So your saying we're entering a period turbulence and uncertainty?

Demons Team Selection - Round 1 - Round 8.

View attachment 1940156

There have been more changes to the starting line-up over the past month than there were in the first four rounds. Two of these are due to switches between activity and inactivity. On one hand we were blessed by the return of Proper Gander, while on the other, we were saddened by the request from Hate to remove him from the 20 while he enters a period of inactivity. We all hope he's enjoying his break and look forward to seeing him again when the time is right.

DemonJim's activity has been on and off but the value he adds whenever he posts has seen him move back onto the field. PMBangers has also seen periods on the field and in the emergencies but is currently keeping Headless company on the interchange.

There is some irony in the positions DERO has filled. While starting in the back pocket he often finds himself getting a run in the midfield but the week he was named in the midfield he found himself moved back to the pocket within minutes of the game starting and stayed there for the rest of the game.

The other changes saw manangatang move to the ruck and Proper Gander start in the forward pocket before spending the past two weeks on a wing.

With varying levels of form and posting numbers in a range of positions there is a chance we may see more changes over the next month if any of the less active Demons want to step up. The opportunities are there.

Amazing work

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.
