I'm a bit behind in the stats this week. I've been busy over the past couple of days. The stats were done yesterday, just need to do the write-ups. Should have it done tomorrow or the day after.

You are doing a great job. Thank you. My fabulous Buller comrades and I are grateful.

Our good form in warm weather continued against the Dragons last week, coming away with our 5th win in these conditions. We now sit in 7th position with 7 wins for the season, although our percentage will be an issue if we can't win at least one or two of the remaining three games.

manangatang was the star this week, finishing with 121 DT, well ahead of the next best (Scythe94 and Gralin both on 85). He was also the leading goal kicker for the game, finishing with 5. cooney had his third big game in a row at Centre Half Forward while Yakker and cartwright got plenty of the ball on their flanks.
jmoo wan was back to his best at Centre Half Back, well supported by Marlowe on his flank. cats2rise and moginie also provided plenty of run in the middle.

Goals were shared around a lot this week. Bluelegs (three goals) and sante (two goals) continued their strong goal kicking form, while cooney and Yakker kicked three each from half forward. Gralin and Scythe94 both kicked one each. I wasted my opportunities, kicking just one from fove scoring shots.

Posting was at its highest for the past month, finishing with 19 posters and the most posts since Round 10. We also had seven Demons post over 20 times, although it dropped off a lot after that.
The highlight was easily the increased activity from Headless who was back to his entertaining best. cats2rise continued his hot posting streak and Gralin still hasn't been outside the top three this season. moginie has been a star all season and opposition teams are really starting to notice what he contributes to match threads. Wosh was another big positive, also back amongst it after a couple of less active weeks and manangatang, despite being consistent all year, had his biggest week since Round 4.

Random Stats:
1. We have won 5 out of 6 matches in warm conditions this season.
2. Tarkyn_24 would have been our 4th highest poster this week if we'd paid attention to him he'd been a Demon.
3. Pie 4 Life kicks less goals from the middle than he does at full back. To be fair, he had a stronger opponent this week.

This week DERO is celebrating his 200th SFA match and his 100th Demons match against the Wonders. If we win, we're a very strong chance of playing finals. Match thread is here.

Round 18 - Sunday, 19 May 2024
Mount Buller Demons v East Side Hawks at The Snow Dome

So next week back to normal for us a Sunday game, I’m going to the country for a funeral so I won’t be around too much.
Feels strange to be in R18 already, this season has just flown.

Before this week, the Demons had won 5 of 6 games in warm conditions. But then DERO had to go and have his 200th SFA and 100th Demons game in those conditions, meaning we were destined to lose. Comgratulations on the miestones despite the loss. Things were looking pretty good in the first quarter but unfortunately we dropped off after that, eventually going down by 22 points.

Our midfield was very good this week, wiith moginie jumping back to the top after a relitively quiet month and cats2rise , Gralin , Scythe94 and Proper Gander all taking advantave of manangatang 's work in the ruck. Several of the forwards also found a bit of the ball, including cartwright , Yakker and cooney once again.

sante continued his goal kicking form, finishing with another three goals, just two behind me. moginie kicked two from the midfield and Bluelegs , cooney , Scythe94 and Gralin all kicked one goal each.

Posting numbers were very similar to our previous match, finishing on 342 for the week. We had 20 active posters for the first time since Round 10 with eight Demons reaching double figures.
Gralin jumped back to the top of the posting list, followed by moginie who is continuing his outstanding year. I was very happy to see these two push me down the list after three weeks at the top of the numbers. cats2rise and Headless always make the week a lot more entertaining when they're up and about and last week was no exception.
manangatang , Wosh and cooney were the others to reach double figures.

Random Stats:
1. sante has kicked 16 goals in the last 6 matches.
2. Bluelegs has kicked at least one goal in all but one game this season.
3. Gralin is the only Demon to finish in the top three posters in all of our match threads.

This week we have the Hawkie Walkie Woozies. Or is it the Hawky Walky Woozies? One or the other.

I would attempt to explain what kind of result we need in our final game to lock in a finals spot, but with all the fixtures and the byes and the things with the other things, all I know is if we don't win before the next full moon, we enter a "rock, paper, scissors" play off!

I'm not sure what I'm basing this off, but I think Scythe94 should be rock, paper, scissors representative. I get good vibes.
