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.

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

I like the eagles down the field vs the saints, I think if Foles gets good pocket time he could shred the saints secondary.

Also like the colts. Be interested in seeing Pmah on the big stage.

If Dallas and Eagles win, Texas may be sucked into the earth next weekend.

KC way too good ... smashed the Colts in yards gained especially in the first half.  But the surprise was the KC defence - superb.  The stats were padded-out in the 2nd half but the Colts were never in it. 

All that without a Mahomes TD pass so the upside is there as well.  At home again next week vs Pats or Chargers.

Not exactly home field advantage for the Rams with so many Cowboy fans in the building ... it's more like a neutral field.  Dallas 7 Rams 3 after that Amari Cooper TD.

 

Edit:  And just like that the Rams go out to a 20 - 7 lead with 2 minutes to go in the first half.  Dallas with the ball.  The Cowboys don't seem to have an answer to the Rams running game - a massive 162 yards already with Anderson & Gurley dominating.

Rams win in impressive style with a supreme running game being the standout feature ... either at home to the Eagles next week or at the Saints. 

Either way,  the Rams have got their game going again - they're going to be hard to stop.

Hard luck there @Dappa Dan  ... only radio my end but it sounded like the Eagles put in a mighty effort.  The Saints covered Tate very well who seemed to be Foles' go-to man (more so late in the game?)

Stopped your run as well but you still could have won the game with an extra completion or 2.  But at New Orleans is always difficult and the home crowd noise via the radio coverage was deafening.  Going up 14 - 0 had no effect on the 12th man.

It will be the same next week for the Rams who will also need to find a way to quell Rivers,  Kamara,  Ingram & Thomas.

2 points on offer for each winner next week

n.b. A total of 5 points available for the SB winner with 2 of those points acting as bonus points if your winning team's score falls within 3 points of the actual winners score.

So there is a total of 9 potential available points for the last 3 games of the playoffs.

Im hoping we have a good plan for that but also that they struggle with our 1-2 running crew! 

Getting on plane soon to head home,  so first thing tomorrow morning I’m watching the game.

See they held zeke pretty well, which makes me happy.

Yeah, was moreso Alshon and Ertz on that last drive. Really did feel like it was inevitable after the roughing the passer penalty. Seemed the gods wanted Foles to keep going.

I think Rams play KC in superbowl, but i'll have a closer look.

Yeah,  I was hearing Foles to Tate a fair bit but must have been on the earlier drives.  Speaking of drives,  good teams seem able to have long drives as part of who they are. 

The Saints being no exception with that 90+ yard,  18 play drive that seemed to go on forever ... proved the difference as the Eagles just couldn't get hold of the ball and then keep it. Yet,  a couple more completions on that last drive and you possibly/probably win the game.

It will be one hell of a match-up.  Same goes for the AFC. 

In the end,  we got the best 2 teams from each conference so bring it on.

    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
