Demonland Thanks for Season 2018

 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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.
