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.

I'll be up having a couple of beers so lead me to some winners Macca! Betting on harness & dogs not getting me anywhere ?

 

Edit: unless I'm having breakfast beers maybe not!!!

7 is my lucky number so ...

Keeneland Race 7 No.7 Terebellum 11.00/3.30

Godolphin/Gosden/Dettori

2nd best ...

Keeneland Race 10 No.5 Swiss Skydiver 4.50/1.40

But the racing is high class with any number of high class performers.  Buyer beware JV!

Was spewing... Asked my brother & father what they liked in the last at Flemington, they were both on the #8. I looked at the $20 odds and laughed... They both had $50 the win at $21s ? Why I didn't follow I do not know

Also another topic of convo... 

Reckon the channel 10 coverage of the Melbourne Cup carnival has been terrible. Usually 7 has the rights to Sydney races which is a good filler, I found 10 padding between races with garbage. Also sky not having the right to show Flemington is a huge mistake also. I found myself watching 78 over the past week & without HD isn't great but still between coverage than 10.

It had run a slashing trial (Leiter) but horses run slashing trials all the time and can't produce on the day

I was on the favourite Plaquette and it loomed large but no kick in the last furlong.  It looked the winner for quite a while

Been an interesting Spring for me ... I usually get a couple of really good collects which covers my overall outlay but every week this Spring I've broken even or thereabouts every Saturday.  Bit boring really!

Still,  it's a great sport/hobby and the thrill of winning anytime is always exciting.  Today I got a decent collect out of Arcadia Queen which is extra pleasing because of the class of the horse and the race itself (The McKinnon)

See I work Saturdays so it's only ever audio for me ... I watch a lot of replays though!

Ch78 gets a workout.  Previously I've attended the big days on any number of occasions

To me it's all about the racing and the build up to the races.  The shmaltz doesn't interest me

I really like the way the racing is covered in the UK and Ireland ... all about the horses,  trainers,  jockeys & racing.  Pure racing - brilliant!

That didn't end well!

You did ask!

My strike rate overseas is about 1 in 3 ... 2 out 3 nights there's zero collects and the other I'll do well or very well

Now,  if I only knew which 2 nights to disregard I'd be home free JV!

Once the Spring carnival is done we usually have a spell from the Best Bets until the Autumn

But there's still plenty of great racing inbetween including the big Sandown meeting next Saturday and then the Ballarat Cup meeting the following Saturday

Then the Ascot Group 1 racing from W.A,  Summer carnival from QLD and the racing out of Melbourne & Sydney still attracts good fields because of the prizemoney (which includes the $1Million 'Hunter' at Newcastle next Saturday & the $1Million 'Gong' at Kembla Grange the following Saturday)

And the Magic Millions in early January gets my attention as well. 

I'll still be here posting up the odd preview and replay and if you've got any tips,  post 'em up!

Excellent card at Sandown tomorrow with some real value about

Avilius ($4) the class runner in the Zipping Classic and Gator likes Allibor ($12) in the Guineas at good odds. 

The $1Million Hunter up at Newcastle is a wide-open betting race.  Ranier is the $6 favourite but Trumbull ($7) & Fiesta ($8) have real claims

Agree on Avillus Macca, class above these but will be interesting to see if his peaked this prep & how his pulled up the Cup. I'm going with Future Score ?

Very good point about the end of the prep's versus the fresher horses.  Always that way at this Sandown meeting

Anyway,  got Anamoe up in the first with Ollie on board (double winnings too) so I'm close to playing with house money for the rest of the day JV!

Good luck to all today!

Agree, some good races tomorrow. I’m out all day so won’t see much, but will throw on before I leave.

Had a good day thanks to Gator ... tipped me into 5 winners all at each-way odds (or thereabouts)

When he is on he's close to spot on.

For those who are interested,  Gator's tips are freely available through best bets & racing.com

I had a decent day, would have been better on a full collect on  Alliblr that I had at 11.25 instead of The $5.40 I got die to deductions 

Same here but once the favourite was scratched Allibor's chances of winning increased a lot.  I originally managed to get 15-1 boosted but ended up getting 15-2 after deductions!

Still decent odds considering Allibor was a virtual moral to get into the finish even with Aysar running

I ended up $85 on the day, which considering I was out drinking from 1to 11 I thought I did ok. I was up more but threw on a few speculative trifectas that if I wasn’t up a fair chunk and half cut prob wouldn’t have tried. Got close with one tho. But stopped betting before I did something completely stupid ??

Haha!

I'd take that return anytime Gorg ... close enough to a $5k profit per annum.  But most punters are behind if the truth be known

And that sort of return pays for 2 week's holiday within Australia ... if one knows how to find the best deal's (who wants to travel overseas anymore anyway? haha)

It's how I generally go about betting on a Saturday ... a series of small bets to win moderate amounts with a couple of spec bets to win big.  For instance,  I'm using a few bonus bets at the Donald races today

And any bonus bets,  matched deposits & boost's all contribute towards a possible profit

So an interest becomes a hobby which then can become a profitable exercise,  however ...

3 big Stakes races on tomorrow at 3 different venue's ... good quality Magic Millions race at Ballarat for the 3&4yo's as well

All 3 Stakes races are good betting races too

I’ve been on Junipal last 5 I reckon, prob will again but affair is a great horse and this field is decent.

The race is so wide open that the exacta could pay quite well (apart from the other exotics)

So that's where I'm going and I'm including the 2 that you've mentioned Gorg

Well not a good day for me, a few seconds so bonus bets but no winners. Had a good three weeks so no complaints. See how I go on the nfl games Monday.

Hope you all did better than me.

I'm in front after getting Big Boy Roy & Excess Funds up ... 2 value runners winning is sometimes all that you need. 

But my exacta's haven't really delivered today.  Tough going trying to find a winner on Ballarat Cup day at the best of times but even the exotics are difficult

Got a couple of bets going at Ascot and if I get one up I'll end up having a good day

I sometimes do a pick 4 or 5 on the NFL ... Halftime/Fulltime the preference. I lean on 1 or 2 road teams if it looks like being one of those types of weeks (we should know by now!)

Wow! ... a more than decent performer is 'Inspirational Girl' ... cruised past them in the Railway under hands and heels by Pike

Meteoric rise for the lightly raced 5yo Mare but a trip to the East has to be on the cards soon enough

The All Star Mile in the Autumn looks ideal but the way she hit the line you'd imagine she'll get 2000m.

Have you blokes had a look at Winterbottom at Ascot today? (Race 9)

I don't mind 'Elite Street' (#13) at the value (20-1)

Trekking the obvious standout but a bit short for my liking

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
