Gladly post on both, am glad we have two. Different opinions and personalities on both, separating them is a bonus as long term bickering would destroy the one site, at least having 2 sites dilutes t

BBO, if ever someone questions me on the effects of being a lifelong Demons supporter, you're my Exhibit A.

Appreciate the responses. I understand that alternative options can be important, but I still see it as a shame if the considered views of Ology posters are not being shared on here also. United front and all that.

which partner would that be. i lost count.... doesn't matter... anyway i'm sure you'll look resplendent in a sheepskin coat and boots

Are you making a veiled accusation of promiscuity DC.. If so, I will employ the Fink to take appropriate action. If not, I will pass the matter over to Biffen whose methods may be questionable. A financial settlement will be satisfactory.

Looks like a bunch of lunatics and losers to me. Wonder if I'd get in?

Us lunatics might take offense at that ... but then again, we are all Demons supporters ... :)

I share your interests R&B. Choral Music - Love the robes those Gregorian fockers wear. Lord of the Rings - Still pondering the true relationship between Sam and Frodo. Cycling - It's a [censored] getting a helmet on. And of course - the Dees.

I think everything mentioned above is about the continued existence, but the reason the two communities exist is because they both spawned from two very differing methods of online networking, back in the late 90s/early 00s and both sites were alive and vibrant by the time they both became forum based. Both are proud communities and there hasn't been any need in the past to merge the two sites.

Yeah, they were two sites that were based, predominantly, around the match reports of two different people - George on the Outer on Demonology, and Whispering Jack on Demonland. There were also the VFL reports of Barry from Beach Road on Demonland. They only got forums later on.

I used to post so much more on Ology than I do here; I'm happy to read some of the reports here and post a few of my own thoughts without having confrontation when I do.

Ology was a much better site when I first started posting there and hopefully it will get back to its former self now new posters can join, I'm happy here but I can see that here are some who prefer there.

I used to read it after I left there but very rarely even look at it now and when I do it has most f the same stories that are on here. This site doesn't have the same level of testosterone as Ology.

Why not two?

Why not three?

Why not four?

The "big boys" (Carlton, Coll, etc) have multiple user forums. Whereas North, Dogs, etc, have to content themselves with ghettos on bigfooty.

We need to be one of the big clubs, in every way.

Don't gret this thread and sort of with you on this. Who cares how many forums we have and frankly it was lucky when Ology had problems Demonland was available for some of their people. Now ology is also embracinging folk from elsewhere. Nice co-operation it would seem to me. Is their some pissing competition going on here ?Whats the problem?

I got in ... so lunatics are definitely allowed.

Thanks Nasher for the reinstatement.

It's good to be back.

Not you-I just got out of therapy and now this.

Both sites have existed successfully for over a decade - why bring the subject up now ?

Demonology only went down as a result of a significant illness suffered by the site owner so the cheap shots are a tad rude.

Just a few childish posters.

TGR on 'ology loves slagging this place off, some here return the favour.

After TGR, there was another prolific poster there that used to slag 'land and its posters off regularly.

After a few years of putting this place and its posters down, he doesn't post on 'ology anymore, restricting his posts to 'land.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
