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.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Not long now guys. How's everyone's team training camps going? I'm hoping my 49ers can at least get 4 wins or above this season. 

I'll be interested how Shanahan goes as the HC of the 49ers, from things I've read he was a very controlling offensive co-ordiantor & can sometimes be a bit stubborn & cute with his play calling, SB again another example... Reading stuff out of the Atlanta camp was how the new OC has let the players have a say & run things that suit them.. Having said that Shanahan orchestrated one of the greatest offenses last season so will be interesting how he goes as HC, I'm assuming he will be calling plays on offense... Goodluck to him.

I've heard similar things so it will be a bit up the air for a bit. I do think offense minded coaches are the way to go currently with it being a passing league. His Superbowl gaff was pretty hard to miss but hopefully he can bring something.

Hoyer as QB won't get us to a superbowl but I think he can win us a few games, Garcon knows Shanahan and brings some experience. Who knows!

Ha ha ... I'm very much the same with the Packers divisional rivals.  Especially the Bears.  Packer fans really hate the Vikings as well. 

I've got a mate who is a more recent convert to the NFL and he picked the Lions just so we can be rivals (he's also a bloody Collingwood supporter!)

The divisions staying with the same make-up of teams for long periods must build up intense rivalries over there.  The Packers/Bears rivalry is an ancient one and is ongoing.

Outside of the NFC North I always take a keen interest in the NFC East games.

Doesn't help when in my time of watching NFL, majority kid the time the niners have been decent and the Rams crud.

Not a lot wrong with those predictions. I do feel the Giants will push the Cowboys and I actually wouldn't be surprised if the Panthers bottomed the NFC South. 

Mack will take out the sacks steaks. That's an absolute lock

Rams beat the Raiders, some decent highlights with Goff stepping up in the pocket, good to see. 

Definitely a QB that will do better the more help he gets. Was always going to be a challenge going from those wide open PAC-12 offenses. Hopefully we see more

Agree. Seems we are playing him exclusively out of the shotgun all pre season.

So who's up for the tipping comp again?

If we can get 5 or 6 participants, I'm happy to run it.

That makes 4 starters so far in the tipping comp ... a shout out to @cowboy_from_hell @Dappa Dan @DeeSpencer @titan_uranus @Go the Biff @pantaloons @DemonDave & @layzie

If any of you blokes are keen to participate in the tipping comp,  just join in whenever.  We'll probably end up with at least 5 or 6 players so it's all systems go.  Any newcomers are welcome of course.

Missing a week or 3 or starting late may not necessarily effect your chances of winning ... there are numerous weeks when no one gets a point or points.  However, the bonus weeks is where the comp is usually won & decided.

Bonus weeks are weeks 2, 5,  7,  9,  11,  13,  15 & 17 (2 points are on offer with week 17 worth 3 points)

It's easy to play ... just select 3 road teams in any particular week who you think can win ... if all 3 win you get the points.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
