Thank you Demonland



Recommended Posts

Many hands makes light work and it's not always the easiest job for these guys. On top of that they provide us with a great podcast that keeps us informed week after week.

Great work DL team. Such a pleasure to be part of it 👏

3 hours ago, leave it to deever said:

It also seems we have been less cranky with one another this season with less sniping and more positivity. Maybe a flag after 57 years will do that.

So thank you again to those keeping the site going and to those who have shared their unique humor, wit and time over the six months.

May we blessed with at least another one  of the same fun up until the siren sounds our 14th flag.

I've certainly found this year and to an extent most of last year to be lower stress and more enjoyable than any other time of being a MFC supporter as well.  The moments of sheer emotion and elation from Rd 23 onwards last year were something to behold.  Getting to share that with everyone on this forum has been great.

This season has been so different to any other I've experienced as a footy supporter.  To be honest, I've almost found myself being a bit bored and apathetic towards footy at times, which is something quite new to me.  Alot of the time I haven't felt a burning desire to read or contribute to D'land either. However the losses we had through the middle part of the season have reminded me that it's not all peaches and the wins somewhat against the grain against Carlton and Brisbane in recient weeks have got me excited for what we could produce again.

Look forward to riding out the next month with my fellow posters / Demon faithful.  Would love to be wearing a MFC jumper with 14 on the back that represents both a few of my favorite players and the number of flags we've won! (P.S. my son has a jumper with BBB's playing No. on the back!!).

 

P.P.S. hope your health is on the up Litd.

Lovely post. I feel the same. 

This site means a lot to me. It’s a release valve for me. As my wife says when I regularly get annoying - why don’t you go on your silly footy forum and crack your stupid jokes on there?

aww. You can feel the love

thanks DL for prolonging my marriage!

Indeed it has. 

Game day threads can be a bit intense at times, but the average football threads are way less aggro compared to 2013. It was Beyond Thunderdome stuff back in those days. 

Hopefully this love and good will can last through when we become poo again some day in the (very distant) future!

Thanks guys. As the lone Demon supporter in my household and now living away from Melbourne I enjoy the insights, humour and the bantering on DL.

I am married to a Pies supporter and he is somewhat envious (even though he will not admit it) as there is nothing like this for Pies fans who want information and intelligent conversation.

Listening to the podcast makes my weekly drives into the city much more bearable.

Keep up the good work and I will be making another donation first thing tomorrow.

Go Dees.

Gee Winners, if you feel you need to apologise then I probably need to build a church in Demonland's honour! 😆

I wonder how difficult it might be to run a few searches for 'post of the day' results or simply posts which got an unusual number of reactions and responses for their topic? That could be a way to assemble a Demonland Yearbook.

Ooh, Demonland Yearbook, we're opening up the merch stores now!

I am sure that Andy appreciates all the kind thoughts offered by everyone. 

The fact that he keeps this site going to all of our collective benefit is simply very generous. 

But it is not just the time ( which is extensive) but it costs $'s to run and maintain. Money that otherwise comes from his pocket.

Software, upgrades, hosting fees, equipment for podcasts...all costs.

So if you can help with these, take out an annual or lifetime membership, or just donate a little to keep the ship afloat.

Any extra left over is directed toward player sponsorhip, so the club benefits as well.

Thanks again to everyone, you make this site what it is.......

I joined DL in April 2021 so it’s needless to say I’ve not been here for the 💩 times, only the good and great times. 🏆

Andy and co. provide an awesome service and I’m forever grateful to be a part of this site. 💕

There’s some absolutely beautiful souls on DL. But if I may, I wanna thank one in particular, that being the young Dees diehard who introduced me to DL in the first place. He’s a longtime member of DL who reads the content but never posts (hey hey 👋 you know who you are. 😘).

How did we meet? I’m glad I asked. 😁 So, I had a tradesman at mine doing a repair. When his work was finished he came into the kitchen with the paperwork, saw my mini shrine (my pantry wall) and uttered those five magic words… Who’s the Melbourne supporter here?

Well, what ensued was the biggest Dees-nerd sesh ever there was. We gushed about our beloved Club for like 40 mins or so. He told me about DL and I joined that very day, probs before he even left my driveway. 😆

 

THANK YOU ANDY AND CO.

I also am so grateful that I found Demonland, I no longer read the Sports sections and rely on this site and MFC site for all my footy news and intelligence on what is happening within our mighty club and AFL. Our posters keep us informed with greater clarity, humour and timelines than other sources. I thinks that my better half sometimes gets a little jealous of my devotion to our site. Thanks Demonland and all posters for making our lives just that little bit more enjoyable and fulfilled. ❤️💙🤘💕

I once had a tradesman over at my place who also must have seen some Demon's paraphernalia and asked if I go for the Demons. We had about the Demons for about 20 mins and he told me that I must go to Demonland to read about the Demons.

True Story.

    SISTER ACT by Meggs

    In the twilight at Frankston Oval, for the first ever match between Melbourne and Hawthorn, the Demons were clinical winning by 59 points and remain undefeated in Season Eight.   The Melbourne team ran out to a wonderful #DeeArmy banner paying tribute to Ron Barassi, ‘a football legend, the greatest Demon’.     So true!   Meggs was super excited to see Irish recruit Aimee Mackin playing her first game.  Aimee quickly showed us that she belongs out there with composure, ga

    ON SONG by Meggs

    Meggs asks is it time to heave ho the melodies and words of yesteryear and update Club theme songs with some Australian composers and singers?     What prompted this reflection was the discovery that this week’s combatants’ themes were written by the same early 20th century American composer, George M. Cohan.     Cohan’s melodies The Yankee Doodle Boy and You’re a Grand Old Flag have been used by Hawthorn since 1956 and Melbourne since 1912.   Even earlier, the clu

    RUN UNBEATEN by Meggs

    The Demons withstood a spirited challenge from the Western Bulldogs in the 10th anniversary of the Hampson-Hardeman Cup to run away with it in the last quarter and take their unbeaten run to 12 wins on the trot, an AFLW record.   The Doggies were tenacious and their losing score of 6.5.41 was the highest score against Melbourne since their last loss against Brisbane in Round 4 on 18 September 2022.   With the sad passing of AFL football legend Ronald Dale Barassi, champion player

    LEARNINGS OR BURNINGS by GOTO

    Well, the 2023 season is over for the Demons after a two point loss to the Blues in the First Semi Final. All season WE have been hearing about the “learnings” that the team needed to make after each loss, but how much have we actually learnt when they:   1. Lost four successive finals at our own home ground;   2. Fell in five of their last six losses despite having more shots at goal and in the sixth, they had an equal number of shots;   3. Lost seven games by under two

    LOST DOGS by Meggs

    The Western Bulldogs and the Demons have history. Prior to the creation of the AFLW league, the AFL ran four years of exhibition matches featuring our two teams between 2013 and 2016. The winner holds the Hampson-Hardeman Cup, in honour of two women who were founders of the national women’s football competition. After 13 games the Demons hold nine wins, four losses record and currently hold the Cup after trouncing the Dogs last year by 64 points. The exhibition games were a precursor t
