Hi Guys,

With the new season almost upon us I've been working hard the past few days to come up with a new homepage design that blends well into the rest of the site (ie: the forums).

Check it out here: http://www.demonland.com or just click the Home button above.

It basically gives a summary of the rest of the site (ie: recent posts and articles) as well as Demons and AFL news, the Demonland twitter feed as well as an Upcoming Events Calendar.

Let us know what you think.

Go Dees!

Andy

It's a bit heavy on information. Useful if you know what you want to look for, but imagine being a newby and confronted with that. It's a touch overwhelming. Also I think the shade of red being used is too bright. It really leaps off the page in contrast to the dark blue. Tends to give me a headache.

Aside from that, I love the look of the place.

Have to agree that there's a bit of an overload of info on the homepage. Probably don't need to show active members there, for one.

I do like the links to Demon-related news articles, though.

I agree. Just kinda hit me in the face for a second before I realised what was happening. Info is good, just theres lots of it....

other thing I just found out, which might be handy for others, forum pages formats doesn't seem to be compatible with google chrome. or its just me...

Works fine with Google Chrome on a Mac. Will try it out on the PC at work tomorrow. I see no reason why it wouldn't display properly but I will stand corrected if it doesn't.

Not sure what everyone's bitching and complaining about. I love the fact that the homepage is now like a portal for all things Demons. I get the latest forum posts, the latest articles, match previews and reports and the latest Demons news all on the one page.

Thank you Demonland. Most of us appreciated the hard work you have put in over the past few weeks to bring us this wonderful site.

BTW works fine with Google Chrome on a PC too.

Whilst reading this I was thinking that you need to get an iPhone as it displays the site beautifully.

As for your display picture. In the settings where you put the picture up there are two options change photo and change avatar. The photo is your display picture for the top right of the page and the avatar is for the picture below you name when you post. It's stupid that there are two options for essentially the same thing.

The problem with older phones/traditional phone phones is that they aren't made or designed to view webpages as they are meant to be viewed on a computer screen. The iPhone and other smart phones are made to be able to view web content as they are on a screen.

I love the new design. Lots of information, easy to understand, simple to navigate. Being from interstate, I especially appreciate the news links.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
