Official Team Thread Mount Buller Demons | Season 33 Team Thread | Congratulations Moginie S33 Deestroy Medal Winner

[Headless]

Very good, sante.

Very good, indeed.

 

[manangatang]

Now, we might not remember that sante is fresh off winning the much-vaunted and easier to explain Defender Of The Year award in Season 32. It’s easy to forget given how many goals he’s kicked in Season 33.

So who filled the enormous emu-shaped hole in our defence this season?

Well, actually it was me.

DID YOU KNOW, good people of Mt. Buller, that of all self-sacrificing Full Backs in the 33rd season of the Sweet F.A., it was I who conceded THE LEAST GOALS for the entire season? It’s quite amazing isn’t it?

Well, I think it is anyway.

Anyway, I think it would be simply ludicrous for me not to award this season’s award to my own self. I need it for my tattered self-esteem!

Congrats me!

Now – BACK TO THE COUNT!

Now – BACK TO THE COUNT!

This guernsey looks wonderful on you, manang.

Just wonderful.

Sitting at 1-3, we really needed to win in round 5 against the Royals to keep in touch with the leading teams - and that's exactly what we did. In warm conditions, we missed opportunities in the first quarter, leading the Royals 3.6.24 to 3.1.19 at the first break. We were, however, dominant in the second quarter, kicking six goals to two.

By three-quarter time, the margin was 42 (aided by some last-minute magic from sante), and we extended it slightly to 46 by the end of the game.

sante was a stand-out this week after a few lean matches, kicking 6 goals and 4 behinds. Other impressive performers included:

• PaythePerryman (16 disposals, 5 marks, 2 tackles)
• cooney (21 disposals, 4 tackles)
• cats2rise (16 disposals, 7 marks)
• haydo (25 disposals, 8 marks, 3 tackles)
• jmoo wan (22 disposals, 3 marks)
• Oddhawk (23 disposals, 6 marks)
• sausageroll (19 disposals, 8 marks)
• Hate (15 disposals, 7 tackles, 11 hitouts)
• Proper Gander (24 disposals, 7 tackles, 3 goals)
• Headless (2 handballs)

It was a slightly quieter match thread than usual, but the Royals are always enjoyable. From the Royals, nahnah, ex-Demon boncer34, omgfridge, The Filth Wizard, PMBangers and others (plus a wonderful match thread OP by JoshWoodenSpoon) kept the match thread ticking.

On our side of the fence, prolific match thread posters included Headless, sausageroll, cooney, Callums_Guns, and sante. Our dear friend Azarole guaranteed us a win early in the week by posting 10+ times in the match thread.

I feel very much at home in it Headless.

Metaphorically speaking, of course.

In Round 6 and desperate for a win in moginie's 100th game, we hosted the Sin City Swamprats at the Snow Dome. Things, well, didn't go to plan.

Despite rainy conditions, this was a high-scoring match, with more than 200 points scored in total. The game was close throughout; we were ahead by nine points at quarter time, ahead by six points at half time, ahead by five points at three-quarter time, and ultimately lost the game by nine points. A disappointing last quarter saw the Swamprats kick four goals to two, which proved to be the difference in the end.

Despite the loss (and donuts from cats2rise and Heardy_101), we had some strong sim performers, including:

• Hate (13 disposals, 13 hitouts, 2 tackles)
• Milestone moginie (24 disposals, 5 marks, 1 goal)
• Bluelegs (18 disposals, 7 marks, 3 tackles)
• Azarole (3 goals)
• Van_Dyke (18 disposals, 2 goals)
• haydo (18 disposals, 7 marks, 1 goal)

The match thread was enjoyable and IMO one of the best games against the Swamprats in a long time. Prolific opposition posters included THE BIG TICKET okeydoke7, Kennedy Parker, and philreich.

On our end, prolific match thread posters included Headless, sante, cats2rise, moginie, Callums_Guns, sausageroll, cooney, Van_Dyke, and manangatang.

Our season moved on, and so we must.

In Round 7, we headed off to The Eyrie to face the East Side Phoenix, who had been in good form to that point of the season. To put it bluntly, things went well for us - we won by 90 points in cloudy conditions.

But not everything went our way across the match. In fact, it was quite close for much of it; we led by three points at quarter time, 18 points at half time, and 18 points again at the final change. It was the final quarter where we really put our collective foot down, scoring a massive 12.6 and conceding just one straight goal.

It was a wonderful team effort, but there were also some incredible sim performers this week. Check out some of these stats:

• haydo: 40 disposals, 6 marks, 3 tackles, 3 goals
• cats2rise: 24 disposals, 6 marks, 3 tackles
• moginie: 21 disposals, 5 marks, 1 goal
• Hate: 27 disposals, 18 hitouts, 6 tackles, 1 goal
• Azarole: 4 goals, 3 behinds
• sante: 9 goals
• Proper Gander: 26 disposals, 13 tackles, 2 goals
• cooney: 21 disposals

Those are some serious games!

The match thread was a little tense at times, but it was largely an enjoyable week with the likes of Agent93, thewizardmelon, MannumPower, por_please_ya, and MC Bad Genius in opposition.

On our end, prolific match thread posters included sausageroll, Headless , cats2rise, cooney, and Hate.

What is a cats2rise medal? I ask myself this very question almost every single day of my pitiful existence. Bleak and marked as it is by an everlasting sense of dread and foreboding.

When it becomes all just a bit much for me to work through, I just jump onto BigFooty and I just darn well look for myself.

BigFooty says that the cats2rise medal is the award handed out by the Mt. Buller Demons Sweet F.A. club to each season’s club-leading goalkicker. Well there you go. It's named after some club legend or something. I don't know the guy personally, but this is what I hear.

So who might be the winner of this coveted award (which is named after a simply lovely fellow whose hatred for the Wonders is a thing of beauty) for Season 33?

Well, I feel the answer to that is even simpler than the question I initially posed. The award goes to the person who has kicked the most goals in Season 33! Of course! You silly!

And that person just happens to be the lovely sante . After Proper Gander generously moved into a prime midfield position, sante was left to anchor our forward line, using his barely existent experience as a forward to lead us to many famous victories.

I just love the way he’s re-emerged as a poster this season as well and have thoroughly enjoyed his witty and thoughtful match thread (and media) contributions.

Congratulations on a well-deserved award Emu!

There’s something unnerving about an emu head being superimposed on Brock McLean’s body.


I think it’s that it looks more human.

The body - would you believe - is that of Nat Fyfe of the Fremantle Dockers AFL club.

 

[manangatang]

Well, the less said about this game the better - which is why, of course, Headless wrote quite a lot about it.

We hosted the Bombers in Round 8, and were treated to, if nothing else, an abundance of YouTube videos that literally nobody watched or listened to. Major contributors from the Bombers included BLUEALLTHRU, Pugsley, and Bovo. It was overall a good-natured and spritely thread.

In a big game for haydo (game 250!), we got off to a slow start, and then never really recovered. A 23 point deficit at quarter time because 33 at half time, then 49 at three-quarter time, and then 66 at full time. Not a good day by any measure, despite the occasion.

We did have some decent sim performers, however, including:

• manangatang (25 disposals, 9 marks)
• Yakker (18 disposals, 9 marks)
• jmoo wan (16 disposals, 9 marks)
• Hate (21 disposals, 7 hitouts, 4 tackles, 1 goal)
• Proper Gander (23 disposals, 1 goal)
• cooney (17 disposals, 1 goal)

Prolific posters on our side of the fence included Headless, Callums_Guns, sausageroll, sante, Proper Gander, DemonJim, cooney, cats2rise, Bluelegs, Yakker, and manangatang.

As is custom around here, the Mt. Buller Coaches/Clubman award is tonight to be handed out by our mentor and cultural ‘north star’ Richard_Cranium … let’s wait and see if he emerges.
