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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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. 

the former or the latter?  😄

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,

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.

    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
