Life member. I'd like to reach out to all the lurkers such as myself who don't have much to say but read and therefore benefit, daily. Give to the site that keeps on giving (ludicrous trade scenarios, ranting and raving, extremely premature draft prospects and crusty old farts with no optimism mixed with a bunch of school kids on holidays). It's all good, unfortunate player bashing aside, most of the time and well worth being a part of. Put your money where your keyboards are!

I've just made a subscription, the donations page wouldn't work. Your hard work is probably taken for granted by many on here (including me), thanks for everything you've done for this site.

Hey Demonland...maybe introduce another level... Like all good marketing...upsell !!! lol

Maybe

Annual..and thats fantastic to those that preferor afford this

Life... an honorable option.

but in deferance to our monicker and situation maybe another grade:

I humbly suggest. Hell... Member of Hell....it does as you would think come ...after Life..

Just like the MFC you could offer the opportunity to part with more money for the greater good demon_smile.gif I would...Hell, I spend enought time here..lol

just an idea demon_smile.gif lol

Whilst I agree and would definitely welcome larger contributions I feel that if people are going to take out some type of subscription then they should get something in return. Our subscriptions currently offer the removal of advertisements from the site as well as the use of a mobile skin for smartphones. Adding a package that is more than Life without adding another benefit to the donator just doesn't sit well with me. We do however offer the donate (any amount) link (now added as a link between Subscriptions and Demons below the Demonland Banner) for those that have previously taken out a scubscription and would like to contribute again or for those that would rather donate something under $20.

Thanks again for keeping this place going.

I think we should do a 'pledge' week every year where we try and get new members to pay up and Lifers to give something.

Maybe coincide with a yearly Etihad game.

'Go To Hell - Give To Demonland'

I don't think the two are interrelated - I just wanted to use the term 'go to hell' as a double (or triple) entendre.

PA at Demonland should not be personally out of pocket for Co-Ordinating such a forum. To the Contrary IMO. He or She should be subserdized. How about a fundraiser at Bentleigh Club? A face to face night throwing around all the issues going on at MFC.

While I disagree with the locking of certain opinion blogs without notice the Demonland Site is generally a great place to go to Vent out or praise our beloved.

How about we all start by pledging $50 and after that look to an annual fundraiser?

What about all the intelligentsia ,inciteful comment ,analysis ?

Crusty old farts and schoolkids on holidays aside-you have to admit that the writing here is at least as well researched and written as The Herald Sun-by which I mean ,not at all .

Totally agree. I think we all need a reminder every now and then on the cost and time that is involved in keeping the Demonland world turning. When I first joined I was completely ignorant to these facts. I don't think anyone would have a problem with a yearly reminder and then pledge of anything they can.

Thanks for your sensational work, Andy, Nsher et al, and long may it continue. I've just contributed to make myself a 'double' Life Member (which shows how much I value Demonland) ..... but I sure as hell hope it doesn't take two life-times before we can all celebrate the elusive #13.

Should posters who go under several names buy multiple memberships (or for that matter posters with one avatar but multiple personalities)?

If that happened I could retire and donate the rest to the club and we'd be debt free for life. ;)

It's not looking good for the future of Demonology, and as Andy has noted it takes time and money to run these sites.

The organisers of both sites are talking about what can be done, but consolidation to Demonland may be our only viable option.

If you look at the stats when you sign in it is not unusual now to find 700+ people on line at this site.

It is absolutely essential for all of us that Demonland continues. And with this many people using the site it should be possible to keep it so.

I'm sure that $10 a year is not too much for the pleasure this site brings. Anything more is a bonus, but Andy shouldn't have to come to ask us for help. We're the ones getting the benefit. He's already putting in.

As they say in the classics.....it's all up to us.

I went to buy a life membership, but when I am taken to the PayPal page I am getting the following message:

Confirm your credit or debit card number

To help protect your account, we need to confirm that you are the account holder. To confirm your identity, we will ask you a series of questions.

Please enter your credit or debit card account number in the space provided.

I am very loathe to provide such information; if they wanted to confirm my identity, they could ask other questions rather than my CC number. Is there any way I can do this directly from my PayPal account, using your PayPal ID but not by going through the provided link.. and still have my status updated to Life Member?

Not sure why it is doing this for you. I just followed the link and it all look legit to me.

Anyway, if you PM me I will provide account details to direct debit and then I can manually update your Demonland account to Life Member.

    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
