  • 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 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

Horrific injury to Browns RB Nick Chubb on Tuesday. It was apparently so gruesome that ESPN would show a replay. Knees just aren't meant to bend that way ☹️

Steelers fans chanted Chubb's name as he was carted off the field. Take notes Collingwood, very possible for a big fanbase to act with grace.

Akers traded to Vikings for an unconditional 7th and a swap of 6th round picks. 
 

We were linked with Taylor earlier in the year, I know the Rookie running back is doing well but hasn’t faced a lot of stacked boxes yet and Taylor is a gun. Rams have $75 in dead cap this year and zero next year! 
Id do it, will help Staff stay healthy as they have to respect the run game and not know we will be throwing 75% of the time. 
 

Joe Burrow didn’t strain with his calf and Bengals said they hope he trains before Monday. Could be a huge out.

Interesting game, giants did much better than I expected with their oline banged up and Barkley out.

Their D was great on downs 1 & 2 early but wow did they screw up some 3rd and longs.

Niners are good across most of the positions, I look forward to the Dallas game when the D faces a good oline meaning the secondary will come under more pressure. I think that’s where teams will try and get them, not that it’s a big weakness just not as strong as the Dline.

McCaffrey is the key to this team. If he gets hurt then things change big time. In saying that the niners should win a SB in the next three years.

 

(Farrrrk me that hurt to type)

Cowboys not good enough today. Cardinals were very good to be fair.

Dallas defence had no answers today. Cardinals moved the ball with ease.

Penalties cost us. On big plays too (that old chestnut, McCarthy does not seem to have the cure for this disease)

Running game in good shape. Red zone offense a big problem. Can’t get it done. Couldn’t execute on a 4th and goal and picked off on 3rd and goal (Dak tried to force it).

Doing a lot right so still confident about the season ahead.

I’ve been critical of McCarthy for so long. 
He can’t seem to take that next level as a coach. 
Cowboys run game is good, got good wide outs, good D, good oline and an good QB, but Prescott is another that has never put himself truly in the top echelon of QB’s

Cards were good and elite in the red zone defensively.

We need a new QB. Dak isn't good enough, he isn't top echelon like you say. When the pressure comes on he throws interceptions.

Into the last Qtr and McVay has cost us any chance at this game so far. Absolutely idiotic play calling all game long.

Bengals second worst vs the run, we have been good and elite in the red zone, so what does he do… repeatedly throws the ball. No run plays. The fool wants the ESPN big plays and not the grafting work. It does this all the time. 
0-5 in the red zone on throws. 
McVay drinks his own bath water at times.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
