  • 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.

One of the best rivalries in football right now Gorg. I'm loving it. 

We're going to have our hands full in coverage, Ambrey Thomas still 50-50 and I've really liked his positioning work. Also anything that keeps that PI machine Josh Norman off the field is a plus. Kupp I'm conceding several catches to already, he's too hot right now. Can we minimise the damage from OBJ and Higbee. I don't know.

Higbee is the one to watch on third downs, he gets us more 3rd downs than any other player.

Kupp is in exceptional form. He has been quiet first halves with great second halves. 
 

To me the game with be lost and won along the two lines. Who controls the line will win the game.

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

What happened to Dap?

Not sure ... he's had breaks from this place before if I recall correctly

And if it wasn't for these other threads I would have had some time away myself!!

But now that we've broken through with the premiership ..............

Yep, we all needed a break from the main thread in that period I think.

Bills should have known Chiefs would go centre field in the last 13. It's the quickest place to run to and with the time outs they could do it. Milano on Kelce was a terrible matchup. Should have gone an extra DB.

Agree, as I’ve said earlier, double Kelce and Hill and hope the other receivers don’t get you.

Usually from November to February the only Demonland threads I visit are the NFL and cricket ones.

This year's been a touch different...

Yeah the NFL one keeps me sane. Soccer one good from time to time but it's not quite as active as this one. Sometimes go in the MMA one but it's usually just me having a conversation with myself.

But as an aside how much joy has the footy thread been this summer! Just keeps rolling on and on.

Re the tipping comp

For each of the 2 games this weekend 3 points awarded for the win & 3 points for the correct margin (1-6,  7-12,  13+)

So 12 points up for grabs

Mon 7.00am Bengals @ Chiefs

Mon 10.30am 49ers @ Rams

I reckon 5he Bengals can cause the upset, I’m just too chicken to tip them 😂

I’m doing it, need to go for broke!

Big chance for Burrow to go next level, tough but the possibility does exist in this universe I reckon.

If Burrow can play well then this like the Bills game will be high scoring and end to end.

Brady has retired.

You'd have to say that he got out on his own terms and at the top of his game

I'm a tad surprised that he is retiring but he is 44 years old.   Maybe the body said enough (or the mind)

7 x Super Bowl Champion!

What a career!

Seems the tweet which was from his account got deleted. Someone may have pulled the trigger too soon?

    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
