THANK YOU FROM DEMONLAND


Demonland

Recommended Posts

It's been another great season for Demon fans and Demonland.

We didn't make it to the AFL Big Dance although we finished in the top two after the home and away but we're still regarded as an AFL powerhouse and right up there in the premiership window with a real chance in 2023!

On top of that our Melbourne AFLW and Casey Demons teams did us proud by holding aloft their respective premiership cups.

Taking the opportunity to thank all of you our contributors for your participation in this difficult year for the Melbourne Football Club.

In particular, I would like to thank Nasher once again for keeping the site together and to our feature writers @george_on_the_outer , @Whispering_Jack, @The Oracle , @KC from Casey, @Meggs and all of our other contributors for keeping Demonland going throughout season 2022 (in the case of AFLW seasons 2022).

And how could I forget our podcast co-commentator @binmanwho does such a great job along with @george_on_the_outerduring the season and sometimes off season too!

Also a big thank you to @Whispering_Jack, @Grapevineyand @george_on_the_outer  on their tireless and often thankless efforts as Moderators.

And a big thank you to @george_on_the_outer & @binman and all of our listeners and callers on the Demonland Podcast.

And now, we can look forward to the future. Bring on 2023!

Go Dees!!!

There's something wrong with my Demonland. The thanks are flowing in the wrong direction. They should be directed from us, the posters, back to the Demonland admin team. 

Demonland is a treasured resource. And unlike a lot of social media, it's wholesome, generally truthful and a lot of fun.  

I bestow my many thanks on Andy and all those who make Demonland what it is.

Well I was gonna sing your praises like everyone else here but you hadda go and post a pic of bald Langers with zero warning. 😠

JK when it comes to mods you guys are THE BEST! It can’t be easy to maintain a website at this level of excellence while juggling jobs, kids, other interests, etc.

Your tireless efforts are all very much appreciated. 💕

Thanks LD-vic, summed up my feelings about Demonland perfectly, the content provided by Demonland and platform facilitate so much informative, humorous and varied opinions that I find myself drawn to this site far more than my better half would like. Anything worth knowing about the Dees and footy in general I find here. Thanks Demonland.!!!

With the added bonus of grammar lessons, the occasional delve into English literature, music of eclectic taste and a bit of history. And some fun quizzes.

A great year guys, best in my time I reckon, no less than for how you’ve somehow fashioned Demonland to be a haven of passionate sense, well considered analysis and respectful community……..no mean feat in these times of idiotic, salacious, pointless commentary.

    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
