Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.


R.I.P. Demonology



Recommended Posts

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...

That was definitely Tim.

How will the monkeys make money?

Well, for a start they have disgruntled demonology members making offers to buy the site for twice what they paid, in order to save something they obviously love.

Either way, if you don't care, push off.

Go troll the Facebook page, stuie.

You're quite good at that.

Still waiting for you to tell me this Dr Evil's plan on making one million dollars from that trash can free internet forum....

It's clear you have no idea how commerce on the Internet works, so maybe leave it. However, no-one mentioned millions. Except you.

I'm at a loss to understand why you keep opening this thread, yet alone contributing to it. One post would have sufficed to express your opinion.

Because, like whoey, Stuie (they rhyme, don't they) likes people to bite.

I think he was regularly ignored as a child, and then discovered the internet - where, by being continually annoying and insulting, he is finally noticed.

Obviously Demonology is a small bickies site, but this is an interesting read nonetheless:

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.

All of this happened while I was not online and my head in MBA books over the weekend.

It is a sad day(s). Just so you all know, my admin rights have been removed and hence can not do anything about this.

Demonology was fun while it lasted, it seems this bloke has taken advantage of an ill man and we will just have to accept that demonology as it was will not likely exist again.

Thanks for all of the good discussion to the regulars!

you may be right RG,but the writing styles are remarkably similiar over a long period of time.

I have never questioned Satyr's loyalty to the club. He is too loyal in my opinion.

He would still be blindly supporting Schwab and the previous board if the hadn't been removed.

Dr Who is just a social nightmare..he was here last summer.

Sorry WYL, it is post season, I actually have a life outside of footy, nothing much going on here except theoreticals, you support the Club incumbents at that time, it was Schwab, I understoond why he was sacked, but I have actually let it go...unlike some

I get the feeling that Saty finally realized that a lot of what he was getting fed was BS. I say that sincerely and as RGRS knows him personally, perhaps he can probably confirm or deny this. I think the last of his last 'provocative' posts came just before Neeld got the sack. That presser might have opened his eyes a bit, especially the bit when PJ called us a 'drag on the competition'. There was no point going on with the 'everything is awesome' schtick anymore as even he would have realized he would have just looked like a dill.

Provocative..........if some posters on here weren't so gullible, I wouldn't have half the fun I have........... been busy with my life so haven't posted so much, daughter got married so that took precedence, now have rugby league loving son-in-law who managed to drop MFC reference into his speech so I can forgive him

I'll start positng more often when the hand wringing starts again just after the Draft....

So glad you supported Schwab & Co after 186 Satr considering you were inside the coalface.

Don't hurry back. We will survive.

WTF -- have the brothers taken over here too? What kind of ridiculous censorship is this to blank out '[censored]'?

Stick a fork in me. I'm done.

If you are happy for me to pass over your IP Address if we get sued for your libelous accusations then I will uncensor your posts.

Is looks to me as a power binge to monopolize the MFC supporter media market. In their hands they have their own Website, facebook, twitter, Youtube. (All D2D) 'Ology wasnt in their liking of their morals, and the rest is history.

You may take their forum but you cant take their freedom. (I'm sure William Wallace would agree)

Anyway, I'm off to slag of some underperforming players. in a polite and nice way.

Actually, if you've read the thread you will see it was mentioned the new owner had a goal to make a million dollars.

I do have e-commerce experience actually, but a free internet forum is not e-commerce. But please explain to me how a free internet forum goes from making $0 to big bucks at the change of ownership? Clicks do NOT equal dollars.

The reason I keep posting is because STILL no has explained to me how this sinister evil genius is going to make heaps of money and ruin MFC by taking over a rubbish internet forum.

I dont think people who cared and invested time in the site give a toss what your point is Stuie. Do you even have to ruin this thread with your non stop rubbish, please spare us

Stuie why do you have so much interest in this, I've posted a few times but that's maybe because I was, up until 4 or so years ago, a regular poster. Let me assure you if I hadn't posted on there I wouldn't even be bothered opening this thread more than once.

What's you problem, these guys have lost their home, the place they go to all the time to speak to their mates about the Dees so perhaps a little bit of understanding might be in order. Ology is not everyone's cup of tea but it means a lot to those that regularly post/read there.

Button up.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
