  • 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 have a breakfast/brunch tomorrow morning which will interrupt my play off watching, thank freak for IQ on Foxtel.

Ha! These 2 weeks of Sunday playoff games are brilliant. Perfect times for the games as well. Kicking off at 8.30am is ideal.

I'd keep away from this thread until you've caught up in real time! ^_^

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

Terrible drop by Richardson - now 24-7 and we've just started the 2nd quarter!

Alex Smith having a good one

The Charles hit didn't look that bad either - maybe when his head hit the ground? Doesn't seem to be effecting KC's scoring ability though.

Yeah they said in the broadcast the medicos believe it is when his head hits the turf.

Have they ever done a study on amount of concussions on artificial turf opposed to grass?

KC are smashing Indi all over the place. Colts will need a big solid first possession in the second have and hold KC to try and get them selves back in the game.

Yep, agreed. Dominant first half by KC. Alex Smith has been super impressive and Andy Reid's influence stands out. KC look really well prepared.

Luck and the Colts have a habit of big comebacks but will the Chiefs let them?

Will keep this brief:

  • Charles - unbelievable. Such an innocuous fall. To lose a guy who will likely be the MVP runner-up in the first couple of minutes of a playoff game is so, so cruel. Maybe he's faking it and we're resting him for Denver though.
  • Maybe it's my pessimism (ably backed up by Charles' injury and the fact we haven't won a playoff game in 20 years), but I don't consider this over. Negative cues I'm wary of: a Davis fumble, Mathis starts to get loose, Indy protects the ball and moves it consistently, putting points on the board.
  • I used the injuries as an excuse on here in the earlier game against San Diego and to a lesser extent a couple afterwards, but Houston and Hali make our D work. We're seeing that today.

Game on and there's plenty of time.

KC need to score on this drive. 38-24 currently

Another turnover leads to a KC field goal. 41-24.

That might be a telling 3pts gained there by the Chiefs.

Colts hit the lead - unbelievable! 45 - 44. Been a terrific game despite the turnovers.

If Luck gets them over the line here, it will be yet another huge comeback win. Still hoping for a KC win despite not picking them.

Smith needs to get them in field goal range (at least) That's a good start ...

Can someone please tell me how much we won by? I just got back from booking airfares and tickets to NY for the Superbowl.

Injuries cruelled you and not having Charles late in the game was a major influence on the ultimate result. Still should have won though. However, we at least know that Luck and the Colts have done this sort of thing on a number of other occasions.

If Bowe had somehow got his right foot in bounds on that last drive, you probably win. Fine line. Your team had a terrific year, all the same. Especially from where you were coming from.

Saints getting on top now. Philly have only scored once in nearly 3 quarters - they need to get a hurry on.

20-7 after that TD.

    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,
