A BIG THANK YOU


Demonland

Recommended Posts

A big thank you to all those who contributed to Demonland during the past season and also to everyone who posts here and even to those who visit but don't post.

We value your contributions and ongoing support - especially to Nasher who keeps us going on the technichal side, our moderators whose task is often thankless - especially so when we go through a season such as the last few we've experienced.

Particular thanks to our regular contributors, Whispering Jack, George on The Outer, The Oracle, JVM and KC from Casey. With the exception of KC they've often had to report on games and subjects that have been difficult to write about in 2013 but I reckon the coming ones will be more uplifting and exciting stories than those gone by in recent times.

As always, we're hoping for a bigger and better season in 2014 and are always looking out for new contributors who have something to say about the mighty Demons.

If you want to contribute an article feel free to contact me via PM.

Cheers & thanks again.

Sharing my grief and disbelief with fellow Demonlanders is all that kept me sane (albeit only slightly) during season 2013 .......... and now that the trade / FA / draft season is upon us, I can see that many around here suffer from a similar affliction. Thanks Demonland ...... BRILLIANT work!.

Amen to that Deeoldfart.

I swear that Demonland has kept me going the last three years without you all ( even the ones who don't like me ) I am confident I would have packed it in.

Staying the distance has been very hard the last three years.

Probably the toughest period in the last 49 years.

Thanks to the guys who keep Demonland alive.

I really appreciate it.

Fairly confident that is not true TBF but I don't lie awake at night worrying about it.

Not sure about the last bit TBF especially the "all" bit

'Course we do.

Echoing the above sentiments.

At last the worst season I can remember in 60 years of supporting this club is over and the time to once again suckle at the breast of fantasy is upon us.

Time to enjoy 20 weeks without losing a game.

Great job Demonland bosses for allowing the chance for us all to purge and share our supporter angst in this annus horribilis yet hopus nextyearus.

Who here is not a MFC Supporter?

Me. I'm a Dawks supported and we just won the premiership.

Hey why is this forum called Demonland. It should be called Dawkland.

Oh did I mention that I am from an alternate reality that split from your one in 1996 when the once mighty Melbourne Demons merged with the Hawthorn Hawks. It's been smooth sailing for the Dawks since the merge.

How has it been for you guys?

Thanks to all the Owners, Mods and helpers of Dawkland for keeping this site going. I forgot how ugly the Melbourne jumper without the gold hawk was. So plain.

And I actually supported his team yesterday.

I will take it as a life lesson and make sure it never happens again.

OD you are right mate, there are very bad people here.

Is it possible to Ban this guy from this site otherwise I may just fly over to Melbourne so I can xxxxx him in the face. No one dishes my teams jumper unless their one of us.

I was being sarcastic and attempting some humour but it seems to have gone right over your head.

I'm a Demon born and bred so I'm just as miserable as everyone else here.

I'd like to thank the D'land crew for giving me the opportunity to share my witty and incisive comments on a variety of subjects. Although, I must say there are one or two swine (you know who you are) who do not appreciate my pearls.

No Way BBO that can not be true.

We all love you on the DL forums.

We must mark this club hard from now on.

We are the backbone of the supporters of this club.

I read Dland before i read the club website.

I am still pumped that PJ signed Mr. Roos

We members deserve the best from this old and proud club.

It will rise and we are the beginning of making sure it does.

Our list is not good enough. It can be in time.

Those who wish to leave can leave. We will build a list of September players if the members expect it. Average performances must be unacceptable.

What i am saying is take off the red and blue glasses. We must be hard on this club. Roos must do at least 3 years. If he walks that could be the end.

But he is not going to...We must demand that the whole club toughens up. To win the 13th we have to beat similar pressure that we witnessed yesterday.

120 minutes of sustained pressure.

Weekly.

    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
