Hi all

I've been a member of Demonland since September 3, 2009.  In that time, we've experienced very few highs (if any), but a tremendous amount of lows.  On Demonland, I've had many a great discussion, sometimes heated, sometimes just a general disagreement of opinions, and many times just a great chat about a particular topic.  Having this forum to vent has definitely made dealing with the tough times a little bit easier to cope with.

Since I joined, I've had my father, the reason why I support this great club, pass away.  I've also sired two terrific kids - keeping my family's tradition alive with my young bloke being a Demon.  It's been some journey.

To the likes of Old Dee, Sir Why You Little, RPFC, Beelzebub, you guys were here before I started, but I've enjoyed may interactions with you all.  To Andy and the Demonland team (Nasher, Whispering Jack, et al), thank you for creating a place for us to call home.  In recent years, the fun and frivolity that Uncle Bitter, Moonie and Biffen bring has been priceless, as has the honesty of Pro Dee.

But now, for the first time since I've been a member of this wonderful forum (approaching 9 years), we're in the finals!  Making the finals is a great achievement for where this team has come from.  There were absolutely times that I wondered if my young bloke would grow up being able to support the same team as his dad, like what his dad did too.  We're still a long way from the pinnacle, but for this year, as Chris Scott keeps saying, we've made the "tournament" so who knows what will happen from here.

Congratulations to all posters for sticking with the club.  Yes, some of you may have threatened to shut up shop, I have probably felt it at times myself, but deep down, we're all Demons, red and blue, through and through.  We deserve to get excited about the next few weeks, and even if it doesn't last as long as we hope, we've made a significant step in 2018 to becoming a relevant club again.

Enjoy the ride.

Go Dees.

Congrats to the team as well for having us on a server that didn’t melt down at the final siren yesterday!

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
