    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.

Getting in early this week but I've had my eye on this horse and this race (Sydney Cup) for quite some time.

Godolphin,  Charlie Appleby and fresh off a 2 mile triumph at Meydan (Dubai)  Odds may drift too as it opened at $3

Best Bet

Randwick Race 8 No.10 Dubhe $3.70

I notice Ace High is not running and was originally being set for that race Macca. The Sydney mud has just killed him.

 

Best Bet:

Randwick Race 9 No 17 Fundamentalist (Plc) $4.60

I've done the early double from our 3 picks again Wadda (Saccharo & Dubhe)

I don't want to be posting up 'That's 2 from 2!' without having a small wager on that possible/probable outcome.  Got about 14-1 for the 2 (boosted)  The 3 together offers fantastic value (68-1 non boosted)  I like to have 1 or 2  double's anyway so I thought I'd use our choices. 

It promises to be a great days racing where it looks like we'll get a decent track at Randwick (finally) whilst there's some very competitive racing at Caulfield and also,  there are 5 Black-type/Stakes races at Morphettville.  As usual,  I'll be using Gator & JJ's tips as a decent guide. 

Racenet Form Guide - All Races Saturday

There are a lot of very good betting races and of course,  the mighty mare Winx makes her final appearance. 

JJ's tips (Racing.com - Morphettville) should be up by 10.00am tomorrow but here are Gator's tips (below)... lots of value again.  I use their tips to help with exactas with a couple/few win bets on their value picks.

Are Ladbrokes having any Winx specials today? Remember last time it was 2/1 up to $20. Who ever thought up that one must have been sacked....

Sign up with Neds Wadda, they have the ‘ Winx Triple The Winnings’ promo. The $1.30 up from $1.10 is very enticing. Would have been nice to have this promo when she won her first Cox at $6.

Good luck all, off to paintball for a 13th. I’m going to have some fun today, payback time ?.

Looks like Ladbrokes had a few specials but they finished at 11am. One of them was to Bowman to ride 3 or more winners. 4/1.

I think i will just throw Winx into my Multis as even though its 1.06 it can still boost a 3 or 4 leg multi by 5 or 6/1.

JJ's tips at Morphettville - some excellent value to be found if he is on the money today.

Yes some great value there just looking through Macca. How do you like to use the 4 tips? I usually just look at the top 2 i guess, throw them in some type of exotic or parlay a few.

Does he have a BB for the day?

His best bet got scratched out of the 6th race Wadda (Cool Passion)

I do multiple exactas/trifectas so I look at all 4 of his tips in any given race ... but I only bet on the good betting races so if there is a shortie in any given race,  I ignore the race.

 Hadn't checked the other best bets before posting, but was going to pick dubhe too Macca. 

Unusually for me I've done my selection At randwick based on a swoopers track. I just think randwick struggles to come up week to week,  particularly after rain, and the track will be hard to lead on. Two races in and seems to be the right play with horses getting home from tbe rear. Makes for a tough tough day with value winners

I normally put our best 3 altogether so that anybody can quickly see what horses were selected. All you have to do is scroll back a few from the last post. They are normally up by Friday night.

Randwick? You said Eagle Farm? Anyway, not to worry. Thanks for contributing to the thread Binman. I think a few of us will probably give it a bit of a rest over winter as well. See you in the Spring hopefully. Feel free to join us over on Monkey Business for any sporting tips you may have. Go Dees.

I think BM meant his 'other' bets at Randwick

And if it is a swoopers track,  Winx should win in a canter ... drawn the outside barrier too so ideal

Ok thanks Macca. The 2 favs saluting the first 2 @ Morphettville i see.

Winx looked pretty lively the other night on the news. Think all the cameras upset her. Quite a mean kick in that hind leg. Who gonna come 2nd is slightly intriguing? Im not sure i can remember Harlem and Hartnell going H2H before.

She did whack that metal gate/fence very hard ... probably of no concern but it's the first slight hiccup since the horse was locked away on the inside in the Turnbull last Spring.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
