    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.

The Chargers will be kicking themselves after their tardy start to the season and after not looking like making it for the best part of the season,  the Falcons get to 10 wins and earn a spot.  Atlanta could be the surprise packet.

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

And we have a winner in the tipping competition!

Congratulations to Clintosaurus  who wins the competition with a record score of 15 points - well done and well played. 

Go the Biff (2nd place) stayed up near the pace all season but couldn't quite bridge the gap.  Former winner Dappa Dan rounds out 3rd place.  

Final Tally

15 - Clintosaurus

12 - Go the Biff

10 - Dappa Dan

-------------------------------

7 - Macca

4 - JV7,  Gorgoroth

Well played to all though ... the comp is easy to run from my point of view and hopefully we'll get a few more joining in next season.  We can do another post-season tipping comp as well if we can get enough takers (more on that later) 

To the victor go the spoils ...

Once again, thanks Macca.

Can't believe we are onto the post season already, the seasons seem to go quicker every year.

Just imagine being a Ravens fan at the game - gut wrenching. 

Well done to the Bills though ... 17 long seasons without playoffs and they finally make it! 

I'm gonna sayyyy.... no. Don't want to imagine being a team that missed the playoffs while being expected to make it. Don't need to imagine, really.

Bills... so great when the outsider gets in.

Well done Falcons. Personally I can't see Eagles winning in two weeks, so whoever they play will be hungry.

Well done Clint on making the hall of fame. Much deserved. An absolute rout.

New post for the hats-off to Macca. Great fun as always. Look forward to the post season tipping comp. I assume it's just pick every game, most correct picks wins?

Traditionally it's been 1 point per winner with 3 points up for grabs for the Super Bowl but ...

I'm interested in making the NFC & AFC Championship games worth 2 points for each game just to spice things up and keep people interested. 

What does everyone think? 

We've also traditionally posted up our likely score outcomes but those scores are there for interests sake only.  @pantaloons started things off that way back in 2013 and we've all just followed suit.

Sweet.

I imagine the two point thing would be great if it keeps everyone picking. So why not?

That's the idea Dappa ... if one has a poor tipping result in week 1 or week 2 of the playoffs there's still a chance at winning overall with a strong finish. 

Here are next week's games again - all times are AEDT ...

Sun 8.35am ...... Titans @ Chiefs

Sun 12.15pm .... Falcons @ Rams

Mon 5.00am ..... Bills @ Jaguars

Mon 8.40am ..... Panthers @ Saints

Work intervenes but the 2 College SF's could be good viewing ... I really only tune in at this stage of the College season but it would be good if they expanded the playoffs to 8 teams. 

Close finishes are my ideal outcomes as I don't really have a dog in any of the fights.  Alabama just made it into the playoffs but the 2 SF's are played at neutral venues.

Yeah ... it's free scoring alright.  The Americans can't get enough of it though. 

My interest extends to the playoffs (only) like I often am with a few other sports (Rugby League,  the pointy end of a number of soccer cups,  Super Rugby,  NHL etc etc)

Noted NFL insider Adam Schefter is saying that Jon Gruden is set for the Oakland Raiders job.  A huge story if true.  Jack Del Rio has been fired to make way? 

If it happens Gruden will end up coaching out of Las Vegas.

Chuck Pagano has been sacked as the Colts coach

Everyone has chased Gruden, the money he could get out of Vegas would be insane. 

Not sure Raiders should be his go tho.

Browns have picks 1 and 4. Need to make them count this year.

They could draft a couple of busts again! :ph34r: ... and I've yet to witness anyone ever being able to predict a bust (or at least being able to do so consistently)

The criticism of draft choices that go South nearly always comes after the event. 

 

Yeah, and super quick to dismiss players who don't instantly perform.

Could Kizer make it with a decent offense around him? Would he be worse than Bortles? 

Browns will go for a QB at 1, if they dont I think the fans will burn the stadium down.

Now to see if that college QB nominates for the draft or stays at school.

Yep,  agree with all that Gorg.

The Browns just have to keep going back to the well with fingers crossed ... the Sixers (NBA) and the Raiders have also both had horrendous luck with drafting but both franchises are now slowly starting to come good. 

All that tanking and then they draft busts!  Drafting is often a cruel beast.

8 new teams make the playoffs ... which means that 20 different teams have made the playoffs in the last 2 seasons.  Quite amazing. 

I'm not sure there's another sporting league in the world where the parity is as it is in the NFL.  Every team has 167 million to spend on player salaries which should mean that every team gets to have it's fair share of top-end talent.  Except for the Browns it seems :ph34r:

It's right up there with their crowning achievements I reckon. Their innovation is world best. Meanwhile Soccer is stuck, Baseball is a joke... AFL is improving, but still along way to go.

Good season of tipping and banter in here. Thanks @Macca for organising and I'll be in the post season version for sure.

Hopeful the Jags can get past Buffalo and Pittsburgh to the AFC Championship Game. Good luck to everyone else with teams in the playoffs.

    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

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    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
