Demonland

Recommended Posts

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.

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

As an interstate member, Demonland is my football 'lifeblood'.  Thanks Andy and crew for your great work.  More than happy to donate.

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 

We get revenue from the ads on the site. The costs vary but have grown exponentially as the site has grown.

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.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
