  • 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.

In some respects I agree. The point though is that the persons creating the havoc appear to be motivated by the opportunity to make money (for who and what we don't know?) and have leveraged the opportunity off their association with and volunteer work for and inside the MFC.

This goes to more than a simple of issue of the web being the wild west and may have implications of governance for the MFC?

Probably not.

So what though? They don't work for the club, they're not running the site on behalf of MFC. Why does it matter?

Granted, less serious than if they were paid employees but volunteers must still adhere to a code of practice. I've already said I don't know on whose behalf they are acting. Do you? If not, it does matter.

On whose behalf they are acting for what??! It's a free internet forum. It has NO power. I know it's annoying they're mucking the place up, but it has no implications for MFC whatsoever.

Just ignore me and resume panic.

im not panicked. I don't think Dr Who having my ology password is going to result in my properties being sold to Nigerian gangsters.

But I, and many others, spend years and years contributing to the site. Forgive us if we're miffed that its been destroyed.

For a bloke who claims not to care you've spent all day posting in this thread.

Take a breather fella.

OK then, what action can we take? Proposal:

Don't renew membership. When called by the club (maybe even by D2D) tell them you won't renew untill the club has clarified the association between the club and the [censored]. Then stick to it.

Alternative: state you don't give a damn and stop clogging up these threads.

Cheers. Noticed you quoted BH in your profile. Did you understand his post or did you only notice the error in grammar?

That part of it I have no problem with, and I have said that more than a few times here. You have every right to be cut about what's happened to 'Ology, but the panic about "mystery men" and "D2D" and "MFC governance" is kinda crazy.

That is absolute sheer stupidity.

MFC has nothing to do with 'Ology, and to take away your support for the club because of it is ridiculous.

My thoughts exactly Chook.

If you don't like it nor understand it, then resume your annoying behavior on other threads and continue with your childish video clips.

Or even better, head over and sign up, you'll be right at home with the current hierarchy.

Ah well, so it's dead and gone then. Move on I say. Wouldn't have thought so many would cry over it.

As my old man would say: you're so full of it you should be a nightcart.

I'd rather name you a troll.

Someone please ask Tim Stanes if he knows Gareth is the brother of the person who trashed the site all year and ask him how we can faith in someone who has denied that he was the brother of DrWho when we know that to be a lie.

Sadly Tim has no idea of the types of lowlifes he is dealing with!

Ed. and let him know we all wish him well.

I'll call him tomorrow for you KD. PM me exactly what you want to know aside from above.

Hello everyone,

My apologies for not sharing this with you earlier, but I suppose it is better late than never; and while I'm at it, I am very sorry for my long absence from the site. I hope this post will explain both!

As some of you may remember my health has been on the slide for some time. I finally have had a diagnosis after all this time. I have multiple sclerosis.

The diagnosis has cleared a lot of issues up for me. In this case, my increased inability to maintain Demonology.

A stage in the illness came at an unfortunate time; when I was rewriting the site to run on the I.S.P.s servers, which no longer supported the language in which I had written the it. Sadly I lost the ability to write code. I could not understand why. Now I do. Consequently much of the original functionality an all of my planned improvements were not completed.

I had been feeling guilty for letting you all down, but there was nothing I could do about it. However hard I tried.

It was not long after my diagnosis (which was in May/June) that Gareth approached me, via some people who I know quite well and whose judgement I trust.

Needless to say, it was with great relief that I passed the site over to Gareth.

I understand there has been some confusion and consequently come conflict regarding the new management of the site. I've not read the related posts and at this stage am not up to delving into the issue.

All I can do is ask that you take Gareth's posts in good faith an be aware that he has my support.

On a more personal note, I have just had my first treatment for multiple sclerosis and am hopeful of regaining some of the cognitive functionality I lost. My pain medication has also been increased which has helped a great deal. Who knows, I may even be able to get to a game of footy next year!

Kind regards

Tim Stanes

This was thrown up on Ology. If its true he has stuffed up big time...

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
