    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.

Have you blokes had a look at Winterbottom at Ascot today? (Race 9)

I don't mind 'Elite Street' (#13) at the value (20-1)

Trekking the obvious standout but a bit short for my liking

I’ve not looked at any races today tbh, will check it out now.

Ha ha!

I live for Saturday racing ... can't get enough of it.  Used to be the footy but we don't play all that much on a Saturday arvo these days

And I no longer play cricket so it's all about the horses on a Saturday now

I’m working 6 days a week at the min, so I’ve spent all morning and up until now doing chores etc just haven’t had the time. And tbh I lessen off once main spring carnival is done unless I go to the races. But I’m on NFL games this time of year.

Had a look early and got a fourth and a third so bonus bet then just got Bandersnatch and Two big Fari so I’m up nicely

Good work Gorg

Money back today but I'm playing with some bonus bets overnight (Del Mar) & tomorrow (Sha Tin)

Go 'Elite Street'!

Great get @Macca!!!

Fantastic!

Bonus bucks in the off season!

Hope you got a nice collect (as I did)

It drifted right out in the betting but I'm not complaining.  Thought 20-1 was overs

Did the same and 'Elite Street' has definitely got a future too.  Scooted around them with a real turn of foot

Another W.A. horse that could end up over in the Eastern States.  Lightly raced but has real speed against the clock.  It wasn't a great field but it still beat a very good horse in Trekking home

Dare I say it ... an ADATR Blackbooker

Winners are grinners!! haha

Got told #10 Da Deputy in the Jericho at Warrnambool is a good chance. 
paying $16

I'll go with that Gorg ... excellent each-way value.  A little disappointed with the support card for such a terrific event (The Jericho) but hopefully over time that will be addressed

Anyway,  a full field of 14 (with the 4 emergencies scratched) augers well for the concept

Well a roughy won it, just not the right roughy ?

Yeah,  Count Zero won at big odds ... its form back in the Autumn was very sound but it has been running over 2000m (or shorter) in the lead up to this race

They obviously knew what they were doing and on a 7 day back-up as well

Da Deputy was beaten a long way from home but that's racing

Japan Cup on in 30 minutes and it looks a race between Almond Eye & Contrail but I'm on Glory Vase (each-way)

Glory Vase loomed large with a furlong to go but got run over (after kicking again)

Well deserved win to Almond Eye though (what a mighty mare)  Will be retired now after a stellar career

Contrail ran on well to help secure the 'obvious' quinella for punters (which I didn't have of course!)

Some good racing coming up on the weekend with the Kingston Town Classic being the standout race.  Small field in the Pakenham Cup but it's a very good betting race.  Click on any of the listed races below for the fields, form & odds

If you are looking for a horse to flesh out a multi

Doomben, Race 9, #7 Isotope $2.05

Thanks for that Gorg

 I quite like 'Watch Me Dance' (No.16) in the Kingston Town Classic (Ascot Race 8)

3 of the big bookies have picked it outright noting that it's carrying only 50kgs and has drawn well

At 11-1 it represents good value

Inspirational Girl is the one to beat but it has drawn gate 18 ... I've got it going in a couple of multi's as the saver bet (including your pick 'Isotope')

When in doubt defer to the experts (so they say)

James Jordan (JJ) has snagged 6 winners from 8 races at Morphettville today

 

Edit:  Make that 7 from 9

Didn’t see any at Morphettville today but that’s impressive.

Ended the day $10 down as Beat the Bro got pipped in a photo in the last at Ascot.   So I was either going to end $10 down or $100 up. 
considering I was across races from Packo, Rosehill and Ascot I can’t complain. Will roll my bonus bets into the NFL and hope for a winner.

My betting strategy nearly always includes the races from S.A and in particular, James Jordan's tips.  And when he and Gator both tip well I do well

The challenge is matching up 2 of the tips in a small multi as the tips can often be the short priced favourites.  Worked out well today as Gator had a reasonable day as well (although I went looking for value (against a few) to my detriment!)

Would have cleaned right up if Inspirational Girl had have got up.  Truly Great a deserved winner though.  Too good

Good luck with the NFL ... I'll be doing a 4 or 5 pick H/F multi.  All home teams as I don't trust my judgement on road teams! ?

Sha Tin tomorrow though playing with house money

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
