Hi, I'm DA, and I'm a Demonologist.

I first tried Demonolgy back in 2004. I had dabbled with other forums on the internet, just for recreation, but found myself chasing something more.

So one day, I tried Demonology, I thought I could just try it once or twice and move on, but before I knew it, I was hooked.

I'd find myself out at all hours of the night, with one thing on my mind, "I need to check Demonology."

I'd steal my friends mobile phones if they had internet, or WAP as the kids called it back then. It wasn't the same as the good sh-t (my pc), but it was a quick relief.

I'd find myself sneaking out of bed, needing a fix just to take the edge off, if my girlfriend caught me in the act I'd tell her it was nothing, "it's just porn" I'd tell her.

I've had many highs and lows on Demonology, but the highs just aren't what they were at first any more.

So now I take my methadone... I mean Demonland once a day, and try to lead a normal life. But I must admit, I still give 'ology the odd sniff.

I have owned you on many occasions.

I LOLed!

I remember back in the good old days, there were literally 15 posters on this site, they were all old and knowledgeable and I was a pleb.

Quality must have significantly decreased since then because I don't think I could make the top 15 idiot list on this site anymore.

I enjoy reading both forums(?fora).

I love the opportunity to see the opinions of so many people as obsessed with the fortunes of the Demons as I am.

I've learned a lot about football and the MFC from erudite people like WJ sand G Smith.

I was unaware of bitter in-fighting at Demonology. Some posters are unable to express a differing opinion without denigrating someone who has a different viewpoint. It happens at 'Land too. I just skip those posts.

So "Hey All"....I say, keep your links to 'Ology!

yeah it's pretty amazing when you think about it, having forums to read and contribute to just increases your insight, knowledge and overall engagement with supporting the club, especially if you don't know a huge number of Dees supporters personally, which must be very common considering our relatively sparse supporter base. You know everyone here has a particular strong addiction to the Dees, unlike a lot of more fairweather types that support all clubs, you need people who obsess over every detail. It has strengthened my love for the game/club a lot.

Care to name the top 15?

Don't be so harsh on yourself, I am sure you can still give that list a good shake! :P

I'm sensing some jealousy.

I suppose it must be hard not being significant enough to make a top 15 list. No matter how bad that list may be :P

im sure it would be easy to get onto that list. all one has to do is make broad generalisations that are completely wrong.

for example.

jack watts is crap and should be delisted. has shown nothing.

dean bailey is hopeless and needs to get the sack.....we should poach sheedy from GWS.

etc

It gets a bit dull after a while Chopper. I might pop up here a little more often too.

The traffic has certainly slowed at O'logy. For example 6 threads have been posted on today at O'logy. And there would be lucky to be - on a quick count - 20 posts registered there today. That is a treacle. That said, it is the off season. However, in comparison...there is an avalanche of posts posted here today.

To be fair, some of Ology's best posters go into hibernation out of season.

For the record, I post here but not over there where they already have a Deeman and I would struggle if I took on a different identity over there.

Anyone for BF? No, didn't think so :unsure:

the Melbourne bigfooty board was once the crown jewell of that place (along with the limbo club).

I joined 'Ology at the end of Danihers rein with a serious need to vent .

My savage beast was soon soothed with his sacking and I slowly got addicted to the discussions though posters like TGR and his idol Guant drove me insane with their self love . It also seemed at the time if your posts didn't number in the several thousands your opinion was irrelevant.

Though I would check in at times , it's only been of late that I've migrated here drawn to the more consistant traffic in the off season and have enjoyed what I've found . Looking forward to the season now .

P.s. IRW crackes me up .

Well, just seven posts so far today on Demonology... but the strange thing is that where previously during the off-season there was a great deal of activity in the General forum (and it could get very heated/lively), there has not been a single post in that forum today (and just one post yesterday). Sadly, the way things are looking and unless someone can open it up to new memberships, I fear it will be lucky to see in season 2011.

Why do you think there has been no traffic on the general board Hardtack?

Think about it?

Who were the posters that kept the site active during the off season and where are they now.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
