  • 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.

Hasta ran ok for 3rd in the Geelong Cup ... slick time for the race though.  Tralee might go alright in the Cup.  Hit the line well

At $160k for 12th it's well worth just getting a runner in the big race.  Anyway, the connections picked up a cool $240k for winning the Geelong Cup

Manikato stakes tomorrow, I can’t go past Lombardo. 
 

Who do you guys like?

I agree on Lombardo ... a horse on it's way up.  Quinella with Savatoxl?

On RSN this morning the track watcher mentioned Rambeau ($26) as one that impressed (Friday Moonee Valley) Race 1 No.4

Gator's 2/3 Parlay involves 3 races at Randwick (Saturday)

R6 No.9 Ma and Pa

R9 No.6 Entriviere

R10 No.9 Gravina

About 45-1 for the 3

Jonker was $10 yesterday ... looked the winner a long way from home but Bella nearly pinched the win

Savatoxl & Lombardo just couldn't keep up ... old boy Streets ran on well

I have Bella in my F4, I tossed up between Joneker and Sneaky 5, not that it mattered as Lombardo and Sav got nowhere near it.

In those sprints at the Valley if a horse can win the start, hold it's ground and then kick, it often wins (gotta be a good horse to start with though)

Jonker has now won $2.1Million and it's run some very quick times over the journey.  I had it included in a trifecta but didn't have Bella

That's racing (at the Valley!)

Zaaki out of the Cox Plate ... elevated temperature

Wow, big news Macca…huge blow for connections.

Buffalo River’s scratching in the Crystal Mile leaves Elephant very short now. Would have loved to hear Matt Hill get creative calling Elephant, Buffalo and Rhinoceros over the line as the first 3.

10's of $Millions lost on Zaaki in the all-ins (doubles on the big races as well)

I find it a little questionable for it to happen on the day (and I'm not talking through my hip pocket)

Re the protest in the Cox Plate

Protest being dismissed was the right decision but the interference did stop Anamoe's run to a degree. I just don't believe the interference was all that severe

We see a lot of brushing and slight bumps and to me that's just part of racing

Upholding the protest would have suited me as I had Anamoe going in a few bets (including a decent win bet)

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    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
