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.

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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
