    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.

Best Bets:

Rosehill: Race 6 No 2 Sayed  $3.40

Sunshine Coast: Race 7 Number 2 The Bostonian  $3.40

Caulfield: Race 7 No 3 Usain Bowler  $4.40

This weeks lucky numbers will net you a lazy $51.00 (approx) for your lazy $1.00 outlay, if they happen to win ! 

Good luck punters !

You'd reckon that sooner or later we'd get the 3 up Wadda ... and today is as good a time as any!

I got on last night @ 55-1 (boosted)  Just as well too as Sayed has come right in due to the scratchings in that race. 

I also llike 'I'm a Rippa' as my each-way chance in the Glasshouse Hcp (Sunshine Coast Race 9) ... currently showing $6.50 & $2.30

Got some tips fellas and I don’t usually receive them often. No comment in the text just races and numbers. I’ll post them anyway just to test out the source.

Rosehill R5 No.1 La Chica Bella

I notice the horse will carry 61kg on the Soft. Good start.

Rosehill R8 No.13 Mapmaker

Morphetville R3 No.5 Canford

Yep i went down to the tab before and got 27/1. :( Typical.

I did put them all on for a place as well into a few football teams.

Tell me....when you bet on the soccer (tab) shows result at full time. So how do you bet on a result at total time or whatever...ie the end of the game! Is it even possible? Im guessing its not.

Always like a good tip DZ. Yep 61kg in the mud is a great start! Is this the same sauce that said we would thrash Peru?

Don't know Wadda ... you are better off betting at Sportsbet or Ladbrokes where the odds shown are for after extra time or for the actual result regardless of extra time or penalties. 

The TAB do it for other sports as well and they shouldn't do so - a lot of punters get caught out.

Weve had some bad luck with the selections. We really have had some gun horses put in some very average runs, beaten by bolters, pipped on the line you name it. That said we are due soon. Come Spring we may get a few on the trot, so to speak.

Haha, we’ll find out soon enough Wadda. I’m taking the tips in a place multi, some good value. Around $7 for an all-place multi. 

There is a method of result betting option available on Tab for the soccer. Pick your team to win in extra time, penalties, full time, siesta time, whatever pleases you mate. There was a  “ To Qualify”  option on games but I can’t see it in the markets. That was always a good option to avoid the dreaded draw.

I did actually see that to qualify option on a machine at the tab DZ. Wasnt sure what it meant.

That’s probably the best option when it comes to knockout rounds. Just pick the team you think will go through to the next round. Slightly smaller odds of course but a simple way nonetheless.

Well Wadda, two tips in and we have tasted the sauce. Tastes like mustard. The horse with 61kg tired, no surprise though.

Staying races are not my go - even more so in the winter.  Sayed ran last - is that a first?  Another lesson learnt! 

Anyway,  my go today is in the Caloundra Cup,  Glasshouse Hcp,  Strickland Stakes & the Irish Derby ... and a very good class 2 race at Sha Tin tomorrow (race 7)  3 more staying races in amongst that lot so here's hoping ?

It seems that we're taking it in turns to find that 1 winner Wadda ... although,  to be honest,  it's not the best time of year in terms of trying to find a winner.  It will be a different story in the Spring when all the good horses are running around.

Ideal outcome DZ - enjoy!

 

Ended up breaking even on the day (why does that feel like a win? ?)

Had a few collects but nothing of any real significance ... my new strategy of boxing 5 in a trifecta feels like a more assured way of betting though.  Only issue is the low percentage of not so large dividends!

But I've loaded up a bit on the Irish Derby as my feature betting event for the day ... will be a late night what with the World cup on overnight as well

The Curragh - Irish Derby  2400m  Group 1  3yo  SW  $2.4Million (2.15am Sunday)

 

And there's a decent sprint race on at Sha Tin tomorrow if you're looking to have a bet

The Hong Kong Reunification - Race 7  1200m  C2  $320k

 

Oh,  and here's Material Man vs Pounamu again (raced today) ...

Belmont - Strickland Stakes  2000m  WFA  Group 3

Irish Derby from overnight ...

The odds on favourite (Saxon Warrior) was always a good chance to not win especially after finishing 4th in the Epsom Derby so the $850 trifecta was there for the taking.  

Apparently 'Latrobe' is owned by Lloyd Williams and I wonder whether he might bring the horse down to Australia for the cups?

El Magnificence to take on Nature Strip again in the listed A.R. Creswick Series Final ( R7) this Saturday at Flemington over 1200m. 

 

What odds Nature Strip with that field DZ? 

I had the race down as a trifecta race but will probably do a F4 instead with Nature Strip as the winner.

I will of course be including El Magificence in that F4.

    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

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    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

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    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
