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.

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
