Thank you Demonland



Recommended Posts

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.

This site is part of the fabric of society!!

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.

Me mate says to 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!

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
