  • 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.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

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

The Bills do have something to play for because if they win, they win their division!

2 days ago there was a chance they were going to miss the playoffs altogether

Thanks for running it again Macca! Legend!

Amazing finish and of course if the Eagles had not have fallen in a hole, the leaderboard would have had a completely different look

Those who tipped away from the Eagles were on the money.  The Jags losing put a few out as well

A whole year of upset losses and this week was no different

Been a good game and Josh Allen is must viewing (mostly good with the odd, costly, unexpected error)

Miami's defence has been very good in the red zone.  Leading 14-7 at the end of the 3rd quarter, I reckon they win

Another costly dropped catch by Miami ... punted it away 4 in a row now

Bills can put the game away with this drive (leading 21-14 with 5:28 left in the game)

Fantastic 2nd half from Josh Allen ... overall has thrown for 370 yards with 2 TD's, 2 interceptions, 1 fumble and has run for 69 yards

1:17  left and Miami have got the ball back.  PI so Miami on the Bills 40 yard line (14-21 so they need a TD)

Interception!!  Bills win the division

Wild Card Weekend Schedule (AEDT)

Sun 8.30am  Cleveland (-2) @ Houston (+2)

Sun 12.00pm  Miami (+3) @ Kansas City (-3)

Mon 5.00am  Pittsburgh (+9.5) @ Buffalo (-9.5)

Mon 8.30am  Green Bay (+7) @ Dallas (-7)

Mon  12.00pm LA Rams (+4) @ Detroit (-4)

Tues  12.15pm Philadelphia (-2.5) @ Tampa Bay (+2.5)

A really good selection of games with maybe Dallas and Pittsburgh being the only clear favourites

So, if we get enough starters, we can have another post-season tipping comp

Here's how it works ...

Straight winners & margins (1-6, 7-13,  13+ or post up your scorelines)

Week 1 ... 1 point per win plus 1 bonus point for each correct scoreline bracket

Week 2 ... 2 points per win plus 2 bonus points for each correct scoreline bracket

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for each correct scoreline bracket

Week 5 ... 5 points for the SB win plus 5 points for the correct scoreline bracket

You can use the above list of games (copy & paste) to post up your tips but don't forget to add a scoreline or points bracket (1-6,  7-12 or 13+)

A 2nd chance at tipping glory without the arduous task of trying to find road winners!!

I'll prompt up everyone tomorrow or Wednesday but feel free to go early on your tips

I'll wrap up the regular season tipping comp soon enough but well done to Gonzo (winner) and those that finished on the podium (DemonDave, Gorgoroth & layzie)

And thanks to all for your participation

RAMS WIN!!!

And with a very handy back-up in Carson Wentz as QB (who played well)

There was a time where Wentz was regarded as close to the best in the league

Still, you can only really play 1 QB so Stafford will be involved in every offensive play 

If you can get over Detroit, it's game on but that first wild-card win is the key.  I could say the same about the Packers but the Cowboys at BigD is a huge assignment for such a young team (Packers)

But your Rams have a lot of experience so you have that playoff experience over the Lions.  Bookies have Detroit at -4

Be interesting, both sides got a little banged up, but I didn’t expect the rams to even get 6 wins so I’ll take a wild card spot.

Yeah same

A nothing to lose attitude can sometimes be good in terms of taking chances

And the Packers definitely have to take risks to beat Dallas ... for instance, we can't be satisfied with 3 pointers at BigD.  Going to have to score 3 or 4 TD's to have any sort of chance.  As it stands, it's a big ask but you never know

Dallas is a big ask but their crowd and town expect big things, so the pressure is right on them. 
Love has proven enough this year but a good play off game vs a great D would give him and. The team huge confidence going into next year.

Right now at this point in time I'm edging towards the Rams. Laporta is a huge out.

Agree. I'm really impressed with Love this year. Good offensive coach, solid running game, a few reinforcements and they could be back with a bang.

    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

I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
