I never liked the look of Demonology. When I first became interested in posting about the MFC, Demonology had that weird takeover happening (who the [censored] bothers to do a takeover of a message board?) and I also felt at the time, the content of posters here was far superior.

I hadn't realised the likes of @Pollyannaand @Axis of Bobwere posters over there, because they are some of my favourites now. I do remember really liking RobbieF's posts too. 

I've now been here 12 years. Time flies. It's really helped me download after all our terrible losses in that time, from 186 to the Neeld years. Thanks to @Whispering_Jack, @Demonland, @Nasher and @Grapeviney for providing a space where it can happen.

RobbieF was a great. Use to enjoy reading his content. I believe he use to post on here under a different name? But haven't seen him on here for couple of years.

Another who I hope is still kicking around.

    There was a site called MFCFlame which was the first one I joined. I remember old55 (Pollyanna) and Rono (TGR) were on it. Then found Demonland which had a whole lot more traffic. Demonology was revived on a new platform by a young fella named Jarrad - I think with Tim's blessing. He did a good job but it never really gained the traction of the old site. I went across (different user name to here) but haven't been on for a couple of years. Got jack of old mate Range Rover hijacking every thread.

    Go the Biff, the constant derailing of threads by the same few people was the last straw for me too. It became unreadable. Such a pity for the sites administrator and Tim's legacy. I have been reading both sites for many years starting in the earlier 2000s. I never posted very much. I was originally on ology a lot more as I could read it at work, while Demonland was blocked by the firewall for some reason. If anyone remembers Aaron Rogers on our list, I was working with his Dad at the time and we has a few conversations over what was on the site. 

    Thank goodness now for land.

    Now in retirement it might be time to wander back and see if the manhood measuring has settled down. The world is a better balanced place with both sites going strongly. At least I have time to post every now and then nowadays.

    What a trip, I was just wondering about GSmith (Graeme) a couple of days ago and thought about posting, enquiring about what he’s up to. Glad to hear he’s enjoying retirement. We had a good rapport. 
     

    I remember Rono (TGR) calling this place Strawberry Fields, because it was all positivity and niceties. Yeah nah, add that to the list of [censored] he got wrong. Haven’t seen him around for a while. 
     

    What about Rollo? Is he still around?

    Was going to post a few weeks back but it must be time for a bit of a whip around to help support the site.

    May need lots more bandwidth if the season goes as we hope it does. Perhaps even more if it goes the other way ?

    Rollinson was a riot. Loved his contribution until his seemingly abrupt departure.

    Used to post on Demonology more than here to start with. Graham Gaunt was a great poster, especially in the EPL thread.

    I'm another who was primarily an 'ologist until it ate itself.

    Had the pleasure of meeting GSmith for a couple of beers here in Canberra a few years back...a true gentleman.

    Demonology still operates under different operators than the people who conned Tim_ into letting them take it.

    Not as active as the old days.  Demonland is the place to be.

    I often wondered if Dr Who ended up here in some guise. Maybe multiple ones. Would get sniffed out pretty quick though I would suspect with their views.

    Good old Dr Who and his brother….

    I remember the day well when the news broke that 'ology was under siege. I can't remember exactly who announced it, but it almost felt like one of those surreal events that you feel like you are living in the moment and as such leave you gobsmacked.

    I remember that actual names were revealed, a lot of double dealing came to the fore and ultimately, 'ology was moved on to a website removed from the shenanigans they tried to pull.

    I was a bit like @dazzledavey36 in my relationship to 'ology. I read it a lot, but rarely posted. I found it all a bit too cliquey to be honest. 

    I find it a bit surprising now to discover that 'ology followers found 'landers to be too optimistic in the past! I think we are fairly moderate now, but during Neeld and CS's reigns of terror, you wouldn't recommend this joint to anyone who was down in the dumps. Not without good reason mind you!:laugh:

    I believe that Tim was quite ill which influenced his decision to relinquish control of Demonology.

    Does anybody here know Tim and/or know how he is doing?   I hope he's going well and enjoying our year.

    I have observed some common traits of several posters calling themselves  Dr.......  Perhaps I need to eat more apples.

    That reminds me - markc was another passionate Melbourne man that frequented both sites. I hope I’ve got my wires crossed here but did I read recently that he had passed away?

    Correct Nasher, one of his friends posted on here that he had sadly passed.

    I’d say that this place probably changed due to the influx of Demonology refugees.

    He has made a few tentative comebacks, hasn't he? There was a fellow here called DaveyDee, who was purported to be the Doctor and was crapping on about Richmond and GWS' club standards during his last cameo here.

    He went on about Carlton’s training standards about 5-6 years ago

    i remember that well!!

    2 things.

    1) I hear how long demonology was around for, and then I myself only realised there were AFL supporters forums online, 4 years ago... and stumbled across this one, and wish I had come across it early in my life. The Demonology personalities sound like they were far more abrasive than on here.

    2) This is a pretty meta thread.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
