You're a little unhinged, but I believe he'll be back.

It was a little hissy fit, a bit of attention seeking / pouting combo, but as the team improves he won't be able to stay away.

You don't get to the point of posting on this forum unless you're beyond the point of return already.

He already has been. I read the goodbye post then there was a second post (from memory) explaining the reasoning for the first. What we now need is a third post denying the existence of the first post or attributing its content to another. Regardless, all is forgiven. All I can think is that he believed he was supporting a successful team and had accidently missed the results for a decade.

It's not like he created a thread to announce his exit then came on the next day to check for replies and post again...

Perhaps we ask that he rename it the John Farnham thread.

Weird. I used to be in the top 5 posters, then took a break for about 5 years, only recently started checking 'land again to see some excitement as I saw the demons finally returning to relevance this year. I didn't get on to make a post about leaving.

You need to make a lengthy post about returning Double Dee then renounce Demonland if we lose against the Aints.

Come on Dan...you can do better than that. You should be saying I'v been gone 5 years and unless the Demons make the 8 you will hold your breath until you pass out.

I believe Ascobar is working on environmental rehab work deep in Ethiopia so would be well out of range of these posts. But I could be wrong, it has been known to happen.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
