I am an extremely passion Dees supporter

We have not won at Etihad in donkeys years

Brisbane are at $2.12 to beat Melbourne

I am a gambling man

I just put $100 on Brisbane to beat Melbourne at $2.12 to pay out $212

If we lose, I win $112

If we win, I will be overjoyed at breaking our Etihad hoo-doo that I will not care about the $100

Am I a bad supporter?

(Have you ever done something similar?)

Yes you are a bad supported but if you think they are overs then you are a good gambler

Are you a paid up Melbourne member? If not you are not a supporter you are a follower.

As far as your gambling goes, you win either way.

I once tipped against us in the tipping competition and felt ill the whole weekend. (FYI - we didnt win and I got the point in the tipping comp - it was a dirty soiled corrupt little point)

I did something similar in round 1.

$50 on st Kilda at $2.30. Way above the odds.

Also I was going to put money on Brisbane at $2.60 before they beat Gold Coast, but couldn't be bothered.

You are essentially paying $100 for the joy of a win, I don't see anything bad about that.

My two cents - The problem with hedging bets is it dilutes the joy of a win because you become conflicted. Sport in its purest form is honest and pure and there is something underhanded about betting against your team. Ive done it and felt dirty afterwards.

Enjoy your half win on Sunday!

Been there. You can't wash off that dirty feeling.

It always amazes me when people think they can outsmart the bookies.

Yes, Tom Waterhouse is a schmuck who we all feel smarter than... or wait, maybe he just presents himself as the schmuck front-man for an organisation that actually has a huge database of information you an I could never hope to reach, and a range of experts carefully examining every factor pooped out by banks of computers with advanced analytics programs.

But I'm sure it's appropriate to feel confident that you understand the odds better than brat-boy Tom, and that nice Jaime girl from the Tab, the one with all the teeth, who is just letting you know the odds in between pulling beers.

There is an old Scottish custom (one of many :blink:) to always bet on England. That way, if the pr1cks win, at least you get some cash ... :blink:

This is blasphemy, a sin of the highest order.

Here's an idea. If Brisbane get up...................... which i bloody well hope they don't (would ruin my weekend), the money you profit can be donated to the footy club as your way of repenting.

If Brisbane lose, well sure you lose your money, but it will be your justified punishment, plus i'll be happy celebrating a win!

I bet against us all the time but usually as part of a multi bet - considering our performances over the last decade you'd be an idiot if you put money on us.T

The only time this has hurt me is Queens Bday 2012, I needed Collingwood to win by over 45 points or something and I would pocket over $600 for a $5 bet. Sammy Blease kicks a great goal from the boundary with under a minute to go to bring the margin to 41 points and I lose out. Was cursing that goal for weeks.

$5 sound reasonable, most could forget about five bucks... $100 though, thats a tank of petrol and a good lunch... I guess i just don't get gambling...

so many things you could do with 100 bucks.

you could have 5 really nice lunches, or 10 average lunches, or 3 very nice dinners, 30 odd coffees.

5-10 bucks are my bets, on the occasion that i bet.

Indeed dc! Perhaps Stuie could be Demonland's moral compass in the absence of the good lord?

Or .... You could also spend your 100 bucks on a range of delights at The Gat. I'm not sure they are edible though!

I can remember very clearly the last time I bet on the footy.

I had placed a $25 pick four which went out the window on the saturday. Wanting my $25 back I placed $200 on adelaide to beat melbourne over at footy park. Adelaide were 1 to 8 for a win and screaming hot favourites.

Well we won by about 50 points with Farmer having a day out. I cannot remember the year ( 1990s) but it was the last time I ever bet on the footy.

Don't bet against melbourne.

Or over in Perth an average breakfast for 2.

And yes, very bad supporter.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
