    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.

Thinking about it all, the transgression seems out of character for Jamie Kah

Quietly spoken, level headed, grounded and a real sensible type

Then again, they probably just got on the drink and we all know where that can lead!

The With 12 horses I wouldn’t be surprised to see 6-7 cross witching a head of each other, but if all ran their best race I reckon behemoth wins.

Yep, the big boy is a star of the turf.  Behemoth too good and Prebble rode it like it was the best horse in the race. 

Prebble picks ip $30k with a sling ... Jamie looks on forlornly!! That's racing!

Beau was very brave with Tofane 3rd in a truly run race.  The first 3 - all class

Beau did me proud. Love Behemoth but I think I love Beau more. Linda rode well, had to come so wide. 
I have been having a mare but I had some on Behemoth and I put Aegon in my f4 when Sierra Sue went out. 41% of that make the day a nice one.

Excellent result Gorg

I got the exacta twice and a big percentage of the trifecta ... needed Inspirational Girl to get into the finish for a bigger pay day

Beau got the 1400m alright and hit the line like a good horse.  So 1200m up to 1400m.  The mile might be a tad too far but I wouldn't rule that distance out

Good to hear.

tbh I thought 1400 was stretching it, I’d like to see a few more at 1400 and see how Beau goes.

Mark Zahra out for the Spring as well now as he attended the same get-together (it's been discovered)

Latest story is that all 5 jockeys might get an extra month for not being honest about it all. 

The Stewards have a history of being heavy handed for these types of things so why would anyone take them on?  Strange goings-on

Best Bet Saturday Randwick

Race 4 no 4 $6 Super Effort win

 

With a boost about 30-1 can be had for the double

I like 'Elephant' in the Feehan St but it's a wide open race.  Streets can get into the finish as it is drawn the inside and likes to lead.  25-1? 

And at the Valley that can be a really advantage.  'Elephant' has drawn a great gate (1) as it too likes to lead

My value runner is Sovereign Award at 25-1 as well

Exotics could pay very well

I too like Elephant. And with some Rain coming I think it’s in very good position.

Portland Sky and September Run resume against each other. Both short odds. I miss the $8+ I was getting on Portland Sky. It was easy money 🤣

Mates horse Facemask runs here in Race two. Was originally going to Adelaide (second fav) but with the rain coming here trainer said run it at MV. He thinks it’s a very good chance. At $10 at the min. 
Only second run under the new trainer but it ran its best race last win.  Big field and I’ll be following it closely

Good start to the day ... 'Forgot You' flies home to win.  Soft7 at the Valley but strong headwind in the straight

Sierra Sue dreadfully unlucky in the Feehan St.  I didn't have it included in my multiples but I reckon if it gets through it goes close

Superstorm wins and now gets a run in the Cox Plate but McAvaney reckons it's more suited to the mile

Underwood Stakes (1800m) on GF day is next up for Superstorm according to the trainer.  'Elephant' ran well and looks a group horse of the future

Up in Sydney 'Nature Strip' & Zaaki did as they pleased to both win impressively.  The Everest & Cox Plate long term targets ... both installed as favourites

I had Sierra Sue with Elephant, Superstorm and Nonconformist as my f4.

Nature and Zaaki trotted past them like it was nothing. 
 

Don’t doubt Dory also ran a good race yesterday and Geist impressed me.

Apart from the open betting race that the  Makybe Diva Stakes is,  there are some real shorties running around @ HQ on Saturday

But they might all win ... Ingratiating, Artorius & Ayrton are all odds-on in their respective races!

    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
