Shortly we will be migrating to an upgraded plan for the hosting of Demonland. We are hoping that this will alleviate the instances where Demonland has crashed alot recently. I won't bore you with the specifics but the change will of course take Demonland offline for a little bit. Hopefully it is only for a short time but I am not certain when it will be done or how long it will take. Hopefully it does not impact discussion of this weeks match.

Unfortunately this is going to more than double what we already pay to get Demonland online so if you are keen to help us out (and it's certainly not mandatory that you do) you can do so in the following ways.

Take out a Demonland Subscription - not only are you helping Demonland out but all the advertisements that a littered throughout the site will disappear.

Donate to Demonland - If you already subscribe to Demonland and want to contribute something extra you can help us out this way.

Purchase some Demonland Merchandise - look cool and help Demonland out in the process.

I don't like having to put my hand out and I and the site will survive if you don't but if you enjoy Demonland and want to (and can) contribute those are the way you can do it.

Hopefully this will solve the constant issues that we have been having and you can continue enjoying this site without further interruption.

As always all funds will go towards paying for the hosting & the annual forum software fees and if there is anything left over I always like to pay it forward to Nasher whose help is invaluable.

Go Dees.

Andy

    Think I have current membership which is the best investment ever made.

    Donated last year to recognise your efforts and maintain my enjoyment of the best investment ever made.

    I have referenced this site as one of the best performing applications I have ever used.

    Happy to donate again to continue.

    Please provide a bsb and account number to effect transfer of small donation which is all I can afford

    Thanks guys. Hopefully, the down time will take place in the middle of the night and not while there’s a game in progress involving the Demons.?

    Migration is apparently taking place at midnight tonight. It shouldn't impact the game unless there are complications. ?

    Thanks to all those who have contributed. It is much appreciated.

    Hi, I became a member years ago with suggested $100 contribution, which removed the ads and all was good. But recently after one of the crashes, I was unable to access the site for a week or more, long story short, I had to create a new account with a different email address. And of course the ads returned. So Andy let me know the account details and I’ll forward funds over. 

    It’s worthwhile reminding us every now and again of those recurring costs that have to be paid and the free expertise provided by Nasher. You all do an amazing job! What would I do with all those hours in my week without Demonland!

    If you PM your old username perhaps I merge your current account with the old one and you do not have to double dip. Your original donation is much appreciated so no need to have to pay again.

    Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to maintain the site? Does Demonland get any revenue? I’m happy to donate when I get back home

    Support these comments entirely, well done so far and in particular, your message to 'users' related to DL needs.

    perhaps you could put up a target figure like you did last year. (Or was it the year before).

    $100 on the way in the next day or so.

    This is a great site as I have so often said.

    I've updated the donation target on the side (or towards the bottom of the pages on mobile).

    It used to alert you when your yearly sub was coming up and then if you don't pay by that time you get downgraded back to a member but I think there is a issue with the system and there is no renewal so effectively you have been an annual member since Feb 2016.

    I'm looking in to fixing it but I will manually downgrade those Annuals that are no longer in their year of subscription.

    You'll probably start seeing ads soon. sorry about that. :P

    I've made an update. Let me know if it reinvoiced you to continue as an Annual member. Actually let me know what the process is. It shouldn't automatically charge you but let me know if it does. In fact let me know what happens as I'm not exactly sure of the process. I think it gives you a grace period and then if you don't pay by that time it puts you back as a normal member.

    Thank you. We continually try to improve the look and feel and ease of use. Unfortunately of late we've had some hiccups and in hopefully adding some muscle will improve the experience.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
