Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Rams Seahawks massive implications all over the place. Rams off to a good start.

Looks like Seattle haven't got over losing last week.

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

Jeez the finish in the Pats/Steelers game. Thought that wasn't a TD but the ball should have been placed at the 1 yard line?

Thanks 49ers for beating the Titans.

Did the Steelers player have control of the ball then fumble it?

Not sure. I was watching Redzone on my phone and could not tell if control was lost, but his knee was down with the ball short of the endzone. I'm not completely across the rule for catches and knee down. Running play would have been ruled down at the 1.

Not sure anyone knows what a catch is Clint ... 'upstairs' adjudications can vary to say the least!

Edit:  Having now seen the catch/non catch I reckon they need to clean the ruling up. 

I believe the Steelers player caught the ball and was in control of the ball when it broke the plane ... so it's a TD.  The ball can be dislodged in other ways when the ball has broken the plane but in those situations the TD is given. 

So make the ruling uniform.

Barring a minor miracle the AFC will be decided through New England ... if NE had have lost today they would have fallen to the 3 seed.  But opposition teams often make basic errors against them - time & time again. 

Today Pittsburgh didn't double-team Gronk enough which gave the Pats an easy TD and then the Steelers needlessly turned the ball over right at the death.  And then there's 'that' catch which was overturned.  As a result of all that the Pats are on track to win the AFC again (at least)  Of late,  only 2 AFC contenders (KC & the Ravens) have won in Foxborough.  

Over in the NFC the Rams have put their foot down ... so much so that they might have knocked Seattle out of the playoffs completely.  The Seahawks,  Cowboys & Detroit all need Atlanta to slip up now ... or one of the other 10 & 4 NFC South teams. 

The Eagles have secured a bye going into the playoffs and should be able to hold on to the 1 seed in the NFC.  The Vikes are gearing up for the playoffs whilst the Saints & Panthers both should make it. 

I reckon any number of teams can win the NFC - it might come down to who gets hot at the right time.

Looks like your new avatar is bringing you good fortune Gorgo ha ha

You'd have to lose your last 2 and Seattle would need to win their last 2 in order for the Rams to not win the NFC West. 

I've worked the playoff machine a number of times and I've got the Rams winning the NFC West and getting the 3 or 4 seed each time. 

Meanwhile,  the Eagles only need to win 1 of their last 2 games to secure the 1 seed.  As it stands,  the Vikes should get a bye in the playoffs as well with just 1 more win from their last 2 although the Panthers can get the 2 seed if they win out.

The other real interest lies with the 2 wild-cards in the NFC & with the AFC.  Any number of teams are in the mix and those spots almost certainly won't be decided until the last week of the season.

You're right - the Vikes would have to lose their last 2 and that's unlikely ... they've got the Bears at home in week 17 preceded by a visit to Lambeau next week.

Falcons were not convincing today.

Yeah we're not going past the WC week if we make the playoffs.. Bucs were missing multiple starters & copped a ton of injuries during the game not to mention the Bucs are a 4-10 team who haven't had a bye this year & we were coming off a mini bye playing TNF to MNF & our defense looked gassed and our offense is shell of 2016. If the Bucs kicked that game tieing FG I reckon we lose. The saints will demolish us this week

Unfortunately for you guys you have the saints and the Panthers. Very hard games, but they just might be what you need to get going.

Leaderboard in the comp

14 - Clintosaurus

11 - Go the Biff

10 - Dappa Dan

7 - Macca

4 - JV7,  Gorgoroth

Only 1 point on offer this week but week 17 has 3 points up for grabs ... Any of the top 3 can still win (outright or joint winner) but Clint does hold a strong advantage. 

Some excellent match-ups again this week ... Bills @ Pats,  Falcons @ Saints,  Rams @ Titans & Seahawks @ Dallas amongst them.  

6 road teams stand out as potential winners ... The Rams,  Pittsburgh & the Chargers are strongly favoured.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
