  • 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

Is it just me or does anyone else hate tipping this year?

Yes it's been a bit tiresome but one consolation is that anyone can still win outright

Usually with 2 weeks to go at least half the field is out of the running

Puka Nakua! What a steal in the 5th round.

Stroud will win OROY award but Nakua should be making the conversation more interesting, but I can’t see them not going with the QB.

Williams also a 5th rounder from last year is second in rushing only to McCaffrey and Williams missed 4 games.

Haha nice try tipping comp. Going the obvious choices has only ended in tears so something different is required this week..

Bills, Lions, Jaguars 

Eagles are very off the boil at the moment, so I wasn't tempted to tip the Giants against them this week. Too much of a long shot though so i thought better of it.

Chargers played well yesterday, unlucky in the end. I actually thought the last TD for the bills would have stood as to me it wasn’t clear that his knee was still on the ground when the hand touched which would have given the chargers 80+ seconds.

Was a good game to watch.

9 points down start of the 4th. Dak needs to show us what he’s made of now

That early turnover really cost Dallas (RB fumble) ... WR's dropped a few easy catches too

Prescott can't do it all on his own

The way I see it is that Prescott is playing a huge part and is carrying the team

The testing material was New England with Belichick, Brady and their whole team from that era and the their whole all round game

Zac is so talented that we expect miracles

I agree. Dak has stopped throwing picks which has made a huge difference. He’s playing well. Both 4th quarter drives led to scores. He’s become dependable. I had my doubts he ever would.

the cowboys oline could not protect against the dolphins pass rush (which was very good) and that was the difference in a tight game.

Good game between Boys and Dolphs. Tbh, both won’t make the Super Bowl, both are not quite good enough. 
Boys could be much better but the penalties they give away are epic!

The roughing the passer penalty against parsons was very harsh. Extended the drive which Miami translated into a touchdown. Had a big impact on the result.

True, but so did a lot of the other penalties that the cowboys do week in week out and against the good teams they get punished. 
It’s hard enough to win playoffs, it’s harder on the road when you have a poor record, harder still when you aren’t beating teams with winning records and then on top of all of that are one of the most penalised team in the NFL. 
Cut out 25-50% of the penalties, especially the false starts/ pre snap penalties and then they are prob a much better team. 
I mean they may go on a run and everything clicks then they are up to their eye balls in it, but go to SF for the championship game and give up 100+ yards in penalties and try and win.

    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,
