Woooo manangatang I’ve had dinner, I’m settled in with a cup of tea, and I’ve told everyone to leave me alone for the night

Thank you!

Did you dispose of the old chocolate sprinkles Wosh?

 

[manangatang]

Were you in a Futrama style time machine whilst I was a leader at the Royals and the club formerly known as the East Side Hawks?

Naturally!

I think it's about time we rename the leading goal kicker award.

What is a cats2Rise medal? I ask myself this very question almost every single day of my pitiful existence. Bleak and marked as it is by an everlasting sense of dread and foreboding.

When it becomes all just a bit much for me to work through, I just jump onto BigFooty and I just darn well look for myself. Here’s what I type: “What is a cats2Rise medal?”.

BigFooty says that the cats2Rise medal is the award handed out by the Mt. Buller Demons Sweet F.A. club to each season’s club-leading goalkicker.

So who might be the winner of this coveted award (which is named after a simply lovely fellow whose hatred for the Wonders is a thing of beauty) for Season 35?

Well, I feel the answer to that is even simpler to the question I initially posed. The award goes to the person who has kicked the most goals in Season 35!

And that person just happens to be Wosh !

Wosh’s goal-kicking tally is made even more incredible by the fact that she only played in the forward line for 11 games (just 6 of those at full-forward) and managed to kick 36 goals. I look forward to her winning the FRED this season!

Congratulations on a well-deserved award Wosh!

 

[manangatang]

One of the biggest travesties of last season – and I take personal responsibility for this one – is the fact that sausageroll didn’t get nominated for the All-SFA team at half back.

On top of the mountain of work he did compiling our posting and on-ground stats all last season (and his tireless work supporting the opposition each week), this guy kicked arse on the field and deserves recognition.

In a season where we were consistently pummelled by a lack of whole-ground defence, a lone baked savoury good stood up each and every week. He outperformed all other nominated half back flankers in the entire of the league, and more than earns his recognition as our club's best defender.

We salute you sausageroll and congratulate you on winning this season’s Best Defender award.

Let it be a down-payment on your upcoming All-SFA dominance.

 

[manangatang]

This award – formerly known as the Best Rookie award – has been named in memory of our beloved and much-missed teammate Deaneus! . It recognises posters who are new to the league and who have made a contribution to our club from the very beginning.

We enjoyed two new posters at the Demons across Season 35 – each of them made an impact with their wit, engagement and contribution to the culture of this great club.

However, the poster that has won the Deaneus! Award for Season 35 is cartwright .



We thoroughly enjoyed seeing how well you have integrated into our club. While you’re still making your way in a league that is incredibly overwhelming at times, we feel like you’re built of the right stuff to enjoy a nice career at Mt. Buller.

Congratulations on this well-earned recognition.

What we liked…

• We enjoyed our week off after the Swamprats game and came back well-refreshed!
• ANOTHER week where 21 of our posters turned up to put the opposition to the sword!
• Wonderfully strong posting from Wosh , Hate and sausageroll !

• A rare Azarole sighting!

What the SIM said…

• A WIN – YES, OUR FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON! (but wins don’t matter, people matter)
• Five goals from Greenery !
• A solid game from Hate in the ruck!
• A gritty five-tackle game from Tarkyn_24 !
• ME being the leading possession-getter for the Demons!
• I think its actual words were “Hey everybody, I’m the SIM and let’s all laugh at the Phoenix for losing to the Demons!”

Round 7 Votes

[manangatang]

What we liked…

• 21 club contributors to our match thread at the midway point of an almost world-record-bad season. Best posting club ever? Yes.
• Another thread where Wosh and sausageroll led the charge for us – you know the quality was good…

• A rare Marlowe sighting! We love Marlowe!
• Our opponents didn’t annoy us really, and Broken was a delight to post against, as usual

What the SIM said…

• The SIM once again sent a message that it disliked us (and that last week was just a form of hope-building)
• Three goals (and 90 DT points) from cartwright !
• A generally low-possession game otherwise, and no real standout players in a 49 point loss
• I think it might have actually said “Hey everybody, I’m the SIM and never forget that the Demons are doomed in Season 35 but don’t worry because I know they’re the best club really”. it might also have said lol and/or rofl.
