    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 reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    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.

Verry Elleegant salutes in the Oaks in the Demons colors. 99 Grp 1 wins for Waller.

Too good,  too classy was Verry Elleegant.  Another great prospect for the future Wadda

Winx retires and then the onus goes to 7 or 8 very good horses that are a notch below ... the way things normally are/were before Black Caviar & Winx. 

As a punter,  I prefer the latter situation but as a horse racing enthusiast,  I prefer the former arrangement.  And the horse racing enthusiast in me wins out. 

We are going to miss Winx once it is retired ... I would have preferred another Spring campaign and a 5th Cox Plate but it's not a perfect world.

I've put Harlem into a F4 but I'm only having a bet in the race because it's the last time we will see Winx race ... unless of course the connections change their minds!

That was nerve-wracking!

What an absolute wonder horse - the mighty Winx!

Joins the ranks of Bernborough,  Carbine,  Phar Lap,  Tulloch,  Makybe Diva & Black Caviar - all champions in their respective era's.  Sunline as well maybe.  Vain was great too.

I'm in no position to separate them so I won't ... much prefer to celebrate them all. 

Winx - Champion!

That was amazing. Hope you got the ff.

On a side note 4 favorites in a row now at Morphettville

Think Winx tried to kiss Bowman back then!

Werent those colors on the jockey on Shraaoh belonging to the Darren Weir stable?

I'm guessing the connections might have kept the colours for luck Wadda

A lot of the Weir horses have won since his suspension ... hard to know how many as the form guide for any of his former horses doesn't mention the former trainer.  But it's quite a number.

Ok thats interesting. So if i see a horse racing in those colors then i can assume its a horse from the trainer formally known as....

Tbh, i thought they might have suspended the colors as well....

Interesting development

David Gately has joined the Sky team so we won't see him on the racing channel from here on in.

Still posts his tips up on Best Bets and today,  the racing channel no longer refers to Gators tips - instead they are calling them the Best bets tips.

Thanks for the JJ tips Macca. It was a bit of a hard day today, but was great to see WinX. We were privileged to see such a great horse in our time.

I imagine DZ is getting the paint out of his ears by now. See you all over on Monkey later.

There was a bet placed on Winx 550,000 to win 33,000........ok who was it? DZ.....?

Haha Wadda, lol, if I had half a mil spare I’d build us our own social club to enjoy MFC wins. I did manage to sneak my phone down to the trenches to watch the race.  Winx fantastic once again. What more can you say?

Hope you fellas had some luck today.

We went 0 for 4 today with our tips DZ which we've never done ... it was just one of those days but my punting strategy always includes a few bets at Sha Tin on a Sunday and a Saturday overnight double or 2 out of the feature events from the UK & Ireland.  Small outlays can deliver good outcomes if luck is on your side.

Apart from a number of obvious standout winners,  we saw a number of very good each-way chances or roughies finish 1st or 2nd ... more so at Randwick & Caulfield.  So if you got a collect or 2 from the exotics,  the dividends were quite good.

@Dee Zephyr  @Wadda We Sing  @binman

I'll post here occasionally during the off-season (May thru to September) but am going to be very busy at work for the next 2 or 3 months anyway ... may not do a best bet as I'm not sure I'll have the time to identify a standout.

But all the best if you're having a dabble!

Now having said what i said previously 1 more surely couldnt hurt. There are some very good races this Saturday. Some of the stars going around inc. Divanation out of Makbe Diva and All too Hard first start at 2000, Osbourne Bulls and Thrillster returns to Caulfield after a spell.

Best Bet:

Randwick Race 7 No 2 Osbourne Bulls $2.60

If I get a chance I'll throw in a best bet but might be lunchtime Saturday Wadda ... got a lot on right now

OB should win ... looks a good thing and the extra 200m suits well.

Caulfield Race 8 No.2 Night's Watch $6.00

Quite like Nights Watch Macca. I was lucky enough to see the original Rembrandt in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam last year. It is a seriously huge massive painting and of course stunning.

Good luck with our picks!

    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
