 With tonight’s 2018 Keith “Bluey” Truscott Medal Presentation, we will be marking the end of the football season - one of our club’s best in many years.

And this is the perfect time for us to once again thank all those who have contributed to Demonland during the past season as well as all those who post here or simply visit and read without posting.

We value your contributions and ongoing support - especially to Nasher who keeps us going on the technical side, to our moderators whose task is often thankless - a task that is never easy.

Special thanks to our regular contributors, Whispering Jack, George on The Outer, The Oracle, JVM, KC from Casey, Grapeviney and Supermercado (my podcast co-presenters) and all others who have provided us with material and articles.

Let's hope that 2019 will finally be the year that we break through and experience a Grand Final and Premiership flag.

We also look forward to the another year of women's competition and hope a finals appearance there will be a prelude for later in the year.

As always, we are on the look out for new contributors who have something to say about the mighty Demons. If you have the talent or simply want something to say about the club in article form, please contact me via PM.

Cheers, thanks again and keep your eye on the red and the blue.

Goodbye 2018. It was a fun ride. Bring on 2019.

I'm sure I speak for many when I say the pleasure is all ours Andy and crew.  Demonland is an outstanding forum and getting better all the time.  That takes a huge amount of time and effort, and I can assure you that it is greatly appreciated!  Speaking personally as an interstate member, I can honestly say that Demonland is my football lifeline.  I don't know where I'd be without it.

Big thanks to the Demonland crew.

The platform you put up for us is invaluable.

Some really good solid info & opinions, some not so good and still plenty of room for a good old argument.

It's been a great season so lets all look forward to even better ahead.

Thanks Demonland

Thank you to Andy and crew for such a great website, and for season 2018. Also thank you to all the great contributors during the season. I am already looking forward to season 2019 where I hope that we end our premiership drought.

Thank you Andy and everyone involved. It's not an easy job but you all do it so well. It's been great to be back on DL on a regular basis and have something to get excited about.

Bring on 2019!

Well done crew, you deserve recognition and thanks for all your work.

You go about your job modestly and deal with the opinions of posters sensibly and without suppression.

Yep - well done and kudos to all with Demonland responsibilities. My morning routine of reading the  online news, Demonland then the AFL website gets me on my way to a rather boring job.

Fantastic site. I am pleased to recommend it to any supporters I meet as it is not only a great source of information but contains some of the best humour you will find anywhere.

Professionally and tirelessly run. 

I have found it the most reliable system I have ever used. It has been a companion and vital information provider when I have been in remote and overseas locations.

When I have attended marches or been able to get a full media cover of the Demons I often struggle to keep up with Demonland but always find it worthwhile. Don't have to contribute often as it is such a transparent array of emotions.

Keep up the great work.  Happy to maintain membership of the most cost effective communication I have seen.

Thanks to Andy and the rest of the Demonland crew for a great site.

Often informative, a bit offbeat, but a pleasure to hear from other Demon fans, and what a season we had. 

We’re getting very close!

Thanks hugely to Andy, Nasher, Whispering and all the crew and contributors.  You are a beacon and a lighthouse, sometimes amongst all the tossing and turning insanity on the sea of life.

Other times, you are just plain bloody good comic relief.

Well done all, I love the time I spend delving into DLand.

Thanks to all involved. I especially enjoy the podcasts plus all the serious and not so serious topics that seem to make their way to the forums each week.

Keep up the good work and looking forward to 2019.

My 10th year on the site, and its been the best one so far by a long way. Thanks to Andy and crew and all the mods and people that put the hard yards in to keep the site up and running. Its easily the best fan forum of all the football websites with the best user interface, graphics and appearance. (just drop over to Bomberblitz if you need a comparison fan site).

Looking forward to a great 2019.

WWS.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
