Official Match Thread Season 35, Round 16: Mount Buller Demons vs West Coast Wonders @ Snow Dome [Heritage Round]

[DenieD]

It's Heritage Round again. You know what that means. The old folk of your club will be reminiscing the good old days when they won a premiership and scored more dreamteam points than you could possibly (for lack of a better term) dream of. With just 3 rounds to go there is still a lot to play for (unless if you're the Demons or Swamprats) with multiple teams outside the 8 still close enough to sneak in. It will be a hotly contested round of qooty.
​

Historical Facts:

• There are no players that played in the club's first meeting (Season 01, Round 02) that are set to play in Heritage Round.
• This will be the 5th Round 16 match-up between the two clubs - the Mount Buller Demons have a winning record of 3-1.
• ClarkeM has played in 58 of the club's 73 meetings - 1 game for the Mount Buller Demons, 57 for the West Coast Wonders.
• In Season 12, Round 02, the Mount Buller Demons defeated the West Coast Wonders by 67 points - the biggest margin between the two clubs.
• x28 Players have played at least one game for either club in this match-up over the course of the long rivalry.
• x5 Players (ClarkeM, BallaratBulldog, Headless, cooney, and croweater 41) have played in 50+ West Coast Wonders vs. Mount Buller Demons match-ups.
• x6 Players have scored over 2,000 DreamTeam Points in this match-up - DemonJim is sitting on 1,978 and has the chance to tick over 2,000 this round.
• lanky_wes and DemonJim have scored the most Mobbenfuhrer Medal votes - 15 votes each.
• x4 Players have polled Mobbenfuhrer Medal votes for both clubs (DemonJim, Marklar_33, MagpieGirl, WaLkEr_ThE_StAr)
• Season 22, Elimination Final saw haydo rack up 152 DreamTeamPoints - the highest in this match-up and his career high.

Demons had another loss (shocker) on the weekend. The only silverware they can possibly get is the wooden spoon, but they'll need Swamprats to win one more game, and that just seems highly unlikely at this point.

Wonders are having a great season so far. They are sitting pretty in 3rd spot on the ladder and have an extra game in hand over the other teams above them. A win here would confirm top 4 and help boost their odds at a top 2 finish.

Prediction: Wonders by 34

Captains, please have your teamsheets in by Thursday 11:59pm AEST

Nice OP DenieD
Thank you

I would like to say I put in more than 5 minutes of effort, but that would be a lie.

 

[Wosh]

I would like to say I put in more than 5 minutes of effort, but that would be a lie.

But I know that 5 minutes of effort from you is a LOT, so extra appreciation.

Don’t worry about it, you have a snorkel

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Thanks heaps DenieD for your highly respectful and well crafted OP.

Kudos for going out on a limb and tipping the Wonders. Yes I know form is temporary and Class is permanent and the Wonders have both. But still there was no need to rub the Dees noses into the facts of history.

Must be bloody cold on Mount Buller this am as it is freezing where I am.

Oops forgot my manners. Good morning to the traditional rivals.

Irrespective of our places on the ladder, the Wonders v Dees matches are always the centrepiece of Heritage Week.This will be no different.

Hello Demon friends. And Headless.
