Official Match Thread Season 26 Round 12 - Mount Buller Demons vs Gumbies FFC at Snow Dome

Season 26 Round 12
Mount Buller Demons vs Gumbies FFC
MATCH OF THE ROUND
​

Match of the Round should be an absolute corker with 2 teams locked on 8 wins being hosted up at the Snow Dome. The Gumbies have already had 4 points docked for an incorrect teamsheet submission, and are essentially playing catch-up to the Demons despite being on the same amount of wins. The Demons, meanwhile, are unequivocally the in-form team of the competition, with 5 wins on the trot, and have the opportunity to hit top spot with a win this weekend.

The Demons won by just 15 points back in Round 1 and these teams have looked hard to split for the majority of the season. The Gumbies have had a number of posters start their careers at or move directly from the Demons, so there's a bit of familiarity there. Mount Buller have won the last 5 on the trot, storming into the top 5, whilst the Gumbies' recent form is also on the up despite some off-field issues in recent weeks.

The Demons have had a wide array of contributors in their brilliant run to the top 4, with some eye-catching performances from their half forward line in particular, comprised of cats2rise, cooney and sausageroll. Tarkyn_24's tackling prowess sees him feared across the league, whilst a mid-season swap of positions between ABray10 and FinBar19 has been a win-win situation - the former picking up 2 Team of the Week nominations at CHB and the latter kicking 14 goals in the last 2 games. For the Gumbies, their followers have been their best, with roo2macca one of the league's best backmen and BRAB looking at back to back All-SFA selections. Jivlain has slowed down at full forward but is always a valuable contributor. Veteran and club legend StFly has experienced somewhat of a revival in form on a wing and was BOG in their victory last week with 23 disposals, 5 marks, 5 tackles and a goal.

Prediction
Demons by 8 points​

Captains, please post your official teamsheet by 11:59pm AEDT Thursday.​

I’ve played at both clubs twice.

Fair to say the Gumbies are trash.

Dees are all class.

Hi Gumbies.

Jivlain has slowed down at full forward but is always a valuable contributor.

I'm just pacing myself. The rest of the side is full of absolute champions, I don't have to go full-bore. Want to be absolutely ready when I am needed.

Hi Gumbies.

Hello Yakker.

Yes yes, missed you too.



Lots of focus has gone to this big match. All even on the all-time W/L records. Let's make this a good one!

Headless stayed away for years and then suddenly had the respect of his peers.
