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.

I’ll give 100/1 for Hartnell if you like Wadda?. I wonder why they chose not to run him on Saturday.

To be honest im not really a Hartnell fan and he probably wont win. I just thought i noticed something different about his run. He is a class horse.

Im still on Vega Magic, even though the bookies are taking him on a bit they said today. We also know why hes called Vega now! :)

Edit: The odds posted by Macca were prior to acceptances so maybe the betting was kept safe with Hartnell.

Ah yeah, Hartnell is not in the final field. Just saw that.

I want at least 500 then DZ!

Ha Ha. So @Macca beat me to Seabrook, Voodoo was a safe choice for me too but you’ve gone bang with him. I’ll leave Le Romain for binman, now I have to go back and look some more.

$2.80 is a good price at the moment. This should be a terrific race.

Well i guess your right, but he was sure flying at the end of the the last start Hartnell. Somebody on SEN said Kentamari will not get over being pantsed by Winx and will be unlikely to win.....

I think Le Romain might be a standout winner for a trifecta? Binman will probably best bet him as well! Hi Binman!!

Well it must be true then if 'someone' on SEN said so Wadda ? 

I wouldn't be counting out Kementari although it's up against some gun runners on Saturday - particularly Vega Magic & Happy Clapper.  Gator is convinced that the 3 will run the trifecta and nothing else can win.

Well thats what i thought Macca! Honestly, do people actually think horses have a human psyche? I just thought that was such an odd thing to say...."He was backed to beat Winx, but got smashed.....he wont get over that." ?

There would be a stack of horses that have won decent races after being beaten by Winx.  'Someone' adding to the Winx storyline for the sake of it,  me thinks. 

Happy Clapper,  Le Romain,  Hartnell,  Humidor have all won Group 1's after being beaten by Winx.  And there would be others.

Best Bet From Royal Randwick 

Race 7 - 3:50PM BISLEY WORKWEAR CHELMSFORD STAKES (1600 METRES)

Number 15 Unforgotten   $3.80 TAB

The mare’s late closing sectionals behind Winx were outstanding last start. Drawn well and although it’s a big enough field I believe there are only a few with a winning hope. She’s a pretty good mare and she rates on top for me.

Ok, so our Best so far are.....

Caulfield Race 6  No.6 Seabrook  $6.00

Royal Randwick Race 7  No 15 Unforgotten  $3.80

Caulfield: Race 8 No 3  Voodoo Lad $3.50

Those 3 combinations will snare you around 80/1 depending on whom you are placing a bet with. Dont forget as we get into spring the place bets really come into play with the bigger odds.

We await the mighty Binmans selections......Go Dees

 

Best Bet Strike Rate from Aug 1

Better standard of horse running around for us this week Wadda ... and as you have noted previously,  decent odds for those good horses because of the quality of fields.

The latest sees 6.50 available on Laddies for Seabrook,  4.50 for Unforgotten & 3.70 for Voodoo Lad.  I just put on our 3 in an all-up and got 86-1.  Will go again with all 4 with BM's choice.  200-1 for 4 high quality thorougbreds? 

We are going to land one sooner or later but the collects can happen if we use the horses individually.

My best on what might be a good day for favorites is Jaahmeh. Race 1 no 3 Caulfield.

In a small field with only one orher realustic chance, red alto, 2.20 is terrific value. Surprised it is not in the red. Though surely will tighten.

Could have gone cega magi or redzel but like races with 8 or less runners. Less chance of trouble in running.

Not much out my way in the Dandenong's but it's threatening ... it will probably be coming in from across your way so I've battened down the hatches!

Was always going to include 'Lite'n In My Veins' in race 4 and it paid off reasonably well in a trifecta ... 'Night's Watch looks a horse though. 

Missed on 'Goodfella' at Randwick and I'm kicking myself after following the horse for a bit - had it for 2nd or 3rd but should have boxed 'em.  Paid 1.5k ?

Good old Tom ran 2nd again but helped me get the trifecta so good on ya Tom!  Boxed 'em this time - once bitten twice shy!

Thus proving that there is a way to win by including Tom Melbourne in your exotics.  The horse is a very good performer that just can't find the finishing line ahead of the rest.

They weren't catching Native Soldier today ... set a decent pace and then cleared away in the straight.  Very impressive. 

Seabrook ran on for 3rd but was never it in - none of the others were.

And @Dee Zephyr  comes through with another winner.  Well done!

Top performance by 'Unforgotten' ... big future for the horse.  We might be seeing something special.

    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
