  • 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.

Rules, Rules and more Rules.

I’ll tip a roughie later.

Now that's a good idea ... there's always a lot of value about on an each-way basis. 

And the value at the Valley can be the on pace runners who get a cushy run.  I'm also weary of backmarkers who draw an inside alley.

Im happy to go with @Biffen roughie selection every week if he wants to do it that way. It can be in any race, i just wont put it in the multi. Simple.

As for JV7s selection,. i thought we didnt want 2 selections in 1 race?.......again i dont really care, but make up your minds.

It'll figure itself out over time Wadda ... we can just use any of the tips as we see fit. 

2 leg doubles is my preference so if we have 5 or more tips then one doesn't have to necessarily use them all.  Even out-out win bets such as 'I am Superman' last week can give a good return.

As an example I have got How Womantic & Surprise Baby in a one-out double from our selections.  Gator likes both of them as well and he's often on the money.

Still worth a coffee on all of them in a big multi but again,  my preference is to pick the eyes out of the selections.  We could use a roughie pick for the place in a multi as well.  That's how I might use that type of tip.

I can see your point about multiple selections in the one race but again,  it'll figure itself out once everyone knows how it all works.

I don't believe we'll have a repeat of the previous double-ups.

Is 'Nature Strip' over the line in the Concorde Stakes? (Race 4 Randwick)  The odds would suggest so but the horse is not always at its best first up.

I've taken out a F4 in the race and I give Dirty Work & Gytrash a show in the race.

And the Chelmsford Stakes (Race 7) is an open race ... Paul Joice has picked 'Angel of Truth' to win (5-1) so that might do me.  At its best Avilius would win this but can it find its best form?  Life Less Ordinary at 20-1 provides some real value in the race.  Spec pick?

My fault I actually didn't read the rules until after I had posted... I'll be going each way on this one personally but for this multi I'll go the place. 

Moonee Valley Race 2 #12 Ghodeleine - Place $5

Ok -Thanks for the opportunity to be the roughy tipster.

In search for value I went to Kilmore .Race 8 Number 2-Drain The Swamp. Showing 26-1 fixed TAB. 

In the same race I like a boxed Trifecta 1,2,3,13.

A quick scan of the Metro meetings didn't really show much value.

I'll try to pick something over 15-1 each week.

I look froward to the team multi .

Go you good things!!!

Not sure if anyone is into betting outside the metro meetings but got a strong tip for Hawkesbury Race 7 #5 Gunnamatta @ $3.50 atm

Yeah no problem with that at all, cast your net into the sea! You can go to HK or anywhere else also if you spot something. Macca often posts some international meetings and we were all over Ascot earlier this year.

We also have been following Night of Thunder horses, since its now the leading sire in Europe and its progeny do very well and often win at good odds. They are starting to get to Australia and hence my selection in River Night. Cherry Tortoni is one good example. We post them up here from time to time.

    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

    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.

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
