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.

Had one of those “ Oh Great! ” moments when they showed the stat of Parkey prior to the FG attempt of him being 2nd in the NFL for most missed kicks this season. 

I actually thought it went in off the upright initially and gave the old fist pump, only for my son to tell me I’m losing it. 

Shame, well played Eagles.

Andrew Luck might be a top-notch QB but he has taken QB-Speak to a whole new level.  It's like he is on auto-pilot once he starts talking ?

Foles is up there too. But agree, every time Luck does something good, they cut to him talking and just.... nothing happens.

And Parkey misses the 3 pointer - hits the upright!  A timely time-out by Pederson to ice the kicker.

That's a heartbreaker for the Bears. 

It actually might have clipped an eagle talon on the way through. Not sure it would have affected it too much.

So we have the Cowboys. 

If Wade doesn’t clamp Elliot and the run game McVay and co will be 0-2

I'm a bit concerned actually. I have Rams as comfortably the better team. Cowboys though, comfortably in better form... and that worked for the Eagles yesterday.

My god what a finish. I'm still blown away.

I told you we would win?Foles to Tate was a thing of beauty. Parkey is a spud. GO PHILI

Teams that love the screen game give us trouble as our game is rush the passer they let them through and just lob it over our heads. We need to contain Prescott in the pocket, make him throw, don’t allow the run game nor allow him to escape. Make him and the WR core beat our secondary. If we clamp and contain we have the players in Suh, Brockers and AD who are good enough to collapse the pocket on him.

I truly don’t know why that isn’t our go to play for every team.

LaFleur has the credentials but being the head coach is a big step-up from being a Coordinater.

I wish him well but the expectations will be to win now and make the playoffs first year in. It is not a Roos/Melbourne scenario.

I must admit I didn’t think of him for you guys, but I wasn’t sure which way out guys would go with it.

interesting choice.

Foles is just a cool dude - never fazed (which is a talent all on its own) ... where as Luck is a bit of a nerd 

But you know what Dappa?  I'd have either of them at Green Bay if Rodgers wasn't available.  They are both really talented QB's - hands down.

Yep,  clipped the fingers which is enough to affect the kick which was possibly going to fade a few metres.  So the angst against Parkey becomes uncalled for as he often fades his kicks.  The iced kick just beforehand faded left to right so we could assume that he was going to repeat the same type of kick.  But he'll have to cop it and then have to deal with it all. 

The Bears couldn't stop that final Foles drive and their trademark is stopping those types of drives with their D.  So the game is decided in other areas as well as the talked-about last play.  Still,  it was a crushing loss for the Bears.

As I would have been too - Foles seems unstoppable and I reckon if you can beat the Saints then you'll win the Lombardi again. 

But New Orleans are gonna be real tough in that dome.  The key is to remain within striking distance so you'll need your D to stand up.

Very interesting choice... He was at Atlanta as the QB coach in 2016,  how much influence he had on Ryan's MVP season... I was a big advocate of he's for the Falcons OC when Shanahan moved on..

How much did he do as OC under McVay ?? & the Titans offence didn't light it up this year. I'm sure Green Bay know what their doing just a left field choice I guess

Goff and McVay both praised him massively when he left. They talked him up big time.

High respect for Foles. The main Philly sports radio guy has hated him for years and is now leading the charge to trade Wentz. It's become a full blown QB controversy now. Personally even if he wins the Lombardi, I still want Wentz. Even if we were offered a player and a 1.

Would have been crushing for Eagles too I feel. And really, they should have lost.

Yeah... Saints can give up some plays over the top, which is what Foles does. I feel like it'll be a bit like the SB last year. Just Brees and Foles airing it out. As you say, it's all about how much Eagles can limit guys like Kamara. Our run D is our great strength on defense. But the recent game (albeit with Wentz) was a nightmare of epic proportions for Eagles. To turn around 40+ points seems too much.

TBH I reckon any of these games could go either way.

the Pats should prob have the right combos to deal with the chargers but if Rivers gets on a roll... Brady will need to be on his game.

I like the Chargers again this week... No idea why but over the last week I've taken a liking to them, wouldn't be suprised to see them win the AFC

    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
