  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

I don't even have the tank to run this site down, despite your hyperbole.

Not sure the audience is "captive" either, or that it's not captive on 'ology?

But I have always found 'ology a bit on the "odd" side, and not focused enough on the footy.

That's all I really care about in the end.

I'm not sure what you mean?

NB. What sort of building are you in, dee-luded?

Simple. the thread was meant to be a bout people who are intersted in Re building "Ology... Not about if you thought it shouldn't exist.

It was a message looking for support from interested parties.

It wasn't looking for your cold water. The thread ended up being flooded by chat, rather than interested parties adding they're contact availabilities.

I joined 'land and didn't read the rules. Pretty soon I felt like I had been violated and shamed when I had a deletion for going a bit overboard on Morton or Bailey or some such champ. I glanced ov

Surely having a single forum doesn't restrict thought? But I'm not trying to be biased to demonland, or one single forum. It's an objective philosophical question. Why need another forum, when ther

Just a question princess, and if anything it kept the thread near the top of the page so that more people would see it.

Go on and have a sook though.

You're good at that.

Did you ever post on Ology Joe?

Your posting style would have got you in to a lot of arguments there and I think that would have suited you.

I hope it is resurrected it is a good site and whilst I'll never post there again I do have the occasional look through to see what's happening. I'd even throw in a couple of bucks to get it going if it will keep Bluey and IRW away from here.

and this is why I can't help but laugh when i read posts from 'landers having a crack at 'ologists for resorting to personal attacks in favour of discussion

the odd barney aside there is far more sniping on these boards IMO

I reckon referring to members as "ologists" or "landers" is forumist. Can't we all just be "Melbourne supporters"? :P

You have my vote Nasher

But I guess I should not be surprised why would MFC supporters be any different to the rest of Australia

My lasting memory of Demonology for some reason is Demon2 back in 2004 blasting another poster (can't remember their name) because they went to Wesley and wouldn't buy two memberships. I have absolutely no idea why I can even remember that.

You know Joe, if I didn't care whether Ology lived or died, I not only wouldn't have posted on here, I wouldn't have opened the thread.

I don't think 'Olgy is anywhere near as aggressive now as it once was RF.

A couple of long overdue key bannings saw to that.

I thought Mikey got a raw deal tho'.

Just an over enthusiastic kid that loved the club.

I find Bluey & IRW rather amusing and am happy they made their move here.

Bluey for his Eeyore persona and IRW for his skill at bamboozeling his jousting opponents who like me don't understand WTF he's on about.

That's probably because I don't post there anymore. lol

Bluey's a clown (actually I think most of what he says is purely to get a rise out of other posters) and can be amusing at times, but IRW he's just a pain in the ass.

They're certainly not the reason I left, Bluey never really worried me his posts were generally no more than 2 lines at best, the other one was just full of it, but it just became tiresome fighting every time I posted.

What possible use could those skills be for an online forum? Maybe you could send us some of those yummy pie-floaters.

You would think that if you had to choose, there would be a preference for another forum, on the footy club we all love, to survive?

It's as if some form of internet forum competition exists with some people here, and even on Demonology. It's ridiculous

touche. I wasn't intentionally painting myself into the 'ologist camp, just noting that while I see plenty of stones cast from the respective boards neither can claim the high ground on personal attacks. here i see more sniping, there i see recurring salvos in long running wars. perhaps the main difference is the weight of numbers

that, and the fact the people here seem to hate Morton more that Dee_Flower hates Rivers ;)

Agreed and there is absolutely no competition or animosity between the site owners and "staff". In fact it is the exact opposite. Over the years we have worked together on many projects and functions. Demonland co-founder Whispering Jack is working very hard to get Demonology back up and running. There is definitely room for both sites to coexist and complement each other and the official site.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
