time to take a bounce.

SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 4

And there is our hero. Read that passage of play again. Read it a third time. Our hero is clear.
Headless.
Yes, that's right. League favourite Headless. Bloody done it again.
With the losing streak CONQUERED by a single behind, who kicked the winning behind (the previous quarter)? That's right. Bloody Headless.
My good friend Loonerty once told me that losing four in a row has a bright side - it practically guarantees a four-game winning streak the next month. So prepare yourselves, friends, for the Demons are coming, and I'm calling it right here and now: we're winning the flag.
Let the celebrations begin!
P.S. Thank you Callums_Guns for your ongoing support and for noting this extreme act of bravery. Truly an All-Sweet FA performance from an impact player.
