URGENT ATTENTION: New Software Will Necessitate New Login Requirement

A major software update to the website is coming

This software update will require all users to log in using their registered email address instead of their username whenever they are logged out. 

This is simply a login requirement—your email address will remain private. Once you're logged in, you won’t need to log in again unless you log out or access the site from a new device.

Going forward any time that you have to log in to Demonland you will have to use the email address that is registered to Demonland to log in rather than using your Username which has been the way you have logged in in the past.

This change appears to be a security measure as part of the new major software update and not something I’ve personally chosen.

Most website functions will remain the same, though there will be some cosmetic updates. Initially, all customizations (such as colors and the look and feel of the site) will revert to the default look, but I’ll gradually restore most of them them over time.

Additionally, some third-party add-ons I’ve implemented over the years will no longer work immediately after the update. The site will essentially start fresh in that regard, and I’ll reintroduce features as I go.

The most important thing is that all content will still be there and you will be able to post as normal which is the main feature of the site. All the rest is just cosmetic which I will play around with once the new software is installed.

To be clear all the past posting history will remain the website might just look and feel slightly different but basic functionality of the message board format will remain.

This upgrade is necessary because the current software will no longer be supported and the new software may bring some other improvements and features over time.

To ensure a smooth transition, please make sure your email address is up to date—this is important in case you ever need to recover your account.

When updating your email address in your profile you will probably be required to validate your new email address. If a validation email does not arrive in your inbox then please check your junk folder as it might have ended up there. If the email is not in your junk folder then please contact me and I will manually change it for you.

Please attempt to change it yourself before messaging me to assist.

I don't have a timeframe for the installation of the new software as I am waiting to hear back from @Nasher to assist me in this process as the initial installation isn't just a software update like on your phone. It requires the technical magic that only @Nasher can provide. Future incremental updates will be easier.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we enter the 25th year of Demonland.

    If you are logged in, from the menu (top right 3-line icon on a phone, go to "Account", then select "Account Settings". You'll see an option to change your email. The validation email is sent to the new address so you don't need to access your old address.

    This is a good time to thank Andy, Nasher and everyone else who makes this site run so smoothly.

    I couldn’t agree more LDC.  It’s far too easy to take this wonderful site for granted, and to ignore the enormous effort that it takes by a plethora of people, to keep it up and going.  As an interstate member, Demonland is my lifeline to the real world of the MFC and the AFL.

    Thanks Andy (and Nasher, et al) for keeping this site up and running for all this time. I recently did an online survey that asked me if I was still a member of any non-Reddit/social media/Facebook forum (you know, the kind everyone was a part of back in the good old days before the internet took a turn for the worse). I was proud to answer "YES!" thanks to this site.

    For those wanting to check their profile to confirm their email is right, you should be able to follow this link to make the required change:

    Still waiting to hear back from @Nasher. I haven't heard back from him through any of the lines of communication that I have with him. I hope everything is ok.

    This October will also be 20 years on the Invision platform too. Or more to the point, 20 years since my 21 year old self, 6 months in to an IT career, somehow convinced you and Finks that I knew what I was talking about enough to set up and run a system like this one.

    It’s been a journey!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
