    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 ...

    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.

Hi fellas. 

How do you want to go about this? I can list them now or do you prefer Raceday? I’ve also got 3 “ Emergencies” ready to go in case of scratchings. 

@Wadda We Sing raise the bat mate! 3000 likes!!

Its up to you DZ. Whenever you want to doesnt bother me. You can make late adjustments for scratchings if they occur.

I note your team the panthers are still 1.85 against the 2.00 away side on the bottom of the NRL ladder Cowboys at your home ground tomorrow night. Are you able to make anything out of that?

Yep 4 sure. just thinking out loud really. Even just making notes for myself, so i remember.

Are your mates doing the weekly multi this week Macca?

Hey im on 3000 likes.....shucks. :)

 

Yeah ... but we won't start talking about it until tomorrow night.  I haven't even had a look yet but will probably go at the Super Rugby again.  

I'm envisaging some more NBA,  AFL & NRL from the other 3 but who knows?

Whenever DZ ... the last 2 picks are your domain. 

The 'Get On' crew like Savacool & Think Bleue especially but 'Gator' has 'Temple of Bel on top of Sopressa if that's any help.

Injuries Wadda. They lost their young gun fullback for the season last weekend. Already missing Cleary, Mansour and Blake. They are arguably their best 4 players.

JJ's has tipped Sopressa and then Savacool in the Oaks. 

And he is leaning towards Catchy in the Robert Sangster (reading between the lines) Mentioned that barrier 8 is a good one for the horse with the 400m dash to the turn.  

Anyway,  here's our trifecta ...

  • W/2/3  -  Savacool
  • W/2/3  -  Think Bleue
  • W/2/3  -  Sopressa
  • 2/3       -  Pleasuring
  • 2/3       -  Temple Of Bel

I've got 2 best-bets in Wadda ... the other 2 might take a day or so though.  One mate has gone early and my Super Rugby tip kinda jumped out at me at first glance.  I'll post up the other 2 tips when I get 'em in.

  • Cronulla (1-12) over the Parramatta Eels  $2.75
  • Waratahs (1-12) over the Auckland Blues  $3.10

My best bet for the weekend - I need to get back on the winners list so I'm going to go with JJ's best bet - decent odds too!

Morphettville  Race 2  No.8  Silent Warrior  $4.00

Turns out they did get a bit of rain in Adelaide yesterday.

A Soft6 at the moment but quite windy ... could get back to a Good4 but a Soft5 is a possibility (according to the 'Experts')

Well,  Silent Warrior should win then ... because JJ is due?  Glass half full here Wadda.  

I watched the 2 preview shows on fast-forward last night and then listened out for the best bet on RSN this morning and the consensus tip is 'Land of Plenty' in the 7th at Flemington tomorrow (No.8)

I like land of Plenty but its pretty short. The track says good 4 atm to answer my own question, i didnt notice they put it on the guide there on Racenet.

He certainly is due.

Wells Fargo Championship - Geoff Ogilvy Top 10 finish ... paying $8.00

He is currently tied for 7th at -3 ... three shots off the lead. 

One for the 'wider' exotics.

Sportsbet is my standby betting agency when Ladbrokes fall short with the options.  They've got the golf top 10 up and available. 

We look to get around 15-1 up to 25-1 for the first 3 tips in one bet and then add on the golf tip in another bet to win big.  Small outlay of course so the risk is negligible.

The 'Land Of Plenty' tip from the pundits is more to alert those reading this thread that it could be used as an add-on for multi punters. 

I'll throw it into a few 3 race multi's.  I reckon 3 is about enough with the horses but they're are still very hard to get.  Again,  low risk with a small outlay.

Got word back that it will probably be NBA Sunday (our time) ... could be anything though Wadda.  When it comes through I'll post it up. 

I'm also looking forward to the 4 big races from overseas ... late tomorrow I'll post up the links again but I've picked out my choices after finding a bit more info. 

Knowing a fair bit about the runners makes watching the races all that more worthwhile - and of course having a wager on them more so again.

Best Bet: Morphetville R8 No1 Savapinski.

TAB odds $3.10

Good run first up and I thought the horse had a very good spring. Should be able to lead from barrier 7 and might be hard to catch.

Haven't done form for today (as i have said my Autumn has finished) so no best bets but my thoughts on today's group races based on recollection of the exposed form of the horses through Autumn.

You have to give Qualista a good chance today. Like Savacool, a horse that always runs well. Gets out in front and challenges other horses to catch it and i've said before on this thread i really like good horses that sit on the speed.

Similarly Sprightly Lass is terrific race horse that does not know how to run a bad race. Looks good value i reckon. Desert Lashes will surely test it though. A good horse.  

I backed Savapinski last start and it looks to deserve favoritism. But perhaps a little short? I backed Jester Halo and odds last start and it blundered the start, which is always poor but worse when it is a horse that likes to sit on the speed. Came home against the pattern for a fighting 4th and if it gets away allright today has to be chance. Has 3.5kg pull in the weights from Savapinski and due a win.

Coming Through is really good horse and deserves favoritism in the Hollindale i would have thought but i would not be shocked if Oregon Day runs a bold race. Has been there or thereabouts this Autumn in four group races without winning (three very close seconds and last start 2.9 length 4th to Alizee). At each way odds.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    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
