Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

What's you guys thoughts on gamepass this year @Gorgoroth @Macca @Dappa Dan do any of you normally purchase it ? It's gone up to $279. I still will get it, easiest & most reliable way to watch Falcons games

It's cable for me JV (since the mid 90's) but more specifically, ESPN.  Redzone, Sportscenter, NFL Primetime and all the associated shows fulfill my needs.  SNF & MNF are also on the must watch list ... I'm hangin' out for the season to start.  Redzone especially is great.

I pay about $60 per month (HD & IQ) but I get a stack of other sports and other stuff so I see cable as fantastic value.  I'm not sure I could cope without it.

What do you get for the game pass?  Every game? What's the picture like when fed through to the telly?

Yeah I've got foxtel at home it's just I can't watch every falcons game but getting up towards $300 is getting a bit pricey... Gamepass gives you every game, condensed or coaches film etc & then you get NFL network & all the football docos like A Football Life etc plus any game over the last 6 or 7 years... But I just find it hard to get the time to watch it all to make it worthwhile. The stream to the TV is perfect 99% of the time

I reckon it's pretty dodgy. If you try to get out of it, it takes a big effort. I'm flush with cash this year, so will go again... but I'm only a few small paydays away from getting rid of it.

Yeah definetly not easy to unsubscribe, I tried to turn off my auto renew & there is no way to do it unless you email them... One of my colleagues said he'll go halves so that makes it doable

It's strange to be this close to the season and not hanging out for the season to start. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the year ahead (Rams will be poor tho ) but with the Dees dont well I'm not as keen for theNFL to start ?

NFL for me has become one of my favourite sports to watch (as a whole) ... it's right up there with Test Cricket but It's probably the only sport (NFL) where I have a really keen interest from week 1 to the Super Bowl. 

Most other sports I tune in and out of or the interest is primarily the finals/playoffs or major events like the Olympics/Tour de France or Golf & Tennis majors.

The big impact with the NFL is how things can change dramatically from week-to-week.  The division/conference/playoff set-up is second to none with regards to maintaining interest and there are just a stack of storylines (and that's week to week as well) 

It's a sport where it's so much more than just about your own team (well, that's how I view the sport anyway)

 Me too. I'm happy to watch any game and whilst I follow the rams I'm reading/ watching other teams through out the season. Don't do that for any other sport other than AFL.

100% agree Macca, easily become my 2nd favorite sport. Spewing I only jumped on 4 years ago, missed out on a few years!

Thanks for that link at bottom:(... Training camp started today & I'd thought that would close the chapter on that horrible day.

It's funny in our game it's always "you got to lose one to win one" yet in the NFL the losing SB side is always bound for a "hangover" and history backs it up. In some ways it's easier to win one in the NFL, be the best of 4 sides & make the playoffs and anything can happen yet it's so hard in different ways. In AFL sides until last year had to finish top 4 for a genuine shot but get a double chance..

I really can't justify the game pass. Was on it for a while and then when they had the option of only getting your team's games I did that but it's just too much now.

For those without cable or a game pass the Seven Network will be covering 3 live games again on Monday's (our time) ... and that includes SNF.  That agreement is for the 2018/19 season as well.

There's a decent line-up of Thursday night games again this season ... the Pats & KC kick off the season on Sept 7th (Friday 8th our time) and here's the full line-up of Thursday night games.

Yeah. This will be my last season on it. It's pretty absurd. My whole fantasy league is over it.

Speaking of fantasy league... Anyone?

Hey welcome to the club JV.

Now that you're a fan, do you see things the NFL does well that the AFL can institute? The gap between them and us is really what guys like Hutchy are at the forefront of.

I do think we are way back in terms of the broadcast & the use of technology... In the NFL they can see if a ball is caught or hit the ground down to the last millimeter (as much as I don't want to relive it but that catch by Edelman in the SB) yet over here the score review system is pathetic, a pixelated shot from miles away to see if it hit the post or was touched of the boot, I'm sure with the billion dollar TV rights they could come up with something better than what we have now. 

When I first started watching I was staggered to find out there is up to a 4 year gap between playing sides but the more I've watched and learnt from more I understand & obviously with a 32 team comp it's the only way around it. I still do find it strange how the 2 best teams could be in the same conference so the 2 best sides don't always make the SB but guess you get the conference championship game for that.. I do like the divison set up though, as I've stated before it gives supporters & teams hope each year that they can make a run at the playloffs and unless a side is a run away in the divison the games late in the season have meaning as you are always thereabouts in the divison

Sammy Watkins to the Rams, Gaines to Bills. Both injury prone, loved Gaines but stoked with Watkins if he can get fit.

If Watkins stays injury free that's a huge weapon for the Rams offense.. Saw a stat at the same stage of their careers Watkins & Julio Jones have put up almost identical numbers

Yeah big if tho. They say Goff looked decent on his limited time.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
