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?

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.

Used to post there  under different name much more than here. Remember deestroy all a fair bit and the great TGR who was a legend in his own lunch time. Surprised g smith never came over.

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

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.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0
