[sausageroll]

Headless still has the best winning percentage as captain in the history of the SFA, undefeated in top spot with 6 consecutive wins.

The match against the Royals was much tighter than previous weeks but we did enough in the second and third quarters still come away with a fairly comfortable win.

The return of Azarole in Round 4 was followed by the return of Proper Gander in Round 5. A huge couple of weeks for us.

Posting
Round 4 against the Bombers saw us bounce back after a relatively quiet week against the Roys.
We had our second highest post count of the season and ended up with 19 active posters.
We have had more than 50% of match thread posts every week, finishing with 58% on this occasion.

cats2rise led the posting with 98 just beating Wosh on 96. moginie was not far behind on 85, his highest total for the season.
Headless and Gralin both finished above 50 but the real highlight was Proper Gander who came from nowhere in a huge return, finishing with 62 posts.
tgrs , Scythe94 , cooney and I rounded out the top 10.

DT score v Head to Head score
Our midfield did well again, with p4p1 , moginie , Wosh and cats2rise all winning their positions, but our forward line was the big difference between the two teams. DERO had yet another huge game , tgrs dominated at Centre Half Forward, and cooney got a lot of it on his flank.
cartwright and Yakker also had great games in defence.

Goals
DERO was the star up forward, finishing with 4 from the flank. tgrs nd Bluelegs also had good days in front of goal, finishing with 3 each. I kicked 5 from full forward and cooney kicked 2. Yakker provided a couple of highlights, drifting forward from the backline to kick 2.

Other Stats
Others featured in the top 5 categories include Azarole and Truetiger who had 3 and 2 tackles respectively, with both rewarded by the umpires for their efforts.

Posting
Although the total number of Demons posts was the second lowest of the season in Round 5, we had an equal season-high 21 posters, finishing with over 60% of the match thread posting against the Royals.
Gralin finished with twice as many posts as the next highest Demon, finishing with 107. Wosh , cats2rise and I all finished in the low 50s. The Demons were very consistent with moginie , tgrs , Headless and Scythe94 all over 30, Yakker in the 20s and cooney the highest of 5 others who all finished with double figures.

DT score v Head to Head score
The Demons midfield had another big game with moginie scoring his fourth score of 110+ in a row, well supported by Wosh , cats2rise , p4p1 and Gralin once again.
tgrs and DERO were prominent up forward again and Van_Dyke and Truetiger got a lot of it in defence. Yakker absolutely dominated aginst his direct opponent with a head to head score of 113.
Headless prevailed BIG TIME after coming on from the interchange, topping the head to head scores in a dominant performance.

Goals
It was a ral team effort in front of goals this week. DERO and tgrs continued their goal kicking form, anding with 3 each along with myself and sante from his pocket.
moginie and Wosh kicked 2 each from the midfield.

Other Stats
The unpires were nice to cartwright
the umpires were not so nice to jmoo wan
​

 

[sausageroll]

Posting
Gralin and Wosh lead the posting up to Round 5, averaging just over or just under 100 posts per game. cats2rise , Headless and moginie also feature highly, all over 300 posts for the season.
tgrs and Scythe94 both average in the 30s and p4p1 has had a great start to his SFA career, posting over 20 times per match. cooney rouds out the top 10 with an average around 15.

DT score v Head to Head score
moginie is having a huge season on the ball, absolutely dominating his opponents over the past month. p4p1 , Wosh and cats2rise are well up on their direct opponents and Gralin and Scythe94 have found a lot of the ball in several good contests against their opponents.
If there's one Demon player who has come close to the levels of dominance Mogs has reached, it's DERO . Not only is he in our top 5 DT, but he's also second in goal kicking with 13 and second in head to head scores with a very impressive 582, meaning he's scored 165 DT more than his direct opponents.
Our Key forwards feature in the head to head leaderboard with tgrs especially winning his position comfortably at Centre Half Forward.
Van_Dyke and cartwright have been good in defence.

Goals
I'm averaging just over 4 goals and sitting 3rd overall, but 11 goals behind the leader at this stage of the season. DERO and moginie 's dominance in their positions is highlighted by the number of goals they've kicked so far, even outscoring sante and Bluelegs who have been good in the pockets.

Other Stats...
Yakker has a very high tackle cound for a defender.
cartwright and jmoo wan need to be less abusive to the umpires. They're clearly not being treated favourably. At least cartwright wins the occasional free kick.
Although Hit Outs are not featured in the tables, cats2rise is leading the SFA in that statistic and leading all rucks in DT as well.
