A bit more analysis shows that we are the 6th most popular single club site; several of the top sites relate to general AFL matters

Been here since day dot.

Other than the odd run in with a mod or 2 my life would be incomplete without this site.

Time to donate again.

Thanks all through the good times and the bad.

Go the Deez!

Suprised Big Footy isn't number 1. The amount of traffic in Bay 13 alone is ridiculous.

Been on here for almost ten years and although my postings have slackened off considerably since the early days, I still read Demonland several times a day.

Thanks to Andy, Jack and the rest of the crew for keeping Demonland going since the Aimoo days.

If I remember correctly DemonWorshipper, you had the highest post count (by far?) on the Aimoo forum. You dropped off as soon as we cut across.

This forum software is a massive improvement on the Aimoo stuff. My only regret is that I was not able to continue to host the site anymore - it's nice to feel like you're giving something to the community. These days the best I can offer is to be a punching bag for anyone who wants to bitch about the moderators :P Being called a "High Tower wannabe" for my moderating style is probably up there with my highlights on Demonland. :D

Sites doing a great job but cant rate results that highly.

Ah the old forum post count, are we able to bring that up in the way back machine somehow?

RE HT wannabe that absolutely made my night.

PS congrats Andy et al on a fantastic site and big part of my week for many years!

Well done guys - keep up the good work.

Although the official MFC site has improved "out of sight" this year, with lots more video content; much better and more timely coverage of events, it will never have the "edgeiness"and open forum nature, you have achieved. All in all, a good result for everyone !

i thought we might see a joeboy 2 word analysis for old times this week. thats a 50% expansion on your words you are using these days joeboy. does that make it easier or harder do you think?

The day has finally come. Demonland.com now outranks the MFC Official website. The ranking is worked out by their 1 month traffic rank. The 1 month rank is calculated using a combination of average daily visitors and pageviews over the past month. Demonland is now 14th (our highest ever rank) out of all the AFL sites and the highest of the fan sites. The list can be found below.

That's awesome :)

If I recall correctly, you started this site as web-design assignment or something! You used to have counter at the time of how many hits the site had and we all got so excited when it hit 100 hits, 200 hits etc!

Well done Andy & Dad :)

Just thought I'd add that its probably time I write another article for Demonland. But perhaps the site is only doing well because I haven't written an article in so many years (and noone really read them anyway)...

(and yay - I just reached 20 posts! I bet I'm the only moderator to boast about a feat like that!)

I guess it's welcome back santiago ! :)

Good to know you're still posting. I'd encourage you to write an article, anything written for Demonland about the Demons is worth reading.

Hope to read a bit more from you. It must have been a while since your last. ;)

Sincerely well done Andy and to all that contribute, particularly WJ and those that make Demonland what it is today. Well done Admins, Mods and all members./

True... perhaps it's because I went from being single, to being married, having a toddler and now another baby on the way. :wacko:

Congrats for, well everything Finksy, hopefully we'll see you back in the mix a bit more soon. Take care.

Harden up man, I have had three and still counting since I started working with Demonland! ;)

Geez babe, I clearly remember sending you my congratulations for the first one.....

That would be some number of years ago now :blink: !!!

Posted (edited)

Fascinating to have a read through.....

I couldn't remember what I went by back then, but there she was, pretty obvious looking back now!!!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, and to those folk who help make this site as great as it is.....

Which is everyone in reality, but a special shout out to the admin core. They do a genuinely great job.

Ha Ha. I have a print out somewhere of a screenshot of when we hit 666 visitors. How far we've come. Now we get about 35,000 page views a day.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
