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 technical 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, KC from Casey and all others.

Once again they have had to report on games and subjects that have been difficult to write about in 2014 because of our club's lack of on field success.

We are all hoping for a bigger and better season in 2015 and that the stories and news we bring you will be more uplifting and exciting than those gone by in recent times.

We 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.

Andy

And a big happy birthday to Nasher ... WJ says 31 is a big number for all Demons. May it be so for you.

Thanks to all involved.

Its a great site and besides SEN its my first port of call for info on the Dees.

One thing I love is how a thread can turn into a mega thread and yet none of us know WTF is going on.

Its great and entertaining except the fish stuff.

Thanks again guys its greatly appreciated.

31 already Nasher? Bloody hell, where has time gone?!

We've gotten older and Melbourne has gotten worse. At least we have Demonland to keep us entertained when times are tough.

Well done to all involved. It certainly gives us all something to fill in the blanks and lonely moments, other than opening another bottle!

You don't have to answer this Jaded but the resignation in your name suggests you are an old bastard like me. With a certain class, however, that the young one's can only aspire to.

No matter what happens on the field, Demonland rolls on, and I am very grateful for that. Thanks to all!

Barely out of nappies Nasher! HB2U!

And a hearty Huzzah to all that is said above. You guys have unknowingly been my lifeline at various stages. Absolutely invaluable.

I always thought her name was Jade and she has played on that. Could be wrong tho.

You are way off. I am just jaded, I was when I first started posting here, and 10 years later it has gotten that much worse.

I'm just a grumpy jaded old biatch now. Damn you Melbourne for ruining my once sparkling personality!

This despite many a questioning is a very fine place for us Demon tragics, Much thanks to those that provide.

We are different but we are the same; we are Demons

Thanks Demonland :)

Thank you Demonland. I wouldn't say you keep me sane but at least this is a good asylum to belong to.

Happy birthday Nasher, I think you are you my grandson?

Happy birthday Nasher. If it weren't for Demonland, I wouldn't have a captive audience for my eccentric musings and class based commentary. Kudos to you all.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
