  • 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.

There has been a lot of statistical and historical input in to Ology, in particular work done by Graeme Smith, and this work was supposed to be available to all concerned when they had re written the site.

it was all about the history of the club and the history of the players; this work will now, not be available unless the new owners allow it and it really doesn't belong to them or in fact the previous owner.

That's my understanding of the situation unless someone wants to correct me.

Now you've had your fun so zip it.

Unless you really have a valid point to raise or something of interest to contribute?

Gotcha Robbie. Was it more in depth (or better) than the Demon Wiki? All I've known of 'Ology is the forum.

I'm honestly not trying to "have fun" or anything like that, I'm just trying to understand the side of it where people are saying the new owners will effect the club itself, and they plan to make heaps of money off it. That's all I've been searching for answers on from the start. I've posted links to the internet laws regarding parts of this situation, I've read all the posts, but I honestly don't understand two things:

1) How a free internet forum suddenly becomes a get rich quick scheme?

2) How an unofficial internet forum effects the image/reputation/running of MFC itself?

I'm honestly not trying to cause trouble. I keep asking those questions, but I get called a troll in response, with no answers.

Didn't post as Mikey on Ology by any chance, Stuie?

Similiar levels of.... well everything actually.

Ah that's who Stuie is! Didn't he also get turfed from the 'Ology? I believe he had the reputation of being the most annoying poster there before Doctor Who took it away from him.

I'm Stuie in both places.

Ironic when you get called a troll while this rubbish is directed at you.

Just read this thread top to bottom and I must say it's a page turner. Having never posted on demonology I found this thread akin to the The Da Vinci code with it's obscure references, shadowy figures, secret societies and red herrings. Dan Brown take note here lies the basis of your next book.

Just a quick post to let anyone who may not know already that the Mario Brothers have handed control of Demonology back to Tim - I think it got a little too hot in the kitchen. Already there have been many offers help to Tim get the site up and running efficiently, so it appears that the site may need to be renamed Lazarus.

I know there were some who didn't have a high opinion of the site, but it would still be nice to occasionally visit and help the site gather some momentum... there is plenty of room for both Demonology and Demonland to co-exist comfortably - as became very apparent in the now locked RIP Demonology thread, many of us here are also members there.

One last thing... please don't turn this topic into another slag/slug fest.

Demonology.me

Most of us have lost our log in privileges at demonology, we are setting up a new forum at address above, will probably replace old software, see you there.

Is that still operational or is it offline while updates are being made... for the past couple of hours at least all I can get is the Crazy Domains website when I try that address. I had assumed that since Tim had taken control of Demonology back into his own hands, that the newer version (dawsi03's site) had been shelved for the time being.

Nah, when I type demonology.me goes straight to it, (note the .me)

Nope... still going to Crazy Domains... strange

I had the same problem for a while. Probably has something to do with isp's and dns', although I have no idea what either of those mean.

I've joined up (pending approval!) and look forward to discussing some footy again.

Must say that I had lost the will during the Neeld years and the time difference being in the UK.

No luck yet?

It's strange... I am on my work PC at the moment and having no problems accessing the site; it appears to be from my home MacBook Pro/PC (I'm running a dual boot system with Windows 7 in Bootcamp). It may be just a cache issue, but it is happening in both Safari on the Mac side and Firefox on the Windows side. Anyway, will check it out this evening when I get home.

No... all good now though... it is all working now despite the fact I didn't have to clear my cache or do anything special. Weird.

dns servers (the ones that translate an ip name to an IP address) can take time to receivet updates

the ones at your isp might have been one of the later ones

    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,

    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
