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.

Yes!

I had a very busy weekend (but not a fruitful one on the punt!) but will post up some replays soon enough

Haven't seen any of the Sydney or Melbourne races yet but there were some obvious highlights amongst the 5 x Group 1's that were held

Yeah I didn’t have a great one, wiped my face but lost a small amount on the AFL. Would have done quite well if Steele kicked the ball a second before the siren, not one second after ??

Terrific days racing coming up ... they've got a good track up in Sydney with lots of Group racing whilst the fields at Caulfield are quite strong

Don't mind 'Personal' in the Vinery and 'Angel of Truth' in the Tancred

Good luck punters

Hang Man wins again and beats a good field ... didn't have it included but it ran past a decent horse in Persan

The connections would now have to be eyeing off a few of the bigger races in the spring.  There might even be a race up in Sydney over the next few weeks that suits

And Hungry Heart won the Vinery in fine style.  Good horse to follow going forward

Sir Dragonet wins the Tancred!  Very impressive ... looked a class above over the 2400

I was torn between hangman and le don and went le don. Also did that on an earlier race that got up with diamond second. 
 

Rodeo saluted on the last for me, cracking race to watch

I know it was only a BM64 or there about but with that turn of speed it will rise the ranks and do well, how high it goes, that’s the question. One to def watch for me.

Mask of Zorro ran another good race yesterday too.

Started the day of on fire, then went cold real quick. Both our choices didn’t salute but that’s racing. Hope you had a good day. 

Similar story Gorg

Got Missile Mantra & Duais up early then went cold.  Got a couple of collects out of Ascot late but overall down a fraction

Will watch the replays soon enough but Anamoe must have been impressive in the Sires Produce

Nature Strip did his thing,  Explosive Jack might be a cups horse & Jamie Kah got the best out of Cascadian in the Doncaster by the sounds of it

Anamoe killed it. Cascadian looked very good too. 
 

I was on the same two as you, also got Kiku and paulele early on. 
 

I flirted between Nature strip and Biovac and went the latter... seems every time I’m on NS it loses and when I go against it it bloody wins. ?

Had a photo with Grand promenade which ran quite well. Just couldn’t get there.

I'm floating between exactas & win bets at the moment ... I do like the idea of having 2 or 3 runners as options for winning but just got to pick the right races

Anyway,  the Pies, Eagles & Tigers all losing softens the blow ... with punting it's always about the overall!!

Because of the above,  if we win today,  we create a buffer that we can maintain (at least in the first half of the season)  Must win!

1-39 Demons is my pick,  Freo the same?

$1.80 fav this sat.

It’s listed for the Stradbroke handicap in Jun at $51 against a much better field. But I’m sorely tempted to take the gamble it runs and put $10 on it.

Best Bet Saturday

Randwick R5 No.3 Hungry Heart 5.50/1.80

That’s a good race. 
 

Sydney is already a soft 5 with rain expected Friday and Saturday. 
hope it doesn’t end up a heavy track. Hate betting on Heavy tracks.

Hungry Heart is a true stayer with a terrific finishing burst ... over the odds in my view

The others either may not get the distance or are unproven in Australia

Scroll up to the replay of the Vinery Stud Stakes and let me know what you think Gorg

I will be most surprised if it doesn't get into the finish although the horse does like good conditions and there is a bit of rain forecast

I've taken the early odds with some bonus bets

Agree, I watched that race live. Even copped the hit that pushed it wider at the 400.

I too took the odds lst night at 5.50

    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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
