Only joined recently after reading DL content and listening to DL podcasts for many years. Also have posted on BigFooty  for years. Finally joined because:

1. I think the standard of the Pod is first class and offers the best analysis going around.

2. The DL forum discussion is deeper and much more varied and informative than on BF.

All in all thank you Andy and all involved. I spend far too much time on here.

    I mean, with all that this club has been through since it began. For it to have survived is a credit to all involved. 
    It should be heritage listed.

    I remember years ago on SEN late at night, there was a discussion on club supporter websites and Demonland was way out in front. 
    It is also a great companion when traveling as long as WiFi is connected!!

    Let’s all go back to back

    and no bagging players on the Gameday Threads!!

    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.

    I’m thinking we all want to read the next bit of that story. The bit where you reply to him -  “funny you should say that, cos…….”, and what comes after.

    So many club forums have come and gone over the years across all clubs. It really is amazing how long DL has stood the test of time.

    Many of us have had bursts of posting often and periods of not being on here at all. I went through some very long periods where I would just come on here and read what other people were saying but the fact is it's always been there for us. I don't go on Facebook groups for MFC discussion, this is the only place for me.

    • did you read x, y and zed in the paper?
    • what do you think about Dermie's rant,
    • Lloyd recons . . .
    • Darcy this, that and the other,
    • etc, etc, etc . . . . .

    I say, was it on Demonland? If it's not on 'Land, I really don't care. It's the only source I trust.

    Thanks Andy and all.

    This.

    Mike Gibson once said the following:

    "The average person's not interested in front-page political stories. For the average bloke, Canberra is a cold, horrible place he went to once. He's not interested in Canberra, but Parramatta - he might be interested in what's going on there."

    That's how I feel about DL and the Herald Sun is a cold place.

    The majority of the users of this site are readers and not posters/people who have signed up an account.

    You guys are actually in the minority by a considerable margin.

    I said I'd never heard of it.

    And then I told him I was just joking and that I started it. It's actually a little bit embarrassing but he was then treating me like I was a celebrity. I had to leave but my wife told me that for the rest of the day he kept saying that he couldn't believe he was in Demonland HQ. He still charged me though so there's that. So much for being a celebrity if there are no perks.

    Perfect. ‘Celebrity’ fully deserved. We know he reads Demonland, do we assume he posts? Reveal yourself Mr Celebrity-anointing tradie I say!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
