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.

Best Bet (Saturday)

Caulfield R7 No.1 Probabeel 5.00/1.80

I’ll post something up before Saturday. 

 

Yeah I prefer to go early with my best bet Gorg.  Wednesday evening is form night!

Probably going to continue with the value/each-way type (brings the place multi into play) but with an emphasis on class

And Probabeel is just that ... classy

But if I really like a short-priced favourite,  I'll go down that path.  For instance, if the Caulfield Track has a bit of give in it on Saturday then Sir Dragonet in the Orr Stakes would attract a lot of big wagers and could start at a very short price

And just on the racing up in Hong Kong - the locals are very big on quinellas.  It's their favoured way of punting.  When in Rome?

I'm assuming they are percentage punters because there are often 4 or 5 genuine chances to win in most of the races (and that includes any of the horses that Purton or Moreira are on!)

I've generally done ok with exactas up there but I'm switching to quinellas (at HK)

The first Group 1 of the season tomorrow with the CF Orr Stakes to be run.  Will Sir Dragonet run?  Trainers Maher & Eustice are going to walk the track tomorrow morning looking for a bit of give in the track but the surface might be a Good3 by R8 anyway.  At a guess I don't believe it will run but I hope it does

The Blue Diamond Preludes will also be run whilst up at Randwick there are a couple of Black-type races as well as 2 high-stakes Inglis 2yo & 3yo events ($2Million & $1Million)

And they race at Sha Tin tomorrow as well (Saturday's once a month up there) - the meeting continues until 8.45pm so the 'Get-Out Stakes' x 5 is in operation!

If Sir Dragonet is scratched then Crosshaven could come into about 2.80 or 3.00

But I'd be on Imaging at about 4.50 (?) if I went for a win bet. 

Might Box 4 in a trifecta including a couple of value runners (Blazejowski & Sovereign Award?)

Blaze was great last week, can it back it up? Streets of Avalon can be very good or average, usually not a lot in between.

Sovereign is a solid horse. Humidor is the strange one amongst the group.

Boom! Probabeel! 
had her at $5.50 cos I put it on when you posted @macca so cheers!

Overs!!

Good on ya Gorg and I took on board what you said about Streets of Avalon (what a warrior horse Streets is!)

Got the quinella twice so a handy collect ... I work on the principle that if you get enough reasonable collects you'll end up in front

Come on 'Sword of Mercy'!

Value bet

Race 9, #10 Sword of mercy $7.50

Couldn't get clear running room ... really unlucky.  Held up for more than a furlong in the straight but that's racing

Jamie Kah wins again on Prophet's Thumb ... another treble for the elite hoop

Yeah I was on streets, got out to $9.50 too.

Sword didn’t get a run but as you said that’s racing. Shame as I had a multi on both our horses

Same here  ... had a place multi going but I've had a good day today (unlike last week!)

Gone down the quinella path at Sha Tin this evening ... got a couple of roughies going (in each race) for the value

I’m on Zing in the last and that’s me done. Either way I’m up some which means even after the super bowl I’ll end up a little if I don’t win there so that makes me happy 

I was on Ulysses but Zing looked home for you there ... at least with Sportsbet you get the bonus bet back

Yeah that helps, at the 100 I thought a good chance at the 50 knew it would get pipped.

Sha Tin has thrown up some roughies I just saw. Hope you snagged one of them.

Got a good collect in R8 ... 4 bets with 3 returns.  The last 2 money back

Might stick to the quinellas up there.  Boxing 4 or even 5 is like an each way bet

Purton or Moreira were involved in quinellas in 5 of the last 6 races.  That might be the clue I've been looking for

The first 4 races are often C5 or C4 races and are therefore the equivalent of BM58 or BM64 affairs.  I stay away until R7 normally

Just looking now, you are right, a lot I like. Gotta narrow it down. Not easy.

Managed to get the ok-paying trifecta with the top 2 in the betting both finishing in the placings

Classic Weiwei running 2nd added a bit of value

    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
