I'm a little worried about Demonland. It's always been an emotional roller-coaster ride with an eclectic group of passionate posters but it seems the sniping and abuse is at an all time high.

We need to remember we're on the same side.

I'm proposing a pre-season camp.

Over the next week I'd like to see everyone take a little trip over to bigfooty. I'd like to see everybody rally together to take on all comers. I'd like to see us band together to show the footyballing world that we are indeed as feral as Caroline Wilson would have her readers believe. I'd like to see BH and TimD fight the same battle. I'd like to see threads coming to a close because opposition supporters feel outnumbered and out-argued.

Pre-season camp sign on is below:

Sorry to nitpick but Wilson didn't call us "feral".

The word was "rabid".

Not sure about the location of the camp, but I'm all for the "goodvibes".

I'm as guilty as the next bloke of having a crack, despite many efforts to turn it around. The only chance of it working is if we all got on the same page at the same time. Usually the "leaf turners" get shot down by the "worn outs" and the cycle continues. We all know following the Dees will probably never be a rosegarden, at least anytime soon, but we could make an effort to minimize the pricks.

As long as I don't have to share a tent with Bitter But Optimistic

Don't worry Dandee. While I have been known to do a bit of camping in the past, the good life in Romsey has softened me up - so to speak. Anyway it would have to be a 5 star tent - spa, steamroom, massage etc.

By the looks of him he'll pitch a tent wherever and whenever he likes...

Is this an olive branch Stuie? Do you really love me?

Haha we have a passionate relationship BBO, let's just say that. Of course, we could make olive oil with that branch... hmmmm...

Jeezus Stuie settle down. I'm having a bit of a joke here. FFS I didn't to provide an opportunity for some of your unhealthy and repressed desires to bubble up.

Geeze, with Stuie going all mushie and on the prowl, and Rangey back with manners and reason, one might think that the heavy hand of management has straightened the joint out. Or is it just the hot weather frying a few brains?

Demonland, please accept my apology for starting this thread. Clearly I didn't think this through. The BBO/stuie stuff was not quite what I had in mind. I know there's plenty of kids on this site and they didn't need to read the last few posts. Put simply, I fear for the children.

I'm glad the threat of bigfooty seems to have done the trick and the behaviour of posters today seems to have been pretty good!

Head over to the Saints NAB Cup thread and disabuse yourself of that notion.

Gloves are off over there.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
