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.

It just when you go over 10,000 posts you must have an Avatar!

I have a few dozen suggestions for you in that area.

Thanks all it been a blast on the Demonland Forums.

Just keep in mind that we may not agree with each other on many things, we do on that topic that really counts. We all support the MFC!

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.

Thanks Demonland, for creating and maintaining a great forum for us Dees supporters. Thanks to all those who worked - both up front and behind the scenes.

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 have not been at it quite that long angrydee I think the last three in succession take some tossing.

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
