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 a crazy ending to this game. 

Yeah that was a wild finish ... un-timed downs aplenty.

KC brought back to the field a bit and the Raiders win an important divisional game ... last score wins it again.

Prob won’t get to watch much of the games, might take me until Wednesday night to catch up if I get shifts on Tuesday and Wednesday.

So when can we talk to you about this first half of your guys' game?

I actually can't watch this rabble of an offense & special teams... Ryans overthrows are almost as bad as Sarkisians play calling, we are done. 

At least your whole season isn't over ... from what I saw from the Packers today, we'll be lucky to win 2 more games.  Atlanta will still win enough games to be thereabouts. 

Anyway,  McCarthy decides that we're now a team that predominately runs the ball - good luck with all that Mike.  The bottom line is that we can't win without Rodgers.

But we actually wont lol.. We haven't scored in nearly 6 quarters, so far put up 160 passing yards on the worst passing defense in the leauge. Have the ball on the 10 inch line at 3rd & goal and call the 2 worst plays you could, it's beyond belief that the offense has fallen this far, clearly was Shanahan. 

Atleast you have an excuse at GB and no expectations now that Rodgers is on IR. 

The fog in this game is ridiculous btw haha, the commentators can't see and we're watching plays from behind the QB

I'd rather have expectations and then get disappointed with a playoff loss haha

I'm now in 'MFC coached by Neeld mode'  ... anyone want that misery back?  

The Pats are showing us how good they can be in this game ... Belichick is the best coach/manager in world sport. 

Just like the Pats,  the Falcons will get their mojo back at some stage ... Panthers losing today helps and the jury is out on the Saints.

Nup I'm the opposite haha, the frustration of this offense atm is too much... I'd rather just go into games expecting the worse and hoping the best. I guarantee you we wont make the playoffs, not even close.. We'll be lucky to see off the Bucs for last place, be surprised if we went .500

Well,  I've always said that we all know our own team's very well but for your sake,  I hope that you're wrong :ph34r:

Your next 4 are ... @ Jets,  @ Panthers,  vs Dallas then @ Seattle.  That's a tough run made all the more tougher if the Jets prevail in that first encounter.

I hope I'm wrong too but I'm not holding my breath, we'll be lucky to beat the Jets, that's it I reckon... To make matters worse I fkn tipped Atlanta, FFS.

I was pretty amazed when I tuned in, at that score. Something's gone wrong. I still feel like they'll do what Dallas have done, and make the switch, and get back on track. I just can't see Julio and Ryan NOT doing better very soon.

It was disappointing. But you did call it. I had more faith in the Packers, and it turns out I got it wrong.

Having said that, I reckon you'll see them use Hundley more now. After all, what else is there to do?

I must admit that I was calling for Shanahans head mid way through his first season in 2015 but he had proven results & experience as an OC, Sarkisian hasn't been in the NFL since 2004 an that was as Oaklands QB coach... He's play calling is college like and doesn't work at NFL level. I thought the offence would regress a bit, almost impossible not too but to be shut out for basically 6 straight quarters with the reigning MVP and the weapons at his disposal, questions need to be asked. I honestly don't see us turning it around

We saw the Bengals look similar, then fire the OC, and suddenly they can score again. They definitely should make a move now. Their season isn't done, and the list has enough talent to keep them in it this year.

    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
