Official Team Thread Mount Buller Demons | Season 28 Team Thread | Congrats Callums_Guns and Proper Gander!

I had a poor year.

I blame Headless, especially that game where I had 11 tackles and almost 20 touches and 2-3 goals just after half time and was taken off for pretty much the rest of the game!

I was going to get 3 votes for sure that game!

Headless cost me a Deestroy!

S29 is the YEAR OF REDEMPTION AGAIN!

S29 is the YEAR OF REDEMPTION AGAIN!

I've had a few of those years myself.

No redemption completed.

But go Mt Buller!

Congrats Callums_Guns and Proper Gander, very well deserved.

Massive thanks to another great season lads, and thanks for the honour of the best defender manangatang, despite me playing down there basically every season bar three, this is my first one of these (I blame Smartys Power for this).

here’s to another great season in the new year

Yes. I am present.

No way. I think we should just get the major awards out of the way before Headless notices the event

No. I am present.

Yoohoo! Headless

Nah. He’s not here. Let’s go!

No. I am present.

Welcome to the most prestigious night on the Mt. Buller social card – Deestroy Medal Night.

And what a season we have to celebrate. Another filled with great banter, fun and success.

Of love, laughs, organ removal and laughter about missing organs.

While the braised black rhinoceros carpaccio canapes are being served, sit back, relax and cast your eyes over this team photo we took earlier in Season 28.

Every single member of the Season 28 Mount Buller Demons squad is represented in this bad boy…

Fantastic.

P.S. Georgia was a good choice. Garamond would have been ever better if possible.

Our rookie crop this year consisted of three posters – the much-feted Adroyo, sausageroll and a young Hawks supporting whippersnapper - moginie.

While Adroyo lit up the boards throughout the season and sausageroll continued his ongoing plight for the EKA, the award must go to the well-rounded Mt. Buller Man, moginie. I’ve enjoyed his posting in match threads and particularly noted his love of fine food and music.

His work on the field from the Half Forward Flank has been mighty impressive, and he’s a very deserving winner of this award for Season 28. Congratulations mate.

Awesome season, moginie. Have really enjoyed your posting. Looking forward to seeing a bit S29!

This award is given to the player deemed the best clubman by the captain; whether it be via providing engaging banter, going the extra mile or putting a hand up to help out. It takes a bit of work to ensure Mt. Buller remains a league-leading club and I’m fortunate to be surrounded by a fantastic leadership group.

But leadership in our club comes from all corners, and I like to reward those who put effort in week in week out to keep us an engaging and powerful club in match threads.

I’ve noticed one particular player that has done a power of work in match threads ensuring we represent; he’s sought engagement from all of us and has worked hard to get the best out of everyone.

That’s why I’m pleased to award this season’s Captains Award to Callums_Guns – congratulations mate, and thanks for your work this season.

Huge. The engagement is what I've noticed most. Always looking to get others involved in ways that interest them (both us and the opposition). Love your work, Callums_Guns.

The Eth Award is named after one of the greatest captains, player and teammate of this great club. Introduced a number of seasons ago, the Eth Award is voted on by players and is an accolade to be incredibly proud of. Past winners include Tarks, Van_Dyke, Oddhawk and Yakker.

Voting for this year’s award was done individually by PM, and once I tallied the votes I came upon an embarrassing conclusion. You chose this guy…

But of course I accept, and I’m most proud to. I honestly think we’ve got the best squad of players in this damn league, and we’re working to make it even better next season. Keep hitching your snowmobiles to the Demons for Season 29.

Very well deserved, manang. Outstanding season, and I'm glad it's been recognised.

The Dragons had come off a bruising Round 13 encounter with the Bombers, so were mostly tucked in the foetal position in our match thread. With AceAndy trying to grow the game of Qooty overseas, the task of actual posting was left to us.

This of course allowed us to be at our insular best, which suits us just fine. Especially when the attempts at interaction were met with the likes of this…

The match was a classic encounter – one that will be remembered for many seasons due to one key moment. It started as a tight tussle, before the Dragons managed to jump ahead by around 40 points in the third quarter.

As had become the pattern, we managed to peg the deficit back slowly, and took the lead in the 14th minute of the last quarter. However, the Dragons hit back and led by 4 points with just 1.5 minutes remaining.

Enter Headless – the man; the myth; the legend. He stepped onto the field from the bench, wrenched the ball free and slammed home a goal in the 25th minute of the match to seal (and steal) a famous victory for the Demons – a win by 4 points.

He’s done it again!

VOTES:

3 - Yakker [21 touches, 4 tackles, 2 goals]
2 - Proper Gander [14 hitouts, 19 touches, 5 tackles]
1 - sante [19 touches, 10 marks]​

This is one of my favourite ever matches.

Oh, and of course we should welcome Harvey Manfrenjensenden to the club for Season 29. Much excitement.

Hello Harvey Manfrenjensenden.

I had a poor year.

I blame Headless, especially that game where I had 11 tackles and almost 20 touches and 2-3 goals just after half time and was taken off for pretty much the rest of the game!

I was going to get 3 votes for sure that game!

Headless cost me a Deestroy!

DJ, don't do this to me. I can't take the emotional baggage. If it's any consolation, I'm all aboard the DemonJim For Season 29 Mobbs campaign.
