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.

Well tha's it for the Eagles can't see them making the finals now losing to the Dolphins how embarrassing. There's always next year. Foles is better than Wentz.

Bring back Foles? 

Just joking!

Whichever team wins your division will probably end up playing a lot better by the end of December than either team is playing now.  So there's a bit of hope with 1 home final.  

lol

Yeah that's true. I think Cowboys, if they do improve, stand the best chance of doing damage. Eagles were dogs in every playoff they won the superbowl in.

lol Please... Wentz was in the MVP race before they won the superbowl. Not one serious football fan has Foles as a better player than Wentz. Before his line and receivers got decimated recently (could happen to anyone) he was in the top 10 QBs on most estimates.

Oh and in case you didn't notice, he threw 3 TDs, had 310 yards and only gave away the pick in the end on a hail Mary... still had 93 QB rating. They lost cos of their deplorable secondary. Not Wentz.

But sure... you go ahead and pick the guy who just got benched by the Jags for a Rookie.

Even so,  you should be able to beat Washington & the Giants (twice)

And if you beat Dallas as well you're in the playoffs.  A tougher draw and I'd say no real chance (because of the way you're playing right now) but if your offense plays to their best you can win all 4.

Win at home to the Giants and the team might just rally.  But you'll need your offense to get you over the line in all 4 games.  It's do-able.

Yeah. Cos Cowboys lost...

It's hard to get excited for though. Just knowing how it's just not a good squad. I've been gushing over the 49ers, Saints, Pats, Ravens and others all year. Just haven't seen a big time performance in even one game yet from the Eagles, even in one they've won. Just got past Packers, and beat Bills probably the only ones.

We have a new leader in the tipping comp - Gorg (former winner) has shot to the front entering the home straight!  The value of 1 point is never more evident than right now.  Tough week to find 3 road winners too.  Good luck!

Can’t believe Dallas are leading a division. Seems they are a shell of what they were. 

Yeah there often seems to be at least 1 division where we see a winner by default only.  And how many times do we see those underperforming division winners win in the first week in the playoffs?  Happens a bit

If the Rams beat them next week they will not make the playoffs and Eagles win the div.

Here's hoping all my Rams love the past couple of years gives me some cred with the football gods.

I feel that way about a number of 49ers games this year.

@Dappa Dan, tonight’s game was horrendous, but I challenge any team to play a game with only 1 WR on the field of half of it. And going into the game with only one decent WR who goes out 5 mins into the game.

In Saying that, your D didn’t look great at times and Wentz missed passes that he makes two years ago. The Eagles have i5 all in front of them, what they or the cowboys do in the last 3 weeks is undpredictable

 Week 15 already!  2 points on offer in the comp and there are more than a few road teams with a chance of winning (which includes 2 or 3 standouts chances)  Could be a trap game in amongst them though.  Good luck!

    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
