I don't know one poster here, so sorry if I don't know the bleeding obvious about everyone's actual identity.

um...hannibal is not his actual identity either

 

I haven't posted on Demonology for 4 or 5 years and you still want to blame for your failings.

Interesting that; I didn't do the walk to the G this year because I took my wife and she didn't want to get her there too early. Not sure who you were talking too.

Not necessarily this year Robbie and I remember you getting into a blue over the early contract extension for Bailey(I didnt post on that at all and thought you were being unfairly attacked for a reasonable point of view...probably because of your General Board attitude)..you announced you were "off"and you never returned

You have been blaming me and HHNF ("the other one" ) ever since.

A bit sad really.

Well I did the walk last year and the year before but apart from my family and GSmith and Tilly I didn't talk to anyone else I reckon you've got the wrong grey head. Mines white anyway.

Anyway, off you go and enjoy your life.
 

Office politics. Aren't I glad I retired 4 years ago.

What's with the smoke and mirrors stuff?!

I actually couldn't give a stuff who anyone is to be honest. In fact, I regret asking the innocent question in the first place.

This is the type of posting that turned me off Demonology in the first place. Ironic really.

Ben-Hur posted under Hannabal and Trav20 on here as well as a couple that I can't recall, Black Duck or something like that was one and there were a few others that have gone by the by.

I just had a look at Demonology and in particular one thread on the General Board that was just disgusting; no wonder they are censoring it, it should be closed down if that's the level that the debate has descended to.

Healthy debate is ok but some of the foul language used there is just inexcusable, the usual suspects, the ones banned from here.
 

Meh.

I found the 'Land via the 'Ology. The 'Ology seemed too exclusionary for me. A bunch of blokes who thought they were the font of all wisdom and if you didn't have a high post count, then your opinion was disregarded.

I have seen bits and pieces of Doctor Who's work when I have occasionally lurked the boards. The future looks grim.

Dr Who in charge??

What fun!!

Satyriconhome has been less prominent here of late.


If you're a mod over there, you're needed urgently.

I don't think Smithy would be involved in those shenanigans.

That penny may finally drop

Well, was, until a few hours ago before the site thief revoked my access. Don't worry about that though, there are other ways and means to skin this cat. It just has to wait until I get home.

I meant he is not involved in the take over

now is the time to use those carefully placed back-doors eh nasher

give em hell

A little while ago I was approached by a poster who wanted to be put into contact with Demonology's owner about the prospect of revitalising the site. I would be mortified if that person is now the owner and has put irresponsible people in charge of its administration and moderation. Looking at the site however, I've not seen evidence of this taking place although I do see that quite a few posters who have been banned on here find themselves new homes over there.

I hope the change of ownership proves not to be true. I like some of the robust discussion that goes on there from time to time.

That is exactly what has transpired Jack although Tim tells me that he was introduced to [censored] by George on the Outer. It appears that the [censored] Brothers have taken advantage of Tim's illness and coerced from him all the passwords necessary to control the site. No money has changed hands it was simply a case of Tim being unable to cope and succumbed to the pressure applied.

Incidentally whilst Tim remains most unwell at least his problem has now been diagnosed and he knows what he is up against.

The site may well continue under the control of these undesirables however many of the long term posters who have not already abandoned ship will now do so.

A sad ending to a relationship which many of us have been involved in for close to a decade.

Apologies to Demonlanders who have no interest however there are a number who have used both sites.

Been trying to get hold of you all day Nasher.

Didn't it die a couple of years ago?

 

Can't log in over there now. Looks like you might need Who's sonic screwdriver to enter the site.

I am the same - looks like a login then nothing.

Have only been an occasional poster for the last couple of years on both sites but regularly kept an eye on 'ology. It would be a real pity if this can't be resolved.

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
