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.

Commitments kept me away from this site for most of the last couple of months so I only sporadically tipped (plus I lost a bit

of interest in this NFL season when it became apparent the Niners were going to go from Superbowl participants to also rans due to one of the most savage injury lists I've ever seen).
Nevertheless thanks again for putting this on each year @Macca its appreciated as it gets me hyped at the start of every year to have a crack at tipping...

Yeah thanks Dave

And thanks for playing your part.  I usually post up more on the NFL in general but have been quite busy with work this last 2 years

So running the comps has been about it!

Gorg keeps plugging away though and Dappa should be back soon enough as well

It's a great sport to follow in our Spring/Summer as 7Mate broadcasts 2 games a week (and all the playoffs) ... youtube has a host of action & highlights so it's easy to keep up even without cable

The season is way too short though!

Your 49ers have been up and down in the recent past but so much can depend on the QB.  But very good (QB) can work in the absence of exceptional

Need a good team regardless of the QB ... as we saw with Tampa who were good/great everywhere.

To restrict KC to 9 points was remarkable.  Tom,  Gronk,  Fournette,  Jones & Evans were the cream on top (if one believes in the philosophy that defence wins Championships)

RE: Shaw Barrett I loved his game too. Personally would have loved him to get MVP he really set the tone for the game and brought the heat to Mahomes time and time again. Historically though if you don't do something crazy like run a pick back for a touchdown you don't get a look in.

Russell Wilson looks like he is angling towards leaving Seattle!!!

Eagles wanting the same sort of Draft picks for Wentz.... ha ha what!?!?!??

Seems that way for the first time in his career. Made it pretty clear he's unhappy with their line.

Also belated thanks to @Macca for the comp. But not too much thanks because I never come close to winning!

Wilson possibly moving?  I thought he was firmly entrenched at Seattle.  We've seen Goff & Stafford move so you never know

The chat about Rodgers has dissapated but both QB's have sounded-off which disappoints me somewhat.  Behind closed doors is where the chatter should stay

And apparently the Colts offered just 2 x 2nd rounders for Wentz and that's the best offer they've had (according to Ron Jaworski)

Wentz looked like the next big thing until his injuries ... now looks a shadow but I'd like to see him have a clear run at it before drawing a line

I reckon this off season will be brutal. So t think Wilson will traded but will he is already demanding a better oline so he doesn’t get sacked as much.

It's different to what we usually hear from the usual 'get on with the job' Wilson we usually hear. Got that bumper deal just 12 months ago but the guy obviously wants to win. 

I also think Pete Carroll has gone a bit stale in his play calling in recent years, doesn't vary it up much. Does he trust Russell enough? Speculating of course.

There is also rumours of a Wentz ertz and first rounder package. The Eagles oline was putrid. No one was kept clean. He has the skills but wether that knee has really hurt him. He doesn’t move as freely.

On Wilson, he wants a new oline, he blatantly said he is sick of being hit. And wanted to have a say in who they sign and draft.

I hope he leaves. I’d happily not have him in the NFC West. Although we did sack him about 16 times this year.

This is the Dan Patrick interview yeah? Had a bit of a Mick Malthouse Carlton about it :p saying hes been sacked 400 times and 'we need to do better'.

I say get the paperwork out and direct swap for Jimmy G.

There will always be a special sort of hatred for the niners.

I hated the Rams growing up. They were easily our bitterist rivals. But then the greatest show on turf and that Superbowl run a few years ago, you wanted to hate them and did but they just looked so darn good doing it. It would have been like hating Barcelona in their prime. 

The Seahawks on the other hand is such a manufactured hatred, although the Harbaugh vs Carroll thing a few years back brought some feeling to it. Other than that it's just meh and they always beat us anyway.

For me growing up and losing to Montana and Moss was painful and when he retired you though ok, might be ok enter steve Young... sigh. 
 

GSoT was great until we stuff up the SB and gave Brady his first win.

 

And I hate the Seahawks. Pete Carroll annoys me, I hated Sherman (still do) but appreciate Ailson and beast mode. 
oh and hate their fans.

Pete Carroll annoys me too, I can't figure out why other than because it's Seattle. I like the Trojans. I think he's a good coach but I also kind of feel like he lucked out with Wilson. 2 failed head coaching stints and 2 x 7-9 Seattle seasons before RW got there. 

I did like Kam Chancellor though back when you could hit.

I think Pete has a punchable face and the big open mouth chewing annoys me.

His fault they don’t have 2 SB rings. If he calls a Lynch run they score and they win.

Tim.Tebow is back in the NFL!

Signed a 1 year deal with the Jags as a tight end.  I hope he does alright

33 years old now but he'd be fit & healthy you'd imagine

I can’t see this working very well, but he is costing them sod all. And the jags will be poor so nothing lost if it doesn’t work.

Where will Julio Jones land? 

Pats seem to be offering for him. It will be weird seeing him in anything but a Flacons top.

    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
