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.

New addition for the post-season tipping comp (assuming we get enough starters)

Working on the premise that we continue to post scorelines (as we've traditionally done) we could make the most of those scorelines

 

Week 1 ... 1 point per win plus a bonus point if your margin of victory falls within the actual margin.  i.e. 1-6,  7-12,  or over 12

Week 2 ... 1 point per win plus a bonus point using the same margin criteria as week 1

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for the correct margin criteria

Super Bowl ... 5 points for the win plus 5 bonus points for the correct margin (1-6,  7-12 etc)

We can just continue to post up the scorelines as we've done previously and I can work out the rest of it (with the possible aid of a proof-reader!)

All feedback is most welcome but a tipping system where interest is maintained throughout is the ideal outcome

 

n.b ... the margin of victory would need to fall into the 1-6,  7-12 or over 12 margin to qualify for the bonus point (or points)

Saints match was the trap game ... still,  GtB got the points (point) and if the Steelers win,  DZ as well

Washington now lead the NFC East with a 6 & 7 record.  No guarantee that they will win another game though!

Worth a look

 

 

Was an amazing game. My emotions were going nuts for the game itself and the fact I was on the verge of two multis coming up winners. Alas, it wasn’t to be, like the Browns failed mine both failed on one browns player each. 1.5yts to Chubb gets me $95, 8yrds to Landry gets  me $590.

The Browns/Ravens game was an absolute beauty.  Highlights aplenty!

The Browns lost no friends and they will be more than nuisance value if they figure in the playoffs

Meanwhile the Rams & Packers are likely to meet in the playoffs unless 1 or both teams get knocked out early

Not sure what to make of the bye ... the Packers need continuity but maybe they don't?  We should win out but the Titans game is tricky.  Bears in week 17 might not be relevant

The only thing the browns did wrong in the end really was they left too much on the clock but you can’t manage that when you need to score a TD.
 

in regards to GB matchup, Not even looking that far ahead. We have a winless team this week and I’m worried as hell!!! Then Seahawks and Cards who are looking for a wildcard spot and Seahawks want to win the division. 
cant see Seattle losing so rams must win all games.

At Seattle without a crowd ... even money bet

You'll take care of Arizona at home in week 17 and as for the J.E.T.S,  you're worried?

The line should be 35 for that game!!

Mate I’ve seen enough of my teams stuff it up vs crap teams and now Darnold is going to be replaced he will be out to prove to other teams he is worth taking.

Vital point picked up by 'Go the Biff' when no one else picked up a point (the Saints knocked most out)

Just a reminder that we play for 2 points this week and also in week 16 whilst in week 17 we play for 3 points.  So a total of 7 points are still available.  For most of us,  we'll need to take some risks

Good luck all! (a few standouts but it's still a tricky week)

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
