I really like the new look on the iPhone - much cleaner.

Thanks for all the work you do @Demonland to keep the site up and running, as well as running the podcast. I’m not sure of the costs involved in doing all this, but is there a Donate button, so that those that wish to can chuck in a dollar or two from time to time?

Thank you. The cleaner look is the software. I just clicked a button to install it.

You can donate here if you like: https://demonland.com/clients/donations/

Love that I'm not accidentally clicking on the podcast as I'm scrolling down now :). Appreciate the work you put in mate

I couldn't sleep properly the other night so was scrolling through demonland. Don't think my wife appreciated the demonland podcast accidentally blaring out at full volume at 2am! 

 

Wow. This is Marty McFly stuff

Demonland looks like it did 10 years ago when i first got a Smartphone!!

2020 has been too weird...

A very brutal screen with far too much dominance of the various updates on the right of the screen which IIRC were at the bottom of the page.

Good luck but sorry don't like it.

 

 

Looking a lot better this morning. Last night the right hand highlights section was taking up almost half my screen.

Now it looks back to normal size.

Thanks


Much appreciate all the work you do in maintaining this forum @Demonland so definitely no complaints. 

But one tiny point. The notifications alerts now include reactions from other posters rather than just quotes. 

Understand that it's fairly standard practice but these alerts are designed to drive addictive behaviour. 

Haven't watched The Social Dilemma yet but reading up on the subject always makes me feel highly uneasy. 

Anyway, maybe it's something minor to consider from an ethical perspective if you have the ability to alter.

I also respect that you have a business to run in a highly competitive advertising environment. 

(Please note - removing the reaction alert is just my personal navigational preference - other posters may love it).

I'll check and see if this is a global setting but it could also be a setting within your own profile.

I didn't change anything in regards to that it must be a new forced feature.

There is bound to be an off switch for that either in the forums settings or your own notification settings.

Great work Andy, just flicked another $50 your way, it’s been noticeable how the standard MFCSS meltdowns haven’t crushed the servers!

never a bad time to remind people that there is a donate button

Thank you very much. It really is very much appreciated especially during these times.

We fixed those server issues a about a month to 6 weeks ago. Last week post game really tested it. People were not happy.

Can you elaborate? The site doesn't look very different to what it did yesterday.

It just reminds me of the first time the site was available for phones

Great job Andy, smooth sailing today on iPhone.

All these changes cost money, so another couple of pineapples donated to keep this great site running. 

Thanks for all the work.

I'm not seeing an 'Edit' option on my posts. 

I use Firefox if that is of any help.

Software changed this. Not sure why. I’ll get used to it eventually. 

A trivial question:  How should we interpret the 'Laughing/Ha Ha' reaction icon?

The Old and new software don't credit it as a +1 in the 'Community Reputation'.  I've noticed that most of the time posters use it as a +'ve as they like the humour rather than a -'ve 'ha ha, that is sarcastic' type response.  I'm sure the funny people don't care whether they get credit but should I change to using 'Like' rather than 'Ha Ha' in acknowledging witty posts?

I actually changed that a while ago. The emoticon has a duel purpose; it can be used for acknowledging someone for a witty remark or to denote sarcasm or to laugh at someone for making a foolish remark. 

I didn’t think it was right for someone to gain forum reputation for constantly saying idiotic things. 

I know that sucks for the genuinely funny people. 


I'm really invested in this trivial conversation now. Does forum reputation bestow any benefits? Don't we all just assess reputation ourselves and collectively? What is reputation? I would be happy for my snarky laugh responses to hand over a reputation point to a notorious poster if it meant my chuckles awarded others. Wouldn't it even out over time anyway?

I had used the 'Ha Ha' icon for this post but worried you might think I was ridiculing your comments so changed it to 'Like'.?

@Demonland This is a wonderful site, forum and community. The Gameday threads provide a lot of added entertainment and outlet during our games, and I've learned a lot about the tactical and operational sides of the game from the many discussions herein and on the Podcast. 

Thanks for your ongoing work.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
