  • 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.

Vikes D gave it their all while the offense looked like something mark neeld was coaching. That's it for our season. Detroit winning gives them a 2 game buffer and our chances of a wild card are slim. That 2 point conversion  should've been a penalty for contact to Bradford's head but the refs missed it.

Good lord... 2 point attempt gets picked by Eric Berry & returned for 2 points. Going for 2 is the right call to make it an even 3 point game. Chances of it being picked & returned for 2 are slim but it happened. Where Dan Quinn went wrong was going on 4th & 1 from the 10 early in the 3rd, kick the FG & then going for 2 earlier in the 4th which failed. Take the FG & XP & that last play doesn't happen and we win. Everyone says our defense is terrible but the Cheifs scored 9 points from turnovers & 7 from a fake punt which turned into a 55 yard TD :mellow: We head to LA next, not so confident.. & the Bucs have found life the NFC South is alive.

On another note anyone see the 49ers ?? More sacks given up then passing yards, that is actually unbelievable

The throw was terrible and prior to the hit. But the hit should have been called.

Get footage and watch our last two games. You will be fine.

It was pointed out if we win 3 of our last 4 game we go 7-9

Ha ha.

Loving the Buccs on the rise. 

That 2 point return was insane, the fake punt even better.

 

And the only team.to lose to the niners??? That's right, Fisher, super coach!!!

I hope we have plenty of salary cap cos we will need to buy and offence.

Felt for Goff, had 5+ throws onnthe chest and the WR plain dropped them, one they hit up and got intercepted. 

Erggghhh get this season over with so I can look forward to fisher being fired next year.

4 weeks to go and the race to the finishing line is on (in the tipping comp) ... every point is vital including the 1 point on offer in week 14.  There are a few decent chances this week so not picking up a point could be costly.

I'm telling you ain't too confident against your Rams Gorgoroth

You have a good offence, average defence.

we had a good defence super poor offence, now our offence is just poor but our D has become very very average, if we get Quinn back this week that will def help as him and Donald are two very good D linemen.

I can't see us beating you unless our D hold you to 17 points or less.

we need to start fast and maintain it until at least the half. We have had some good first drives then the next few would be poor keeping our D on the field way too long.

Watched Cheifs & Raiders last night... Raiders were pretty poor. Carr couldn't get going, seemed to be struggling with that pinky finger injury. The cheifs defense has what it takes to win the whole thing.. Watched them the past 2 weeks and for a side I haven't really seen too much before they have been impressive. Raiders got 3 turnovers all in Cheifs territory & the Cheifs D only gave up 3 points, impressive stuff.

Romo being talked about again ... no surprise really, it was only going to take 1 loss like the one Dallas had yesterday.  On top of that, Romo is being paid a hell of a lot of money to sit on the sidelines 100% of the time.

If Prescott starts having another off day in their next 3 games, I can see Romo at least being given some phases during any of those games.  And that may be enough for the switch-back to happen.  Dallas' next 3 - vs Tampa,  vs Detroit then @ Philadelphia.  Jerry will probably find an opportunity for Romo in that string of games.

Some other observations ...

  • Miami, Tennessee & Houston are making claims in the AFC and any of those 3 teams are genuine chances to advance
  • The Broncos might be in trouble - next 3 ... vs Pats,  @ KC,  vs Oakland
  • Pittsburgh are starting to hit their straps - the Ravens can't afford to slip back too far (they play against one another in 2 weeks)
  • The Vikes & Packers stay alive but both teams will need help if either are to advance ... the teams meet each other in week 16.
  • The Giants defence is A1 and they're a real smoky especially if Eli can find his best form
  • Washington & Tampa continue to win games - both teams are realistic wild-card chances ... the Falcons should now win the NFC West with their run home.  Atlanta might even snare the 2 seed.
  • Detroit's next 2 will tell us how good they might be - @ Giants,  @ Dallas.  They can wrap up the NFC North if they win both.
  • Regardless of today's result, Seattle should still be able to secure the 2 seed - next 3 ... vs Rams,  vs Arizona then @ 49ers.  They just had a bad day today and ran into a hot Green Bay.

Wow gorgoroth... Should have listened to you about how bad the Rams are. The first play of the game summed it all up! 

Yeah I knew we would lose. Fisher now has equalled the most losses.  This thurs will make him the "winner"

Rumours of Harbaugh to the Rams have started with Gurden and Shannahan also named. I can't see how he survives.  Nor should snead. Clean slate the place.  No winning season in 13 years.  

The stadium was so empty.

Equal worst record. They shoukd have let him lose to seattle this week. 

Thank [censored] he is gone!!

Reckon Kyle Shanahan would be high on your HC list. What he could do with Goff & Gurley is inticing... Yes I've done a back flip on Shanahan, would hate to lose him after the touch his put on the Atlanta offense

    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
