RRE - Rono Re Equitates

never got the cryptic nature of that poster’s name. 
 

Met Rollo one time - nice guy

IRW obsession with yachting

CHF long parables from afar - I enjoyed

 

Demonology had a couple of passionate and erudite female posters called Judee and Allicat, neither of whom I have seen posting anywhere for ages, sadly. 

Allicat is, I believe, the daughter of legendary Melbourne runner, trainer and later water carrier the late and great Sam Allica who is a life  member of the MFC and was later inducted into our Hall of Fame.  Sam is renowned for being suspended for eight games in 1974 for abusing a boundary umpire!

Hope both ladies are enjoying our season and would be rapt if they resumed posting about the mighty Demons.

How's this for a bump?!?

 

I came from demonology originally, can remember thinking this joint was wack and the 7 active posters on demonology were way smarter than you bunch of lunatics. From memory it was around the time Ricky Petterd was running around, always liked that guy.

 

Anyone else from/remember demonology?

I think Judee joined the Dr Who ticket for the attempted coup.

Fond memories of TGR, Rono, The Great Rono and whatever else he wanted to call himself taking on all comers re Jeff White who he just did not rate. Pretty sure he (TGR, not Jeff White) posted here for a while too after Demonology effectively went under.

 

 

 

pure Witches Hat

Has anyone noticed the likes of @Moonshadow and Ethan Tremblay ( who's changed his name to @AdiósAdióswhich I'm guessing he's left) don't post anymore?

I too notice @Wiseblood hasn't been active since April, but see him on twitter a fair bit.

Great characters who added a lot over the journey.

Hatchman still posts here but isnt nearly as active as he was on "Ology. Didnt always agree with him but his posts were always worth reading.

Yep still around. I joined Ology in 2003 I think. Was very active on there as I loved the discussion and banter for about 5 or so years. Conversation was definitely better than here back then, but DL is a great site now

Looking back I probably went a bit too far at times, put it down to maturity and the petulance of youth, but it was fun and there were some great posters

Like a lot of things life got in the way, had kids, moved house, got better jobs that were more demanding etc... something had to give and our beloved team was hardly something to enjoy taking about for a long time so I faded away. Always kept my membership though even if I hardly ever went to a game.

I moved to California last year, got an amazing job opportunity that I couldn't say no to. The irony that the moment I moved away our team is doing better than it ever has in my lifetime doesn't escape me but I haven't missed a game and don't plan to!

Ology what a blast that was pretty much everybody had given up around the stage it colapsed then Demonland appeared out of the blue.

I escaped from "Ology after the failed takeover. The Dr Who guy was a total weirdo who said he was only going to let "positive" posts stay up, and would delete anything that contained negativity. 

I had the same name there, and spent most of my time back and forth with a nutter called "HellhathNoFury", who said he worked as an "Operative" and was always intimating he had deep contacts but never came out with any worthwhile info. Super aggressive type he was.

Hatchman still posts here but isnt nearly as active as he was on "Ology. Didnt always agree with him but his posts were always worth reading.

I met @GSmith12 and @RobbieF and @Kumatomo_Ken... all terrific people. Robbie was/is a Foundation Hero who was a great read until he left.

 

Ahh, the old days....

Met RobbieF and one of his sons at a pre-season massacre of Adelaide many years ago. Wonderful people to be at the footy with.

@ding, did I meet GSmith with you at all? I feel I did but can't remember when.

Also said it before but @tilly was a cracker. Bloody hell he tore the Bulldogs supporters apart at a Casey game pre season (even though we got soundly beaten) He was actually so into them that I was convinced he was looking for a blue.

Funny guy, and again, great company at the footy.

 

As for Dr Who, I had no idea he took over the joint. He and his brother? drove me from the site before that happened.

Surprised no one has me mentioned the great Yze_Magic..

My god he was a character. Had a serious man couch on Colin Sylvia when he was drafted.

 

Terrible bloke that guy was haha

I was the one that helped wrestle the site off the two brothers, can’t remember their names now.

but it was really bizarre as they were involved at the club somehow and I had the club call me about it. Can’t remember the ladies name but she said whatever you do don’t give access to them. They offered me $$ to sell it to them which I couldn’t do to Tim and Gsmith who helped me get it back.

 

I had to completely rebuild the forum and in the early days of the new ology it was a lot of work, we had some great times, I stopped running it full time around 2 years ago and let Radar run it, albeit still managing the back end up until last year 

it was fun, I really enjoyed it but I think it’s faded into the sunset.

’ land for me is so hard to navigate due to the amount of posters, but it’s got the most gossip that’s for sure! 
 

love going down memory lane seeing all the old posters, and seeing that some of them have come over here. I might start looking at this site more now instead of Facebook :)

I know their names, but ironically enough if you try to post them (not that I intend on doing so), it will be instantly censored like a swear word.

I know this as it also happens in private messages! 😯 

That said, it’s kind of understandable. The day of ‘ology’s hostile takeover is still the most surreal day since I’ve been here. We don’t need it relitigated by the Brothers Grimm through deliberate or unintentional doxxing.

Amen. It was pretty crazy looking back on it! 


I used to post under a different name on 'ology and stuck a bit of money into it. There were some great characters over there in the day. Also some total ratbags. Fortunately there are none on 'land though.

hey, people...

things went sour on demonology when tim got sick...

we always thought that demonland was too straight-laced back then, but most of us migrated when there was no other choice and, I think, demonland improved (especially in grammar and spelling)... 😇

My favourite poster from demonology was Rono. Like Toby Green and Oscar Wilde, he was always controversial, larger than life, and made you keep coming back to view the latest outrage.

Regards to all,

Rollo

I loved Rono haha!! Im sure hes around somewhere. I closed up ology on monday for good, I think it was time we united as well, making Land even better. What a time to be alive!!

One of the funniest things I've ever read!  Well done Biffinator and well found Rusty.

That is very nice of you to say that, Demonstone. Thank you. I have one other alter ego as well who does not wear red and blue - he  appears every so often on SEN . . . . Elsewhere, Tiger Fang on Punt Road End had a good run before he was evicted by Rosie.

Thanks for providing a great platform for all the years after Tim. I had a soft spot for ology because its where I started. Ology could get through the work system firewall, but Land could not. 

I stopped going there when there became too few posters and threads got dominated by a few. But in the early days the site really reinforced my love the Dees as an interstate fan. I have been lurking  around the boards since around 2002 or 3. I never really got time to post until I retired recently.

So thanks again, and also thanks to Andy. Damn good sites!!

As an aside, I got an email from the admin of 'Ology a week or so ago saying they were pulling the plug entirely. I set up an account recently, but seeing that it had the digital equivalent of tumbleweeds rolling down it's streets saw to it that I didn't make one post.

Very sad, as I started there as a lurker before becoming a fully fledged poster on 'Land. 

It never really recovered after the Brothers Grimm conned the admin into signing the ownership rights over to them. It's spluttered along ever since and was finally put out of it's misery.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
