  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Right, there's no need for any of this. As I said above Demonology people are welcome here at any time. Last time I looked Demonland and Demonology both supported the same footy club.

demonland/demonology are both supported by same supporters too !!!!...but do get frustrated with demonology being down on all days THE GRAND FINAL DAY !!!!!! :angry: :angry:

There's a reason why Demonology and Demonland call each other "sister sites".

As far as I'm concerned there's no need to have a crack at the 'ology members who are here while the site is (again ;)) down.

Further posts needlessly attacking other members will be deleted.

It's database error, got nothing to do with the rewrite. I'd say the only reason it hasn't been fixed it is because Tim_ is busy and hasn't noticed that it's broken yet.

It's a simple error to fix when it happens. It's just a matter of somebody who can fix it noticing it.

it's been down nearly 48 hours now - surely Tim has 'noticed' it by now, as he is ( was ? ) a regular contributor.

maybe he has lost interest in Demonology due to the power trips happening between it's moderators.

If Tim_'s upset by the behavior of its moderators he can just give them the flick. He wouldn't just "give up" on the site that he has put a lot of time and energy in to building.

Maybe he is doing one of those things that some very strange people do on their weekends like spending time with his family.

let's hope that's it Nash - he has worked so hard on it, particularly in stat's work - sometimes it must just seem so much simpler to use 'off the shelf' software tho.

'land seems to have everything necessary for a furum site - has any part of 'land been written specially?

There's a whole bunch of stuff that has been written specially, but none of it is live at the moment (pending a few things). It all leverages the forum platform though. It would take far too much time to develop it all from scratch IMO. I reckon Tim is mad. :)

I have just spoken with Tim_ about the problem.

Unfortunately for Tim_ a tree had blown down from his neighbours and took out all his power and telephone connections ( and a bit of his house to boot!). So until my call he knew nothing, and was otherwise preoccupied with trying to keep warm in the cold weather we have been experiencing.

I am attempting to call the ISP on his behalf, and hopefully we will get the problem sorted, prior to the Judd announcement.......

George, have you been down the Junction with your video camera seeing who's coming and going??!!

Does Tim think this act of god is a good or bad omen??

Thanks once again for your hard work Tim.

Must be very frustrating especially given the timing - forget teh GF, what I mean is trade week.

Still, nothing we can do about it all I guess.

Maybe the Pies have sabotaged 'ology.

Picket Fence - welcome - I think over time you will value 'land - I think over time you will gravitate to 'land quite a bit - it seems to me to be an excellent site for a number of reasons - reliability ( I don't think I have ever seen it unobtainable ) , very easy to negotiate the various forums which are presented in an extremely logical and practical manner , very well moderated ( without any apparent power trips or air of superiority) and a very knowledgeable and informative range of posts and members who contribute in a supportive and co-operative and respectful manner without sniping or anyone wanting to gain one-upmanship.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
