Absolute banger!
Media - I tried to find somewhere to rent near Underground Stadium
I've been playing in the Sweet Football Association for some time now. This is my 31st consecutive season, in fact. And whilst my career has been undeniably spectacular, it's come at a cost; these days, I just feel tired all the time. I spoke to Kennedy Parker about it one time, who said it was...www.bigfooty.com

Next up we have the Best Defender Award.
As always, Wosh led from the front in Season 37, providing consistent engagement, support, and fun. Playing from full-back, Wosh had a stand-out season, frustrating opposition full-forwards like there was no tomorrow. This culminated in All-Sweet FA selection at full-back this week - worthy recognition of a great season.
We all know the positive impact Wosh has off the field, but itās great to also recognise the selfless defensive post Wosh has occupied all season. Congratulations, Wosh, on winning this award.

Yet another game in cloudy conditions and yet another convincing loss in those conditions. Once again, the game was all but over early, conceding 9 goals in the first quarter. The good news is, we only lost by 5 goals and not the usual 10.
We saw another shuffle in the line-up with Proper Gander moving to a wing and DERO returning to his back pocket. DemonJim came onto the field in the forward pocket and PMBangers replaced Hate in the 20.
Total Demons posts was in the 400s as it has been for the past month, but the number of active Demons was at a season-high 22 posters, five up on last week.
The bulk of the posting numbers came from the four usuals with Gralin, Wosh and moginie continuing their strong seasons. But the highlight was the activity levels from Proper Gander, who finished with over 50 for the week. This is the second time this season where five Demons finished with over 50 posts.
Nobody else reached 20 this week with manangatang, Yakker, Scythe94 and Truetiger all in the teens. Headless became the third person in the past three weeks to finish tenth in the posting with less than double figures.
manangatang had another big DT week in the ruck, closely followed by Scythe94 and Headless, all in the 90s.
Gralin and moginie sent the ball forward a lot through Yakker and Truetiger on their flanks.
Not surprisingly, our defenders found a lot of the ball again with DERO, cats2rise and Van_Dyke all having big games.
We had 10 goal kickers, which is pretty good for a losing side. Like in the past few matches, I wasted a few opportunities but Truetiger, moginie and cooney all chipped in with two each. Scythe94, Proper Gander, Gralin, Yakker, manangatang and DemonJim all finished with one.
Random Stats:
1. Once again, DERO got more of a run in the midfield when starting in the back pocket than he did starting in the midfield.
2. Headless' score of 91 more than doubled his DT total for the season. He scored a total of 89 DT in the first 6 rounds, 58 of which came in Round 4
3. We have lost 4 of 5 matches in Cloudy Conditions. Three of them have been 10 goal losses.
This week we'll get to finally catch up with Tarkyn_24 in our match against the Hawks. Can't believe he hasn't dropped by any of our match threads to say hi this season. It'll be great to catch up with him.

Second most goals?!View attachment 2025825
Letās take a quick break from the votes to award the cats2rise Medal, named after our dear friend and current Mount Buller veteran cats2rise, who has kicked the second most goals for the club in its history. The medal is presented to our leading goal-kicker each season.
Thereās no big surprise to this one - the winner is full-forward extraordinaire sausageroll. sausageroll had an incredible season in Season 37, leading the Fred Medal count for much of the season before ultimately falling behind Brenton Davy in the final round.
sausageroll kicked a superb 72 goals from 16 games this season, at an average of 4.5 goals per game. This would be enough to win the Fred Medal in most seasons.
In Round 3, sausageroll kicked 12 goals - the equal most in a single game in the history of the Sweet FA. This broke the long-standing club record of Finbar19 (11 goals, Season 26 Grand Final).
Unbelievable work, snags - another feather in your cap (it must be a large cap with all of those feathers in it! ).

Despite three losses by over 10 goals and the worst percentage in the SFA, we find ourselves back in the Top 8 after a strong win against the Hawks. We are one of only five teams that haven't had a bye yet so we need to win as many games as possible before our Round 13 bye to give ourselves a good chance of plaing finals.
We went into the match unchanged after shuffling 5 players in Rounds 6 and 7. Once selection was finalised we all kept our eyes on the weather forecast for the weekend, hoping for anything other than cloudy weather. The warm conditions we played in were a welcome change and gave us hope going into the game.
Posting numbers were down again, just 6 higher than our season low of 360 back in Round 1. We also dropped back to 17 active posters after surging to 22 in Round 7.
Four posters were over 50 with Wosh, moginie and Gralin leading the way as usual. Like last week, the next highest posters were all below 20 with manangatang, Scythe94, DERO, cooney and Yakker all in the teens and Headless rouding out the top 10 with 9 posts.
manangatang led the DT scoring for the second week in a row, cracking the ton for the first time this season, feeding the ball well to Gralin, moginie and Scythe94 in the midfield.
cartwright was good on her back flank and Van_Dyke and DERO provided plenty of run out of the back pockets.
Yakker and Truetiger got plenty of it on the forward flanks, serving the ball on a platter to full forward.
We had ten goal scorers for the second week in a row. I ended up with 8 and Yakker kicked 3 from his flank. Scythe94 finished with two goals while cooney, Gralin, Truetiger, Bluelegs, Proper Gander, manangatang and Van_Dyke all finished with one.
Random Stats:
1. DERO did it again...scoring more when starting in the back pocket than he did starting in the midfield.
2. Headless has scored 149 (83%) of his 180 DT points in two rounds.
3. Demons have won all three games played in warm conditions this season
This week we play Ophidian Old Boys at home. Let's give them a warm welcome
...with warm weather!

Cloudy weather. We all know how that ends. No need to mention the result.
We shuffled the team again with Truetiger and DemonJim moving to the back flanks and cats2rise and cartwright moving to the wing and half forward flank respectively. sante also moved to the forward pocket as part of the shuffle.
The match thread shared with the Old Boys was our biggest this year, over 600 posts higher than our second biggest and Demons posts was almost 100 higher than our previous high against the Rats in Round 2. The number of Demons posters was below the season average though, with only 18 of the 20 named actively posting in the thread.
The biggest highlights of the week were the increase in activity from cats2rise and Headless. Their activity, and the great week from DERO and Proper Gander made a hugh difference to the match thread.
Wosh had a huge week, posting her highest numbers of the season and Gralin wasn't far off his. Larry Gomes made two appearances, thanks to moginie notching up a ton.
We had more than 9 Demons reach double figures for the first time in five weeks. Yakker, manangatang, cooney and Scythe94 ensured we had 12 Demons in double figures.
moginie led DT scoring for the fourth time this season with Scythe94 and cats2rise joining him with scores over 100. manangatang and Gralin both also had big games again in the midfield.
Wosh had her biggest game since Round 1 and PMBangers came off the bench for his highest score of the season.
DemonJim and Truetiger both had good games in their new positions at half back.
We didn't have a lot of goal individual scorers this week but we did have a lot of multiple goal scorers. Bluelegs, moginie and Scythe94 all kicked three goals each and sante kicked two in his first game up forward. I kicked 5 goals before being dragged very early in the final quarter and PMBangers chipped in with one goal.
Random Stats:
1. Despite ending with a big loss, this round was the highest total DT for the club this season.
2. Three Demons scored over 100 DT for the first time this season.
3. Our results in different weather conditions this season... Warm: 3 wins from 3, 122.4%. Cloudy: 1 win from 6, 69.3%
This week we're away against the Royals in warm weather (wishful thinking).
We have two milestones this week. manangatang is playing his 200th club game and jmoo wan is playing his 200th SFA game.

Give us warm weather every week. Four wins from four in those conditions. It was great to have a win to celebrate the milestones for jmoo wan and manangatang this week.
There was only one change this week; Marlowe made a welcome return, replacing DemonJim who hadn't been sighted for a couple of weeks. Hopefully we'll see more from these two in the lead up to finals.
Posting overall this week was well down on the activity from the previous week. Demons ended up with 20 active posters though, and contributed over 56% of total posts, so it wasn't a bad week for us. We also had more then ten posters with over ten posts for the second week in a row.
It was great to see cats2rise and Proper Gander maintaining their activity from last week and Marlowe appearing for the first time this season with 20 posts.
Gralin, Wosh and moginie led the posting once again and manangatang, Headless, cooney and Yakker all finished in double figures.
moginie led DT scoring for the second week in a row, sharing top score with manangatang who has led in three of the past four matches.
Marlowe and Truetiger provided plenty of run off half back while Proper Gander and Scythe94 sent the ball forward to Yakker and cooney who provided an avenue to goal.
Goals kicked from the midfield were very important in a fairly low scoring match with manangatang and moginie both kicking two. Scythe94 and Proper Gander also kicked one each.
sante has become a valuable goal kicker for us since moving forward, finishing with two for the second week in a row and Bluelegs chipped in with one. I was the only other goal kicker, starting with two early goals and then kicking the two that sealed the game.
Random Stats:
1. Despite the win, this week was our lowest team DT score of the season. Our previous lowest was 980 in our Round 2 win against the Rats.
2. moginie is having a huge season, averaging 59 posts per game, leading DT, and third in goal scoring for Demons this season.
3. We have won all four matches in warm conditions this season.
This week we're up against the Roys in what will be another milestone match, with Marlowe celebrating his 300th SFA game.
Bring on the warm weather!

Congratulations to Marlowe who celebrated his 300th SFA match this week. Unfortunately this was the only real highlight for the Demons this week as we went down in warm weather for the first time this season despite being in a commanding position for the majority of the game.
To add to the loss, DT and posting were both well below our previous lows for the season.
Posting wise, cats2rise was the big positive again, while Gralin and moginie were great as usual. After this, manangatang, Wosh, cooney and Headless were all between 11 and 15 but no-one outside the top 8 reached double figures. Our 10th highest poster this week had 4 posts.
Onfield, cooney was the star. In a low scoring game, coon-dog racked up an outstanding 93 DT from Centre Half Forward, including two goals. Yakker and cartwright were also good on their forward flanks, as were Truetiger on his back flank and Headless coming off the pine.
manangatang, moginie, Scythe94, Proper Gander and cats2rise did well in the midfield.
sante's goal kicking form continued, finishing with a game-high three goals. cooney kicked his two, and Yakker, Scythe94, Bluelegs, manangatang, Proper Gander and I all kicked one each.
Random Stats:
1. moginie is leading the SFA in DT this season. Scythe94, Gralin and manangatang are also in the top 20.
2. This was our first loss in warm weather this season. We had previously won all four matches in these conditions.
3. We only need five goals this week to reach the club milestone of 10,000 goals
This week we have an away game against the Bears and then we have our bye the week after. It looks as though we're in need of the break. Hopefully we can re-energise for the run for the finals.

The weather forecast was for cloudy weather, leaving us little chance of coming away with a win. But we somehow managed to beat the odds and beat the Bears away from home.
We started well, kicking 6 goals in the first quarter and setting us up for another memorable loss. The gap closed in the second quarter but we had a big third quarter, going into the final break with a six goal lead. We managed to not fall apart in the last quarter, eventually going on to win by 40 points.
Scythe94 had a huge game with the highest DT score of any Demon this season. cooney followed his BOG performance in Round 11 with his first ton of the season and cartwright had her best game of the season, finishing on 99 including four goals.
manangatang gave cats2rise , Gralin and Proper Gander first use of the ball in the midfield and Truetiger and Van_Dyke provied plenty of run from defence.
We had four Demons kicking three or more goals this week. sante kicked another four goals; he was moved to the forward pocket a month ago and has kicked 11 goals over that period. cartwright also kicked four goals, her first for the season. I kicked six and Bluelegs kicked another three, putting him on 22 goals for the season.
Scythe94 kicked two and Yakker and Van_Dyke kicked one each.
Posting dropped off even more with only 16 active Demons and seven reaching double figures. It was also our lowest total for the season, with our numbers dropping to 193, well below our previous low of 260.
cats2rise was the highlight again, finishing in the top three posting numbers for the first time this season. I led the posting with just 37 posts, my second lowest total of the season and Gralin finished second, also with his lowest total of the season. moginie was up and about as always and Wosh , manangatang and cooney were the others to finish in double figures.
Random Stats:
1. This was only our second win from seven matches in cloudy conditions.
2. We had our highest DT total and lowest posting totals of the season in Round 12
3. The Demons achieved the club milestone of 10,000 goals in Round 12
This week we're up against the Dragons at home. Hopefully the week off has given everyone a chance to recharge.

After Round 4, letās check out the leaderboard as it stands.

Go Dees friends!!View attachment 2025965
With just four home and away games remaining, sausageroll leads the pack. moginie, Scythe94, and Gralin are close behind, whilst manangatang and Yakker still have an outside chance.
View attachment 1983691
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 ifwe'd paid attention to himhe'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.
