  • 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.

BOOM!!!

Double Salute!!!

 

Well done Macca.

Well done you, Gorg!!

You little beauty!!

The ADATR crew lands a double (finally!)

At 25-1, that is a decent collect for a coffee or 4 as an outlay

Happy days!!

And Nonconformist now gets into the Caulfield Cup ... these entry races add so much more interest (as in the 'Shorts' raced earlier becomes a great trial for the Everest)

Came home nicely, can’t wait to see it in the cup.

Prizemoney is very good all the way down to 8th in the Caulfield Cup so the connections would be thrilled. 

These days, only the real class horses generally win the Caulfield Cup but the race has opened up for the locals with not nearly as many overseas entrants.  Certainly, Nonconformist is in with a show!

Eduardo beats nature strip! 
I ended up on him once it went to a soft 7. Thought Rothfore would find it a bit too hard on a S7 ( dumped a bonus bet on it tho) 

Masked Crusader jumped slow and never got going

Eduardo continues to impress and is a specialist at the 1100 (or 1000m)

Now an 8yo but it isn't slowing down!  Hunted down Nature Strip like only a good horse can

Sierra Sue wins!! The unlucky Feehan Stakes run was the pointer

Not sure what happened to Probabeel & Behemoth.  Beau had every chance

3 lightweights filled the placings

I had Sierra in my f4, but Behemoth and Beau got no where near it. I didn’t have probabeel.

Got pipped in the last, tossed up between Bella and La Mex, went La mex and then both in the quinella and La Mex got pipped.

Yeah don’t get me wrong I ended up way ahead. I knew Sierra Sue was going to be there abouts especially with the weight. But Beau Rossa is my horse so had to back it.

Got close with Just Folk. That would have made today amazing. But I’m very happy a d glad you had a nice collect too.

Lets see if we can back it up next sat.

Yep, time to get on a roll Gorg

I do like the 2/3 parlay bet ... it's a lot of fun when all 3 salute!  4 decent collects speaks for itself

Gator is on RSN tomorrow around 11.00 - 11.30 and there are sure to be people messaging in about his 2/3 parlay saluting

The 3 winners were Annavisto,  Nonconformist & Bella Nipotina.  All highly fancied to boot

3 big Group 1's (kicking off Friday night) with the highly competitive Moir Stakes

Anamoe & Zaaki look morals in the Golden Rose & Underwood Stakes but upsets can happen ... and $2.50 for the double doesn't appeal (unless used as a banker in a multi)

Yeah the two favs don’t interest me unless I have two others and add one to try and bump the odds up slightly. Zaaki wins. Can’t see it not.

I like Artorius at $9.

Ive backed Portland Sky a lot along the journey and will look it’s way again I think.

Good racing tonight ... the Valley races are always interesting to watch

Tend to follow on pace runners as that's often where there is a bit of bias

Yeah I can be very hit and miss there. I tend to also trust certain jockeys more at MV than others.

Jamie Kah is good with on pace runners where as Ollie & Craig are often successful with swoopers

But I go against swoopers at the Valley ... if they beat me, so be it.  On pacers often get into the finish and the track is not often a swoopers track with that short straight

Homesman will lead (or be on the pace) tonight for instance, and if the jockey can dictate terms, he'll be hard to beat.  I'm confident about its chances

You got another one to go with Homesman? Doesn't have to be at the Valley

Lombardo in the second is a leader that should get the job done. Paying $2.60

Lombardo should win

Ok, that's the other double that could easily salute (with Homesman R6)

First race is at 5.15 and just as well ... I desperately need a distraction to take my mind off the footy! haha

Rabbitohs/Manly later on and then a busy day at work tomorrow should fill the rest of the time.  And sleep (hopefully!)

Friday nights is beers and vinyl with the wife. Fire will be roaring and I’ll watch the races on the ipad and slip the head phones on to listen.

Tomorrow big bushwalk then chores then onto the races. Possibly lying on the ground rocking back and forth once races are done 😂

Moonee Valley track manager Martin Synan reckons the course might favour the on pace runners  ... but because of the wind as they hit the straight, the backmarkers can feature if they can get cover

Rail is out 4 metres

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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

    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
