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.

Diamond Jubilee Stakes June 23 in England at Royal Ascot will be Black Caviar's next start.

Will Frankel be in that race ? Activity with bookies suggests it might.

Whilst I was hoping she might go up against Pinker Pinker this Saturday, the owners are fixed on operation England.

No Dubai trip either as was mooted. I wonder what the plans might be for our Spring.

Sepoy lost to Smart Missile who then went on to beat Hay List .

The only time Smart Missile and Hay List have been entered in the same race meeting was 9th April 2011 at Randwick when Hay List came 2nd by 2.8L to Black Caviar in the T J Smith [Group 1 ] .

Smart Missile was scratched from the Sires Produce [also Group 1 ] at the same meeting.

They have never run in the same race.

So could we support the experts in racing that believe it goes something like this for best sprinters in Australasia....:

Black Caviar > daylight > Hay List > daylight >

Sepoy should race BC, but only if they both carry 65kg. ^_^

I think Sepoy is only 3 ,so should carry less in WFA but who knows .

Wish I was a part owner of either of them .

I stand corrected . But not on the fact that watching BC and Hay List run is beyond boring -although HL would be a champ in another era .

Sepoy - Yeah good horse, beaten well in the Oakleigh Plate by several. Was nice to back Woorim to a win.

Bulls#$t you did!

No good telling everyone afterwards

Just like telling us what a champion BC is after 14 wins!

HT , if there's a band-wagon ,you'll jump on it -safe bet .

Would I bullsh!t you ?

I most likely wouldn't have put it on, but my sudden interest in Sepoy and analyzing the field took precedence before the race. Given Woorim's first up form, it was a good get for the quaddie punters ..

I really should thank you for it Biffen. Having pricked my interest in Sepoy.

So, thanks !

Then why do you tout it?

Sepoy was the top weight as a three year old !

You and Dennis Naphtine can go set up another win for BC here .

Put them both over 1400 at WFA. That would be an interesting race .

Tickets please?

Haven't backed BC at all. If that's what you're insinuating. No value. Get much better value on Sepoy though, hey ?

Got 9 to 1 on him as a maiden .

Track whispers told me he might win the Blue Diamond !

Didn't think he'd get the Slipper too .

Well she has 61.5 to lump in the Newmarket if Moody has the balls to race her at that weight .

But he wont .

The streak is good-but weight can stop a train HT .

Carbine ,Northerly ,Phar Lap could carry 62 plus .

BC wont .

Put all your cash on her brother if you want a sure thing at reasonable odds .

Hawkes trained-ALL TOO HARD.

Would you send her into the race as her trainer with 61.5 ? - keeping in mind she has already won the Newmarket race with a record 58 kg.

I suppose what needs to be weighed up, is whether she is greater value traveling to the Uk undefeated. It's about the $$ now and keeping the record intact I feel.

Get the vibe re this latest news is they want the Australiasian record broken in Australia before the UK.

If she raced in the Newmarket with that weight I still reckon she would win.

Keeping the record intact seems to be the objective .

That is basically the whole thrust of my argument re greatness .

I don't think she will race in the Newmarket with that weight either .

It's good ,clever training by Moody to have an undefeated horse .

I think we may never know how good she really is until she carries the huge weights .

Her breeding value will be more than her entire career prizemoney .

About $5mill a foal I reckon .

Lucky owners .

So you Think still has his knackers I believe .Some more freakish progeny to come form her no doubt .

Just took a look at Tobin Bronze-what a freak .2 Cox Plates and a Caulfield Cup carrying 61.5 plus others .

Was asked to carry a record weight for a 3 year old. Didn't scratch ,sat up front in a wicked tempo and lost by a length .Sh%t effort?

    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
