Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

AKA old55 and Spunjy

I remember you started as old on here with the bunny in the snow profile pic. Spunjy makes sense for Bob given the current profile pic.

I took the same username on Land and probably stopped posting on ology about 3 years ago, maybe more. A pity, there was some fun banter - including the non-footy stuff.

Does anyone remember the thread started by Robbie F  called "Are we in , or about into enter a recession?". It was started soon after the election of Rudd in 2007 or early 2008 but before everyone knew of the impending Global Financial Crisis. It was so passionate that 'ology had to split the boards between footy and non-footy after that.

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?

That was me Nasher. There’s a nice thread on here mid January where I broke the news and Mark got a lot of love that he thoroughly deserved.

Im gutted he’s not here to see us playing the way we have been. He loved our club.

Another ex-ology here! I left when it fell in a hole. I had already joined land but posted rarely.

Sheesh that was a while ago.

Yep me too. I still remember when @TGR

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.

He definitely has been on here - he's also on Big Footy and is a GWS supporter can't remember his username though.

Edit - you'll know his posts when you see them, he's the one who always blamed the supporters for the club's failure over the last 50+ years

I have been thinking of Mark C and Two Sheds Jackson (Magnificent name, that one) both of whom i hope are watching The Demons somewhere. 
A mate of mine died in early 2016, he was a mad Bulldog Supporter 

GF day in a Manila Sports Bar i got smashed on whiskey’s in his honour. 
Was really sad he didn’t see it

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?

 

 

Sure was Josh! Circa 2001 or 2002 was when I joined. So many great memories and the server going into Meltdown the day Woewodin was traded. 

Joined DL shortly after that on the old site. Really is a credit to the guys here for not only keeping it running this long but turning into the machine it is today with the podcast etc

Yeah I remember being shocked by news on TSJ. He posted not long before he passed and correct me if I’m wrong but I think he said he was doing some stand up comedy at the time!?

I couldn't remember if he was on ology or land, such is my memory.  He was a riot and cringworthy at the same time. Loved the stuff about him going to be drafted, as well as outlandish statements and commentary on his fights on Big Footy.

He was.a regular on bigfooty. The while being drafted thing was the funniest stitch up! A lot fell for it too.

Knackers (later Philthy Knackers) was a funny and knowledgeable poster.

This thread made me think of Knackers. A long time ago I was up very late at night (wife was in labour) and he posted that he had two copies of a book and the first confirmed MFC member could have a copy. Sure enough I was the first and sure enough he sent the book. He was @ol' Grimey Knackers by that stage...doesn't look like he's been active for a while though. 

I think stakka from 'ology became @Curry & Beer here...hasn't logged in for a while either though.

I’d forgotten about two sheds jackson - that was a gut wrenching moment too. These forums do certainly offer a bunch of strangers a sense of connectedness.

I was originally an ologist sometime around early to mid 2000's. Went on here around the same time. My memory was different to others. I remember it being more civil over there and this place had a reputation for too much  juvenile infighting. But I came over at the time of that split around 2008. Thankfully mods have done a great job cleaning things up on here and a few people who needed to be have been moved on. Quality just keeps getting better. Mind you we all have a bit more positive things to say for the first time since '64. Nowadays look here before I look at any of the press. Way better informed and intelligent researched content than any of the fourth estate rags nowadays.

Yes it was a serious message that hit hard. 
i had grown up with all the Python Records, so i knew who “Arthur” 2 sheds jackson was, so i knew this guy had a good sense of humour. 
I should search it out again.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
