Eh. It didn't really mean much, other than posting just to get my numbers up and enter the top 15 or 20 "most frequent" list.

This place does the same thing but with updated software. Except I'll post here much less now I don't have that motivation, as I'm not the most educated / observant on football matters and would rather read good insight then try and manufacture some.

It was discussed, but its not relevant to the majority; thus am completely in my right to question why it isn't on the general board.

Oh, I must have missed the part in your post where you mentioned that. Again, it's not as if Demonology posts are cluttering up the forum, and as has been suggested by myself and others, don't read them if you are not interested...these forums are not here just for your benefit.

Dont let ignorance of football matters stop you making a comment here-it's nearly a pre-requisite.

Hmm. Those vocal minorities eh?

It is an easy fix and some us with the skills to do it have offered. But without access to the site nothing can be done, and the site owner is reluctant to put that on offer, so the status quo remains.

If it were up to me I'd call time on 'ology and import the database in to a read only forum on 'land, so that the defunct site is immortalised in a readable, searchable manner. Then all Smith's stats could probably be salvaged too.

Oh, OK, I thought some of you guys already had access & had already stated doing some work on it, 3 or 4 weeks before it went down.

My mistake.

It is good to have 2 sites to have the breathing space. It's sort of refreshing to go to another site (not slow big footy) for a change of everything.

The demise of the site was predicted for quite a while due to both structure and content. At the end of the day, the structure failed and the posters can join here, so the world keeps turning.

Trying to win a dick-measuring contest, I guess.

The more of something, the better.

Actually I grew out of rapid posting on 'ology a few years ago when I evolved from a overly-enthusiastic teen to a pretentious [censored]. But boys will be boys.

I remember when you started posting. Typical teenager who felt the need to post in every thread with inane stuff like "I agree", "good point" "reckon we can win this week if the boys play well" etc. Gave me the shits!

Then you evolved into a pretentious [censored] and grew up to be good bloke and very good poster.

See this is the thing I'll miss about Ology. Got to know a bunch of strangers in that little community and we've all evolved and grown up (or old) together. Off the top of my head Nasher, Hatch, D2, KD, Couttsy, me and now Williamson (apologies to whoever I missed) have all married and had kids since we last played finals.

So some people here might think we should just shut up, join in or go away but the fact is we've invested a lot of time, energy and emotion in that cracked out old site and if we want to talk about Ology this is the only place to do so.

I've already moved on - Land isn't so bad when you give it a chance (the ignore function is a godsend). But others haven't and won't, and that shouldn't be held against them.

We have developed a strong community of strangers here too.

I think you will find it familiar.

So hopefully you can find a place here.

Unless of course I am a subject of the ignore function...and you can't read this...

but it was a great group.....maybe we can have a 1 year reunion next year....at the QB clash :D

I miss 'ology, but like most, realise the world evolves and things change. Good to see many of the old 'ology posters over here.

I'm Not the type to give up on things worthwhile...

I grew up in an Era where quality was it & disposable wasn't the norm. Not the throw it away & buy a new one off the shelf syndrome.

'Ology is worth it to have an alternative & vica versa.

Is anyone here, 'GSmith', in contact with Tim, how he's going & can we help?

Being a member at both sites, whilst only for a few years, has given me plenty of interest in reading, with both laughs and anguish; given the teams predicament and form in that time. {Come to think of it I joined to be involved and voice concern for my club mid 2008, having already read the 12 months prior since ND left}.

Fact is, there's always been some sort of talk here re: O'logy and vice versa at O'logy re: Land.

Personally, I recognise all the time, energy and emotion made by posters at O'logy and enjoy reading every time those reflect 'old times'. As I do here occassionally, such as this one.

I welcome the talk and I hope the data there is retrieved in some way. I liked Nasher's suggestion of having it here if that was ever to come to fruition, so people can read and reflect on.

I'd also suggest those here embrace any new members and their contributions, because there's definitely some quality views and opinions worth reading and discussing.

Nothing more frustrating than fellow supporters - and we are Mfc members/supporters - telling others to shut it as in this case.

Remember both sites represent by its content and members - Melbournefc. Embrace it I say.

If there's data/pictures etc.. that need to be saved/archived I'm happy to host it as part of Demonwiki. Somebody PM me if there are any more details.

I've evolved from a pretentious [censored] to an opinionated toss-pot here .So there is room for growth . Edited by Biffen

People. Just to let you know that you should not give up on Demonology. There are discussions taking place and a meeting will be organised shortly to see what can be done.

In the meantime, please feel welcome to discuss the nostalgic past and keep the conversation going here.

I'll post when I can report something a little more concrete.

What I don't understand is this.....

If you try to get on to the Demonology site, you still see the opening page.

On that there are about 15 posts on current topics, just the headings, but with no replies. If you try to read the posts you bring up the error page.

But it looks like people are still posting.

Can anyone explain this to me.?

you can start a thread>type in the thread title. But just can't post. some of the thread titles have been quite amusing, but suspect it has a short shelf life.

There are a few people working behind the scenes to restore the site dee-luded, thanks for asking, however we need Tim's assistance and at this point he remains unwell and we are reluctant to push the issue.

The stats mentioned are actually a list of players for every game in each season from 1897 to 2009 with goals scored and from 1992 onwards there are full games stats, kicks, marks, tackles etc including Brownlow votes.

There are also 100 odd player profiles to which the images I have saved were to be up loaded.

Over 100 hours have been invested in these stats by myself and countless hours by Tim, hence my reluctance to see it all down the gurglar.

Go Demons.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
