Coney Island Warriors v Mount Buller Demons at Van Cordlandt Park
The in-form Warriors (6-4, 4th) host the bottom-placed, 2-8 Demons this week. The Warriors were impressive last weekend as they dominated the second half against the Old Boys in a 60 point smashing. The Demons notched just their 2nd win for the season on the weekend , overcoming inaccuracy and half and quarter time deficits to upset the top 4 Furies by 17 points. Both teams will be desperate to continue their winning formlines and setup their respective seasons.
Last time they met
In Round 13 of last season, the Warriors were held goalless by the Demons in the first quarter but fought back in the 2nd to be just 10 points down at the main change. They found another gear in the third quarter to take a handy 11 point lead into the final change before holding on for a memorable 3 point win against the Demons. Big man Tarkyn_24 starred in the engine room in a losing cause with 98 DT/7 tackles/1 goal to take out the 3 Mobbs votes, whilst veteran warriors pantskyle (6 tackles) and TheInjuryFactory (111 DT, 6 tackles) got 2 and 1 Mobbs votes respectively for their impressive performances.
Players to watch
For the Demons, sante (109 DT, 27 disposals) was best on ground on the weekend and was well supported by cartwright (90 DT, 3 goals, 20 disposals, 7 tackles) and Hate (75 DT, 19 disposals) . For the Warriors pantskyle (123 DT, 2 goals, 7 tackles) wound back the clock in a vintage, classy performance and worked well with spudmaster (108 DT, 1 goal) and CursingFijian (92 DT, 3 goals, 24 disposals) as Piggy Smalls (4 goals) capitalised on the silver service.
Prediction
Warriors by 27 points
