    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.

Best Bet (Saturday)

Caulfield R7 No.1 Probabeel 5.00/1.80

I’ll post something up before Saturday. 

 

Yeah I prefer to go early with my best bet Gorg.  Wednesday evening is form night!

Probably going to continue with the value/each-way type (brings the place multi into play) but with an emphasis on class

And Probabeel is just that ... classy

But if I really like a short-priced favourite,  I'll go down that path.  For instance, if the Caulfield Track has a bit of give in it on Saturday then Sir Dragonet in the Orr Stakes would attract a lot of big wagers and could start at a very short price

And just on the racing up in Hong Kong - the locals are very big on quinellas.  It's their favoured way of punting.  When in Rome?

I'm assuming they are percentage punters because there are often 4 or 5 genuine chances to win in most of the races (and that includes any of the horses that Purton or Moreira are on!)

I've generally done ok with exactas up there but I'm switching to quinellas (at HK)

The first Group 1 of the season tomorrow with the CF Orr Stakes to be run.  Will Sir Dragonet run?  Trainers Maher & Eustice are going to walk the track tomorrow morning looking for a bit of give in the track but the surface might be a Good3 by R8 anyway.  At a guess I don't believe it will run but I hope it does

The Blue Diamond Preludes will also be run whilst up at Randwick there are a couple of Black-type races as well as 2 high-stakes Inglis 2yo & 3yo events ($2Million & $1Million)

And they race at Sha Tin tomorrow as well (Saturday's once a month up there) - the meeting continues until 8.45pm so the 'Get-Out Stakes' x 5 is in operation!

If Sir Dragonet is scratched then Crosshaven could come into about 2.80 or 3.00

But I'd be on Imaging at about 4.50 (?) if I went for a win bet. 

Might Box 4 in a trifecta including a couple of value runners (Blazejowski & Sovereign Award?)

Blaze was great last week, can it back it up? Streets of Avalon can be very good or average, usually not a lot in between.

Sovereign is a solid horse. Humidor is the strange one amongst the group.

Boom! Probabeel! 
had her at $5.50 cos I put it on when you posted @macca so cheers!

Overs!!

Good on ya Gorg and I took on board what you said about Streets of Avalon (what a warrior horse Streets is!)

Got the quinella twice so a handy collect ... I work on the principle that if you get enough reasonable collects you'll end up in front

Come on 'Sword of Mercy'!

Value bet

Race 9, #10 Sword of mercy $7.50

Couldn't get clear running room ... really unlucky.  Held up for more than a furlong in the straight but that's racing

Jamie Kah wins again on Prophet's Thumb ... another treble for the elite hoop

Yeah I was on streets, got out to $9.50 too.

Sword didn’t get a run but as you said that’s racing. Shame as I had a multi on both our horses

Same here  ... had a place multi going but I've had a good day today (unlike last week!)

Gone down the quinella path at Sha Tin this evening ... got a couple of roughies going (in each race) for the value

I’m on Zing in the last and that’s me done. Either way I’m up some which means even after the super bowl I’ll end up a little if I don’t win there so that makes me happy 

I was on Ulysses but Zing looked home for you there ... at least with Sportsbet you get the bonus bet back

Yeah that helps, at the 100 I thought a good chance at the 50 knew it would get pipped.

Sha Tin has thrown up some roughies I just saw. Hope you snagged one of them.

Got a good collect in R8 ... 4 bets with 3 returns.  The last 2 money back

Might stick to the quinellas up there.  Boxing 4 or even 5 is like an each way bet

Purton or Moreira were involved in quinellas in 5 of the last 6 races.  That might be the clue I've been looking for

The first 4 races are often C5 or C4 races and are therefore the equivalent of BM58 or BM64 affairs.  I stay away until R7 normally

Hobart Cup today is a good betting race ... 5 or 6 genuine chances means the exotics could pay quite well

Just looking now, you are right, a lot I like. Gotta narrow it down. Not easy.

Managed to get the ok-paying trifecta with the top 2 in the betting both finishing in the placings

Classic Weiwei running 2nd added a bit of value

    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,
