  • 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’ve enjoyed it a lot, due to covid etc it’s certainly different and then flipping between the two squads means you get less fill. 

Yeah sound worthwhile cheers! I would have liked one solely on the Rams this year I just think that would be an interesting training camp to be around at the moment and how they are looking to rebound.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

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

Watching McVay is awesome, he is such a personality, he is always on.

@Gorgoroth  @Dappa Dan  @DeeSpencer  @JV7  @Dee Zephyr  @Go the Biff  @titan_uranus  @layzie  @cowboy_from_hell  @Clintosaurus  @DemonDave  @pantaloons  @Strafford  @Cards13  @old dee  @daisycutter 

Tipping comp again?  We get 5 or 6 starters it's a goer

Reigning champ is JV7 whilst other winners include Gorgoroth (twice),  Dappa Dan,  DeeSpencer,  Clintosaurus,  Cowboy_from_Hell & Strafford.

From 3 picks tip 3 road winners in any given week is the task at hand (for those new to this thread) 

Various points* are on offer as we work our way through the season in order to find an overall winner.  It's a breeze (apparently!)

  • Weeks 1,  3,  4,  6,  8,  10,  12,  14 -  1 point
  • Weeks 2,  5,  7,  9,  11,  13,  15,  16 - 2 points (Week 16 used to be worth 1 point only but now is worth 2 points)
  • Week 17 - 3 points

Well we've certainly got enough starters for the tipping comp but a shout out to @Dappa Dan  @Go the Biff  @titan_uranus  @Dr. Gonzo or anyone else who wants to join in the fun & frivolity.

3 only picks per week but all have to be road winners ... it's that simple.  Various points are awarded to those who get 'em right. 

Anyway,  here's a couple of previews for week 1 as well as the game listings again. (n.b. you'll have to click on the youtube link to view the NFL Network clips)

With 14 teams now making the playoffs the 1 seed from each conference are the only 2 teams to get a bye I believe

2 v 7,  3 v 6 & 4 v5 is the playoff pattern in each conference but I stand corrected on that. To be honest,  I'm tuning in late to proceedings so trying to catch up.  6 playoff games in week 1 of the post-season could get a bit hectic in terms of trying to watch all the games.

AFC East - Pats

AFC North - Ravens

AFC South - Colts

AFC West - KC

Wildcards - Bills,  Steelers,  Titans

NFC East - Dallas

NFC North - Packers

NFC South - Saints

NFC West - 49ers

Wildcards - Eagles,  Vikings,  Seahawks

n.b.  7Mate are covering the Pats/Miami match (Early) and the 49ers/Arizona game (Late)  No SNF or MNF though and that might be the ongoing schedule (just the 2 televised games every week)

Wow nice way to wreck a morning! Got sliced by Deandre Hopkins all morning and when Kittle got hurt did nothing after. My expectations are tempered this year though, I think it's going to be real tough to win the division and can even see us finishing 4th with a winning record.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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
