Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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.

For the overseas racing ...

On your TAB account you can tune into Sky Racing 1,  Sky Racing 2 or Sky Thoroughbred Central.  Just login for access

Works fine for me on a laptop or on the phone. Racing channel (68 or 78) often covers a bit of the European racing as well.

Sky Thoroughbred Central will possibly be taking the ITV UK feed for the Curragh next Saturday. 

Thanks Macca.....i dont have a TAB account, only Laddies who dont offer. I think you can somehow get the app or something....but i prefer Ch 68/78 if its on at all i guess, on my big screen tele, otherwise...

If I get a chance I'll post up a few links for the Irish Derby next Saturday (Curragh) ... at first glance it looks a good betting race with no clearcut favourite. 

One for the exotics.

The Irish Derby is on Saturday night

Here are the listings, form & odds from RacingPost.com ... Irish Derby (Curragh)

The early favourite 'Russian Emporer' has been withdrawn but will probably run in the Epsom Derby on the 4th of July (1 week from this Saturday)

And if you're looking for a double at the meeting the race straight after the Derby is the G3 Vintage Crop Stakes where 'Latrobe' is listed as the topweight (if it runs)

Managed to back the winner of the Irish Derby so not giving out my tip worked! 

That's a bit of a conundrum looking ahead ... anyway,  here's the replay

This weekend we head to Epsom for the Derby & the Oaks

Epsom Derby - Full Field, Form & Odds

Epsom Oaks - Full Field, Form & Odds

Last start winner 'Frankly Darling' with Frankie Dettori on board starts 2nd favourite in the Oaks whilst the impressive 'Russian Camelot' trained by Aidan O'Brien is on the 3rd line of betting in the Derby.  But there are certainly some value runners in both events.

Was listening to RSN this morning and they were talking about a greyhound race that’s gone viral, in particular a dog by the name of ‘Good Juan’. So I looked it up and found this extraordinary. ‘ Winx-Like Numbers’

Ace tipster Tom Biddington has marked it on top after 2 strong trials from the horse.  Certainly has a chequered history but if it turns up it's a show.

Got a tip, they are confident of a very good show, thought I’d pass it along, take it as you will ?

Caulfield Race 7, 6 I am Someone

Not today Gorgo, but thanks....always feel free to pass on any tips and post them, thats what the thread all about, somewhere for us to have a shout out.

How about the Dees Flag into Russian Camelot for the Melbourne Cup. 260/1 at the moment....worth a little flutter aye Macca. If we beat Brisbane, the odds will change, thats for sure.

This may be the only year we dont get the internationals, so the race (may) run a little closer to form.

That tip was for a few weeks ago,  not yesterday’s  races. 

But I’ll pass any along I get, sometimes get some good stuff, others very outside.

It only seems a short time ago when I was talking up the chances of 'Sunlight' in the Magic Millions 2yo classic (it won) ... but today the mare was sold for $4.2Million at the Magic Millions sales for broodmares.

That went quick!

So how many foals can a mare produce?  6 or 7?  8? ... that's at least $500k per foal without the stud fees.  Big money.

The connections have done extra well after paying $300k for the horse (with winnings of over $6.5Million)

Sunlight will always remain a favourite of mine.

Probably not too early to resume transmission here. A watch for tomorrow . Valley R3 No1. ABN. The fellas at work are pleased with her work leading into her return. Decent each way odds. A lot of speed on her inside is a bit of a worry but hopefully she shows the class we saw early in her first prep.

I couldn't really find a best bet DZ but I've got Brimarvi Vehero in a multi or 2 ... Morphettville Race 3 No.4 $2.60

James Jordan has it as one of his best bets as well. 

Good luck to anyone having a punt tomorrow.  The racing has been a godsend during this time.  A terrific distraction.

Showmanship showed a bit ... dominant in the end for sure.  Pikey in the last in Melbourne insread of Ascot!

Viridine just too good whilst Savatiano stood out for those who weren't looking (yours truly included)

An even day with a few winners ... North Pacific looks one to follow out of the races up in Sydney.

Horrific crash in the MotoGP ... no one seriously hurt thank goodness but Valentino Rossi can count his lucky stars.

The vision can be viewed online with a quick search.

Jack Miller the Aussie leads the race with 18 laps to go and hopefully he can hold on and win.

The 1st Group 1 of the new season is coming up at Randwick on Saturday but there are 6 Stakes races in all across Melbourne & Sydney ... all of them good betting races.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
