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.

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.

    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
