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.

Here is Winx winning today ... 26 in a row with the large majority of those wins being of Group 1 status.  What a champion racehorse. 

The best in the World. 

 

We were lucky to witness it. Will be talked about for decades

Thanks to Laddies I can at least say I've won money on the horse other than involving the horse in an exotic bet! ?

And as a follow-up to Black Caviar,  we've been very lucky Wadda.  I prefer to not necessarily separate the great ones.  Why can't the select elite be all great?  Like Barassi,  Flower,  Ivor Warne-Smith & Norm Smith.

For instance,  most horse racing enthusiasts are reasonably familiar with Phar Lap's record and Makybe Diva of late but here's Tulloch's record ... I distinctly remember Tommy Smith always talking about how great the horse was and for good reason.  The horse had a major injury as well and therefore missed a lot of racing during its peak years. 

All 5 of the aforementioned horses were classed as the World's best or close to the World's best or would have been in the case of the 2 champs from long ago.

Yep, right on the money Macca. I thought i was lucky to witness Sunline and Makbe Diva, but these 2 are in a class of their own esp Winx.

Speaking of champions the races are on at Ballarat today....DK Weir anyone? I notice he only has a couple in today, both favourites in race 1 and 4. Not paying that much but multi them up with a few other place getters or a fav from somewhere else perhaps. Some great wins yesterday. Well done team.

I've got 'Bit Of A Lad' going with a couple of others in a treble so there's some Weir representation Wadda ... should win.  Small field means the jockey can place the horse wherever he wants.  Probably 2nd for the most part?

It's a little bit different in the major feature race though (Grand National Chase Race 6) ... there are at least 3 genuine chances.  A half-decent trifecta race so I might have a go.

I see Paddy Payne put a couple in. I like to follow Paddy. He trains them very well.

Melbourne Cup Watch?

Just watched Marmelo run in the Group 2  Darley Prix Kergorlay at Deauville. Sent out a $1.80 favourite and couldn’t reel in the eventual winner. Finished second by a couple of lengths and looked to hang towards the outside down the straight. Race caller feels he lowered his colours today. He’s in the markets for the Cups, unsure about plans on coming down under though.

Good idea Wadda, will start researching early for the Cups. Here’s an article on three imports, Tosen Basil included.....interesting comments by Weir.

Weir said Admire Robson and Cassius were on their best behaviour while Tosen Basil needed to improve his race-day manners.

"He's was quite rowdy and boisterous, something that needs a bit of work on," Weir said.

Ha ha, why wouldn’t the Basil be rowdy and boisterous? We just made the finals!!!!!!!

I like the Japanese horses, had success with Delta Blues in the 2006 Melbourne Cup and Admire Rakti in the 2014 Caulfield Cup. Shame what happened with the latter in the aftermath of the 14’ Melbourne Cup.

Was at the Caulfield Cup that day when Delta Blues and Pop Rock took the quinella. We walked past the stable before the race and there was about 20 Japanese people inside jumping up and down.....me and my mate really noticed it and put some bets on. Did well that day.

Wow!  Impressive copy & paste there DZ ... I believe I mentioned the match-up against Sandbar for Santos last week back but there's some decent opposition apart from Sandbar. 

Performer,  Plague Stone & Dio D'ora round out at least 5 genuine chances in the race.  The 1100m might suit Santos the best though.   Small field but could well be a good betting race with so many chances.

Ha Ha...thanks Macca.

I remember you mentioning the match-up between Sandbar and Santos last week. This race should be a beauty, I can’t wait. Final fields will be out tomorrow of course and will start the studying as soon as they are listed. 

I’ll have the latest on Santos later in the week.

I have still got visions of Performer veering off the track and in the process throwing Hughie Bowman off.  Scary moment that was.  And Performer was the early favourite for the Slipper from memory. 

There's a slight lull this week with only 5 Group or Listed races out of the Rosehill & Moonee Valley meetings but the rest of the program's at each venue are still quite solid.  Still,  the 5 Stakes races have a number of well performed familiar horses engaged.

Yes, how we can we forget the famous Performer sidestep and he was an early favourite for the Slipper. That was a nasty fall.

Must be time soon for the ‘Team Trifecta’ Macca. Happy to go again when you find a suitable selection of races.

Well DZ I thought I'd hold off whilst we got the Best Sports bet off and running on the other thread.  Just having to find 2 picks works quite well doesn't it?  We'll probably have it down pat in no time. 

So I did have my eye on the Memsie Stakes on the 1st of Sept as that race looks like attracting a top-notch field.  There are 3 or 4 other decent races on that weekend so it doesn't have to be the Memsie.  Here are the early odds ...

Love your thinking Macca.....start of September sounds really good to kick off the ‘Trifecta’ amongst other things if you know what I mean. ?

Wow, hot field above.....good old ‘Tom Melbourne‘ resuming in September.....sorry, enough with the ‘Omens’.

September is now going to be chock-full of sports where we've multiple interests.  Fantastic.

Demons,  Racing,  Rugby League finals,  Baseball playoffs later on in the month and of course the NFL starts as well.  Speaking of which ...

Your Chicago Bears are playing Wadda's & my Green Bay Packers at Lambeau in the first week of the NFL regular season (Monday Sept 10th) The biggest and oldest rivalry in American Football. 

Hopefully we'll see both of you gentlemen on the NFL thread ... at least for the tipping comp.

Yeah, I’d love to come over and join in the tipping comp, I’ll start only with that, haven’t followed the NFL as closely the last few years, I’ve been reading the thread every few days though. 

NHL commencing in October to follow all the madness of September. Good times ahead Macca.

Tim Clark rode him last prep in all races. Santos finished second in a trial a couple of weeks ago, not sure what’s going on there. 

We’ll go with Performer, no Sandbar either.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head.
