    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.

Good one. Yes please post.

3rd tip is in (forget the golf,  Ogilvy missed the cut!)

Here are the 3 ...

  • Cronulla (1-12) over the Parramatta Eels  $2.75
  • Waratahs (1-12) over the Auckland Blues  $3.10
  • Melb Storm (1-12) over the Dragons $3.00

It's the only sports bet I'm doing this week Wadda apart from maybe a Sunday only pick 3 or pick 4 involving the NBA & the NHL (and the Melb Storm)

I rarely get close with sports multi's thus the switch to the joint effort.

Ok got it. looks good Macca, ill be getting on.

So for my pick, after doing the form i came up with Silent Warrior....followed by Savapinski....I was going to go for Pleasuring plc at Morphettville, but there are many good horses in that race. So im going for Flemington Race 7 No 8 Land of Plenty $2.20. Its pretty short but should get up.

 

Morphettville  Race 2  No.8  Silent Warrior $2.40 (in from $4.00)

Morphetville R8 No1 Savapinski. $3.30

Flemington Race 7 No 8 Land of Plenty $2.20.

Gives us $17.42 for your dollar. Get on!!

WE ARE SO DUE!!

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. 

Still great input there anyways Binman, cheers.....see you in the spring! :)

Lucky I got on last night with those 3 with Silent Warrior shortening the way it has ?

Not that I thought you'd pick Land of Plenty ... I just liked the horses chances anyway.  Good choice Wadda. 

The Robert Sangster Stakes is a good betting race and now that Viddora is out,  any number of horses can get into the finish.

JJ's tips are up on Racing.com ... I might do a few 2-5-5 trifectas based on his tips (I'll add 1 extra horse to his first 4)

God how often do you see the stable mate get up in a race. Did Jamie go a little early? Probably not, but it did seem like it. Hindsight easy i guess....

I always take all our picks for a place as well anyway.....so still alive.

JJ changed his best bet of the day to Savapinski in the last ... he's done that before but was probably looking for a bit of value after the scratchings in race 2. 

Silent Warrior well beaten though - another 2nd but the 1.60 for the place was a reasonable return considering there were only 7 runners.

Looks like Shoals could be set for Royal Ascot now. 

A dominant win against some very likely types.  The 3rd placegetter would have put me out of the trifecta anyway.  Tri paid a lazy 9k+ so there are a few happy campers.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
