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.

Been out all day, forgot the tips. Know I’ve missed the early game but if it matters I would have gone

We will count your last 3 picks Gorg

I nearly forgot as well ... the Sunday games sneak up on you

Titans looking real good here as well.  If they maintain a 2 score lead at the half they could go on with it.

Ravens are rusty which can happen if you get the bye.

This is one insane first half so far in Kansas and it’s not even over yet.

And the Packers just got lucky there ... not sure that the ball broke the plane (Jones)

But you take the good with the bad hey?

You beat Seattle and upset Pete Carrol, everything is good! Very good!

Going to real tough at the 49ers next week though.  Happy to be in the hunt of course ... we'll have to be at our best to have a chance.

Still can't believe the Ravens didn't turn up and Houston threw away that game against KC. 

And the Titans could go all the way with the way they're playing.

Houston was weird, they let Kelce just do what ever he wanted too. That hammy strain he got is interesting, if that goes KC chances drop significantly.

Niners love the short pass over the middle. Garropolo was picked once there, and should have been another two times. 
you guys need to plug that area, make him throw elsewhere. I think your run D is good enough to contain their run. 
Your biggest concern is stopping their edge rushers. But if you run the ball down their throat early it might back them off.

That Texans-Chiefs game sure was crazy! I left for work with Houston up by 3 TDs and it wasnt even quarter time. Not a lot of composed defence
for a playoff game, although I've only seen the highlights post quartertime.


Reminds me of the regular season shootout with between Niners and Saints in week 14, we ran out winners 48-46, it was great to watch a high scoring match but not great from your teams defensive perspective.


Thought the Titans played surprisingly very well, worry for Lamar Jackson now that he's had stinkers two years in a row in the playoffs, admittedly I dont think I've seen a full game from the Ravens this year but its hard to believe he's the raging MVP favourite based on some of those throws on Sunday.

Thought the Seahawks had all the second half momentum, but time ran out for them.
That Jimmy Graham (an ex-Seahawk, oh the irony!) lunge definitely looked short
to my eyes, but it was pleasing seeing Pete Carroll lose his nut.
   
Jimmy G was surprisingly circumspect with his arm against the Vikings, but with the
3 pronged running attack gaining yards at will, I guess there was no need. I can barely
recall Kittle or Sanders making a catch of any considerable yardage. Defence was as
strong as its looked roster and score-wise since the first half of the year when Dee Ford
and Kwon Alexander were last fit.

Two interesting matchups then, I dont think the Niners will have it as easy as they did last
time against the Pack when Rodgers had one of the least effectual games I've seen him play
against pass rush.  Home field advantage and my inherent bias says Niners.

I cant see Mahones and co being stopped after their demolition job this past weekend, I'm still struggling to comprehend how a Ryan Tannehill lead team are playing so dang well. Chiefs by plenty.

I think the packers D 5 will have their hands full with the run but they are also very good. I think Kittle is key for he packers D. Stop him, break even against the run and it’s game on. 
The rush from the niners will be interesting, will the packers with their decent oline try and protect the pocket or dial up some fast quick screens and slants to make them hesitate.

Jones’s running could be key and niners need to hold Adams, those two are key.

    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
