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.

Will keep an eye out Gorg

Got a couple/few that you like in the Stradbroke? 

I've had a small wager using bonus bets on Apache Chase (carrying 49.5kgs) but Vega One & Wild Planet aren't carrying much weight either

Exotics could pay really well and I might box a Trifecta in the race

Just saw this. Sorry for the late reply.

So much class in the Stradbroke. Hard to go past Vega One. 
The Havrovian is another that looks a chance.

 

Converge won very well. Good choice.

Loaded up with bonus bets on Converge so a happy lad here.  Got the early odds as well

Just need Sweet Deal to salute to get the double ... fingers crossed

And I included The Harrovian ... Niccanova a big show as well

Sweet deal just had no go, was in a great spot but had no extra gear.

I had Brooklyn Hustle as a saver ... the horse seems to have arrived as a proper horse after disappointing for a stretch

My other choice was Odeum, I like that horse but either way, I would have chosen a loser ?

Yeah it's a tough game at the best of times Gorg.  Still, you've got to be in it to win it

Speaking of which,  for the horse racing enthusiasts out there,  Royal Ascot kicks off with 5 days of G1, G2 & Stakes racing starting on Tuesday night (all 5 days to be shown on the racing channel from about 10.30pm)

www.racingpost.com has all the form, odds & tips.  Haven't perused yet but there is sure to be some sort of Aussie representation

Yeah it looked it but the winner came past like a rocket

Had a lean week at Ascot until last night ... managed to land a 2/3 parlay with Point Lonsdale,  Wonderful Tonight & Dream of Dreams.  The treble (especially) paid very well

Will post up all the Ascot G1 replays soon enough ... this thread acts in historical fashion if people want to scroll through (or back) for replays of most of the G1 races

But sitting up until 2am - 3am has taken its toll!  Tired as!

Yeah, I’ve been a fan of Odeum for a while, Brooklyn just got it last start. Add in Tofane and Savjust for starters… can’t wait!

Yep those 4 would go into my F4 ... thinking of boxing 6 and taking a small percentage.  Apart from Brooklyn, the other 3 you mentioned have excellent Group racing form  

Nudge & Charleise have both been running well lately but for value and previous G1 & G2 form,  Lyre & Dame Gizelle could be thereabouts.  There's always a roughie

I have narrowed it down to 10!!

Each-Way Saturday - Flemington

R7 No.9 Lunar Flare $12/$3.20 

Will end up doing a parlay 2/3 with Lunar at the place (3.20) as one of the 3 legs

Yeah always a roughie there abouts. Nudge is def in the mix and Lyre could easily place.

Yeah those 2 can be the add-ons Gorg

So I'll be cheering on Lyre! 

All the picks are renowned strong finishers so it could easily be a blanket finish

Can't say I like any of the other races at Eagle Farm apart from the last (race 9)

    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
