    WOW. The past catches up with us all. Lively political discussion about the Szondy-Gutnick confrontation, a fair bit of personal abuse (where were the mods then?) and this gem from Deebest commenting on Spunjy's (now Axis of Bob) draft preview:-

    Bartel is the biggest certainty to be going to Geelong. I perhaps wonder about Del Santo at nine (Melbourne's pick). The height thing - he might be too short considering we need key positions?

    Well, history shows that we didn't take Del Santo at #9 but took Luke Molan instead and while D S might be criticised for a few aspects of his play, I don't think we should have worried about his height or lack thereof.

    And just a little quiz - in the same draft, Melbourne selected a player who went on to play in a premiership team. Who was he?

    Nah, it was that one. We moved straight from Aimoo (the setup in that snapshot) to this setup at the end of '05.

    I joined Demonland and Demonology at the same time in 2003.

    Just on the archive, checkout some of the 'political' threads there. Jeez Fan (then Deefan) was an agro bugger back then! :D

    Takes me back to stinking hot days logging onto the old bucket of bolts that was the Pentium, checking out the latest from the Oracle. Good stuff.

    (edit: oh! and i wish the Nick Gill article was archived!)

    Great pick up Rusty.

    Its a pity that when moved from Aimoo we lost the history archive there could be some real flashbacks and some embarrassing recalls.

    Good salvage nevertheless.

    Geez Anonymous was active back then.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
