  • 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'll have another go and try to stick with it this year.

AFC North: Steelers
AFC East: Bills
AFC South: Titans
AFC West: Chiefs
Wildcards:  Pats, Chargers, Browns
In the mix: Ravens, Dolphins, Broncos

NFC North: Packers
NFC East: Washington FT
NFC South: Bucs
NFC West: Rams
Wildcards: 49ers, SeaHawks, Saints
In the mix: Cowboys, Vikings, Falcons

Teams in Bold are the ones I think are genuine superbowl contenders. 

AFC North and NFC West (both 3 genuine chances) and the AFC South (0 great teams) probably the hardest to pick.

MVP: Stafford

The lines are up and the first game is on Friday! (Dallas @ Tampa 10.20am) ... decent precursor to the big game on Friday evening.  Go Demons!

MNF is Baltimore @ Las Vegas (in the new Allegiant Stadium) whilst SNF is an interesting match-up (Bears @ Rams) 

Other standout encounters include Steelers @ Bills,  Packers @ Saints,  Browns @ Chiefs & Seattle @ Colts

We've got an extra game in the NFL!  Caught me out

Means we've got an extra week in the tipping comp ... so rather than change anything it might be best to just add another 3 points to be up for grabs in week 18

Gives us a big finish (2, 2, 3 & 3 points) and keeps the interest up, right to the finish (especially for those lagging behind)

Listened in to today's game only ... anyone watch live and thoughts?

Browns chiefs is a seriously good game.

Rams did it well with Stafford

Aaron Rodgers benched?  Jeepers!  Could be a long season and we're in week 1

Score early flattered the Rams. Our D wasn’t great but since we don’t play any of our starters each year we start a bit loose and tighten up. Much more comfortable with Stafford under centre that’s for sure.

Packers D was horrid. And the O not much better. 
 

Chiefs/Browns game was fun to watch. (Switched over from pack game)

No points won in the comp ... 2 points up for grabs next week before a couple of 1 pointers in weeks 3 & 4

From then on the odd numbered weeks are worth 2 points except for the final month

Week 15 - 2 points

Week 16 - 2 points

Week 17 - 3 points

Week 18 - 3 points

I can't believe the Ravens lost to the Raiders. Such a crazy finish. The Raiders defense does look stronger and they'll always be able to do something on offense. Interesting team.

Cardinals, Eagles and Saints the big winners from week 1. Time will tell if they are quality teams or not. The Eagles jumping up in the NFC East as the Cowboys (turnover luck) and Washington continue to be lopsided teams would be very NFC East.

Packers and Titans the big losers in terms of teams expected to be at the top of their (very weak) divisions.

I still say the Raiders biggest problem is Carr misses easy gains all too often. 
if he fixed that he (and the raiders) would be a much much better team. 
TBH the Ravens blew that game. But it’s game 1, and I still don’t rate Jackson as a great passing QB. Contain him and the run game and make his pass. He is good but less dangerous than running around.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
