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.

Can't get over Goff... 17 less attempts than his oppo QB, and still got 43 more yards...

That was a cracker of a game. Probably the biggest of the season so far.

Yeah,  top class game between 2 very good teams Dappa.  You've got to wonder how the Vikings could possibly lose that badly at home to the Bills?

Costly loss as next up for Minnesota is at the Eagles.  And if one of the NFC North teams can get on a roll then the Vikings could easily be playing catch-up for the season. Mind you,  I don't believe that the Packers,  Lions or the Bears are all that great.  But you never know. 

As for the Rams,  who's gonna stop 'em?  Their defense gave up points but their offense is supreme with Goff at the helm.   And the Vikes were always likely to score with their good offense.

That's exactly where we're at. A notch or two ahead of all 31 other teams...

An ex-player on Sportscenter was saying that their defense has a few weaknesses - more so in the secondary but that might be injury related.

But all the teams get injuries so it is not a singular reason - unless that injury is to a gun QB where the back-up is way below ordinary.

The Rams will now be the hunted though so they will get dissected by all ... but having a wise-head like Wade Phillips to support their young coach is an excellent situation for them.

They are the team to beat in the NFC,  that much is true

Yeah that's probably the only obvious area. Maybe their OL? they certainly dominated tonight though.

think the one thing Wade will be harping on was the missed tackles. We had quite a few today.

That was the only thing execution wise I could find. The Thielen TD where just just pushed through...

You can surely put that down to injury though.

Gee Goff was absolutely superb. Two to Kupp and the Woods one were just great.

A day off and I still can’t watch a game of football! :(

I did just watch the extended highlights though. HUGE win for the Rams. I haven’t liked a divisional rival this much for a long time! 

Jared Goff, you can really see why he was renowned as a great deep ball guy at Cal. Amazing.

Paging @Dr. Gonzo  @titan_uranus  @DeeSpencer 

Remembering we're looking for road winners only ... the games are listed in an above post.  Good luck!

From here on in every odd numbered week carries bonus points - week 5 carries 2 points for instance.  We get another classic match-up with SNF this week and the MNF game is a good match-up too.

Yeah they've all got to be road teams Gonzo and the Vikes & KC are at home. 

If you don't get this message in time I wouldn't be too concerned ... we're all still sitting on zero points and tomorrow's games are tough.

Haha sorry mate just saw this now! Is it 3 road teams every week? If so this week I'll take

Saints, Chiefs, Ravens

Finally. Some points.

Unless you've inked in the KC win ... are we all Denver fans all of a sudden!

And what were the Colts thinking?  Crazy!

Ah yes, sorry...

Colts? I didn't see? Something about a 4th down?

With the scores tied and with less than a minute to go in overtime the Colts elected to make a play on a 4 and 4 on their own 43 yard line.  The play was broken down,  Houston then got the ball back on downs and a play later scored a field goal.

They should have punted and been happy to take the tie.  But maybe their thinking was that it's wins or nothing with 2 of their division rivals now sitting at 3 & 1.

Ah I see. I was thinking maybe it was end of regulation, in which case dumb...

But yeah. Bit of the Dougie coaching tree in there...

If it was later in the season you'd maybe understand the call but a half a win can act as a win with the tiebreak rule.   They possibly don't see the Texans as a threat so a case could be made. 

I would have taken the tie though .. they are now 1 & 3 and staring down the barrel in that division.  Reckon it's the Jags division to lose the way they're playing.

Agree.

After Eagles gave up their 3rd fourth down in overtime for stupidity, I was praying for a tie. So yeah, there are situations.

OMG, just watched the Titans v Eagles game, can't believe we got up, especially after quite possibly the most boring game I've ever seen last week against the Jags. Titan Up!

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
