    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 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.

And Nature Strip wins in commanding fashion ... another dead-set candidate for the Everest after that run. 

Sunlight might have needed the run but the horse was outclassed if we're being honest.

Agree Macca. I thought Sunlight could beat him today but that was a clinic.

To Gator's credit he did tip Nature Strip & Vega Magic today and that double was paying around about $3.50 early doors (with an odds boost)  I bet away from him looking for value but that didn't work! ?

That's a couple of smart bankers in a multi Wadda ... good luck with the other 2 picks although I see the Rabbitohs have got a bit of work ahead. 

My only other bet this weekend is in the Group 1 2400m Stakes race at Epsom just after midnight.  Cracksman is up against Poet's Word & Crystal Ocean whilst Rostropovich might get into the finish.

Video of a couple of Group 1's from the weekend (overseas) and it's worth having another look at Vega Magic blitzing them in the Bletchingly Stakes likewise Nature Strip in the Lightning Stakes

It's also worth noting that the confirmed Cox Plate starter 'Benbatl' won a Group 1 2000m race out of Germany on the weekend as well ... the time was a tad slow but the tracks are quite often on the dead side of good in Europe so it's more about the ratings.

g'day punters,

I can feel it in the air, the unmistakable spring vibe. One of my favourite times of year. Love the couple of months before the spring carnival starts in earnest. My mate and i usually start back up on our spring campaign in mid to late August so soon now. Can't wait.

In the man time will have to content myself with the dees still being in finals contention.

I might post my bets footy bet of the round on a Friday for the last few games and finals. I like my bet now of the swans to miss the finals at $3. Had an up and won footy betting season but have made a profit so can't complain. Was well up this round coming into Sunday's game and then managed to get them ALL wrong to break even.

That would be great Binman. Although we made the thread mainly about horseys, i always like to post any other bet that i like across a wide range of sports. So feel free. I will certainly be having a look at your best.

Ha!  It's already all systems go for me Wadda ... the Missile Stakes to be run at Randwick on Saturday is my kind of trifecta race - a 10 horse field only but the quality is there with Kementari on top.  I fancy Showtime to run a good race first up whilst 'She Will Reign's' first up form is enormous - 4 from 4.

Since we are talking Swans binman, I had a look at the early market for our game against them. I realise the one week at time cliche but realistically speaking most of us are looking down the track ( not necessarily punt wise).

We are $1.45, Swans $2.75

If we get up this week and Swans lose our odds will reduce further in my opinion. When was the last time we were that short against the Swans?

A long time DZ. They do not have the pace to hurt us on the outside and we have them covered on contested ball, which is really the cornerstone of their 'brand 'and has been for many years.

That said 1.45 is short. But as we both know the odds are perhaps the most reliable indicator of the relative chances in any given game.

Last Friday, just before the bombers game.

I actually suggested the bet on a DL thread and advised if keen people should get on before the ess game as if they were to lose would come into about 1.80. I was pretty close!

Best bet....

Royal Randwick Race 7 No 2 Kementari $2.05

Cummings has got this horse forward. Win this and its in The Everest. First up goes well, a little short but it should be right. Get on before it comes in any more.

Best Bet:

Mooney Valley Race 8 Number 3

Trap For Fools. $2.30

Former WA galloper having fourth run in and should be hitting his straps fitness wise. Has improved each run this campaign and has some excuses in those runs.

By the look of it there’s not much pace here, the horse should be able to lead with Rawiller dictating the tactics and hopefully we see the famous dash away from rivals on the home turn.

    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

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
