Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all Demonlanders. 

It’s been a tough year for our beloved club. Let’s hope we can bounce back in 2020. 

I want to thank our Mods @Nasher@Whispering_Jack, @Grapeviney, @george_on_the_outer. They go above and beyond in their tireless work of keeping the forum civil and a friendly, inviting and inclusive place. Things can get heated in here especially in the tough times and the mods do a great job of keeping the peace. 

 Thanks to my Podcast cohosts @Grapeviney, @Supermercado & @george_on_the_outer. It’s a tough job having to front up week in week out when you only win 5 games so thank you guys for not bailing on me. 

 A big big thank you to our regular preseason trackwatchers @kev martin, @Baghdad Bob, @Satyriconhome, @DeeSpencer & anyone else who I’ve missed out. This year you guys have raised the bar and I look forward to your reports in the New Year. A million thank yous.

 And lastly but certainly not least thank you to all of you who make up this wonderful community. This forum is nothing without its contributors. Hopefully 2020 brings us that elusive Premiership so that we can all bitch about the cup not being shiny enough together. 

 Bring on 2020. ???

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all.

It's the generally good natured banter on Demonland that helps get us through seasons like this.

Nothing like a good argument or difference of opinion.

Also nothing like some of the really informative stuff we get to share such as the training reports and well founded rumours (scoops).

Thanks to the crew for making it all happen & thanks to the majority of posters for making it an enjoyable experience.

Merry Christmas Demonlanders. I’d like to apologise for anything stupid I’ve said and all the other stupid things I’m bound to say over the forthcoming season. 
 

As a long-game Christmas gift to you all, I have decided that if we don’t win the flag in 2020, I will super-glue myself to the statue of Norm Smith outside the G, and simultaneously hold a hunger strike until all the other teams acquiesce into just letting us win 2021’s flag. 
 

This is something Darren Burgess hasn’t thought about,  and I feel it’s the missing link in our plan.

Merry Christmas to all on demonland.

May all of our wishes come true for the red and blue.

Wishing you all health, luck and making good decisions. 

From Kev

ScoMo went for a little break while the country burned. Who cares, Kev bolted while Dees preseason was in full swing. Unforgiveable.

Only joking Kev, you're an absolute legend. I could never put into words what your preseason reports have meant to me during a tough time in my life. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Have a great Christmas.

Thanks for that, it reminded me to break out the Kevin Bloody Wilson song today.

Not for the more "sensitive" members here. Please take note of the warning

A huge thank you to Andy and all others who make Demonland such a wonderful place for us to meet and share our woes, disappointments, hopes, dreams and occasional joys.  As an 'interstater', remote from the Melbourne media, I honestly don't know where !'d be without a healthy serve of Demonland to go with my Weet Bix and muesli 365 days a year.  Hope Santa was generous with red and blue gifts for everyone, and that 2020 brings something very special, even if we do have to wait until September!

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year Demonlanders.

A disappointing year on field, but always nice to have this place to vent, dissect and hope. 

Appreciate everyone's banter and insight, enjoy the season and look after yourselves.

All the best to all at Demonland! Mods, what an outstanding forum and fan site.. thanks!

To all Posters, whether I agree or not, Thanks for providing a really interesting conversation and banter and occasionally heated discusiion!

It is the PASSION, that we share and although we do have differences at least we are united in one thing,

A LONG OVERDUE FLAG!

So I send this All the best!

" Try not too stay too static or cute.

Premierships won long ago memory can decay and become like brown Squashy Fruit,

Change, is the seed to personal growth and a footy club so passionate, that it demands perfection and swear on the Grand old Flag Oath!

And submit to the Challenges that aspire to greatness, all that we seem,

Follow the Blueprint, those in command, and there stands before us The Premiership Dream!"

    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.

    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.
