Hey all,

We're just wanting to gather a little information as to how you came across this website. If you could please vote in the above poll, and perhaps give us a little explanation.

I discovered Demonology after they got a mention on the Footy Show in 2003 and heard about Demonland through that site shortly after. Since then I've been an active member of both sites. I've considered Demonland to be "home" ever since I set up the new forum in late '05 and became part of the team after hearing the lads were unhappy with their existing setup.

Edit: As an extension, I've also added another couple of questions to gauge some of our demographics. Cheers.

Edit2: If you voted in the poll before I added the extra options but want to vote in the gender and age polls, send me a PM with your age and gender and I'll add the votes in manually.

    Well to be completely honest, I dont remember. I think I was searching for some info on the club and Demonland came up.

    So the little spiders were doing their job :-)

    I voted: Another footy site, but it's a two-fold story.

    I used to read Bigfooty, and the place disgusted me.

    I then heard about Demonland through a friend who posted both on Bigfooty and here (old forum), and the rest is history.

    I've been reading/posting/moderating this site for what feels like a lifetime.

    Thank god we lost our post count when we moved to the new setup, or I would probably be up to about 20,000 posts by now! :o

    I voted in the poll, but for what it's worth -

    I read an article in one of the Melbourne dailies - perhaps The Age online iirc - and it mentioned Demonland and Demonology.

    I thought I'd check them out and I've been lurking - and posting - fairly regularly since.

    just wondering if you want to know our age now, or the age when we discovered demonland, because our age now would be more relevant, but the age at which we discovered demonland is more relevant to the question of 'how did we discover demonland'.

    It's refering to your age now.

    We've done this sort of poll before, but the results will be very different now.

    For one, there is already 2 females posting here. That's one more than last time! <_< :lol:

    Long time lurker on sites that talk about the mighty dees.

    Read about it on bigfooty many moons ago (don't go there anymore... I get too angry)

    I generally dont post much (also causes me to get angry).

    Sadly not female (sadly for the poll's sake, personally i am quite happy)

    I was searching the internet a year or so ago looking for a demon forum

    Searched Google and this site came up

    Had a look around, liked what i saw, and registered and now here i am

    To tell you the truth I can't remember exactly how I came to know about the site. I think it was through an internet search. Because I live in the west we don't get a lot of Demon coverage in the local media so I was forced to find a forum like this to satisfy my cravings for Demon related news/opinions.

    I'm not one to haunt other teams forums, but it seems like there is some passionate divides between us Demon fans on issues such as the coach and the players (ie. Bruce, Green, Miller, Danners). Are all clubs supporters like us, passionate but divided (in opinion I mean?)

    7 females!

    When did this happen? :o

    Seroiusly, who knew there were so many of us in here :lol: ?!!!

    I signed up because being in Sydney there is nothing written about, or talked about in regards to the Demons in the press.

    So I went to find somewhere I could get a hold of Melbourne news and views and, well, here we are......

    And just the record leucopogon, I think you will find all footy fan sites have particular divisions over certain players and the coach :rolleyes::) !!!

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
