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.

Always nice to back the first winner of the day (a bonus 50 on winnings too!)

And worth following is 'Tokorangi' too - impressive winner

Off-season Group racing always keeps up the interest

2 races tomorrow that standout ... I like Daisies (and Mamounia for a bit of value) in the Aust Oaks as well as Count de Rupee in the Victory Stakes (Niccanova for the exotics)

And I've had 2 very prosperous weekends so I'm all in!!  Be good if it was like this all the time!  Even got a roughie up at Hawkesbury (Exotic Ruby) and that is rare.  I generally don't ever back roughies!

So next weekend we've got the Sangster & the Hollindale.  Both races are sure to attract very good fields and both could end up being good betting races

Big day at Eagle Farm tomorrow - Super Saturday!!

3 Group races from the washed out Doomben races added to this Saturday's Eagle Farm card so we end up with 3 x G1, 2 x G2 & 4 x G3 and a listed race.  10 races in all

Excellent fields and some very good betting races - value aplenty

A perfect lead in to our game vs Freo

Good luck if you're having a wager

I’m out for the day, so might just punt my black bookers, but yeah should be a good day. Hope the tracks not too heavy.

Soft5 now and improving ... very little rain predicted and Eagle Farms drains well

Could be a Good4 at best so it doesn't look like we'll get a heavy track

Had a small wager on Polly Grey but Polly likes it wet ... how far Zaaki?!

@Dee Zephyr

Time-honoured Stradbroke on tomorrow - wide open race and the exotics could pay anything ... punting that way could be a lot easier than finding the winner! (If luck is on your side)

And then we've Royal Ascot beginning next Tuesday evening with 3 Aussie horses competing

Tuesday 14th June - King's Stand St.  1000m (Nature Strip)

Saturday 18th June - Jubilee Stakes 1200m (Nature Strip, Home Affairs & Artorius)

All days covered on the racing channel (or racing.com)

I like Eleven Eleven, has a terrific finishing burst, but I’m not overly confident it will win. Like you said all the value will be in the exotics…will try my luck there for sure.

Got Eleven Evelen included in a wide exacta!

The exacta is my default bet if I'm flummoxed, DZ!

Alligator Blood drew the car park next to the car park next to the the track

Same deal for Alligator, Gorg (exacta)

But the lightweights might feature ... any of Brooklyn, Isotope & Vilani could get into the finish

Good luck today punters, if you're having a flutter!

I missed the exacta as I only had AB in for 2nd in an exacta ... ugh!

Scored 4 winners at Morphettville today though, so it's been a reasonable day

F4 in the Straddy paid $25k!

And apart from the up & coming 'Isotope' (which had drawn well and was only carrying 52.5kgs) the other 3 had won at G1 level

Anyway, there is a huge meeting at Belmont Park (New York) later on tonight ... 8 x G1 races with some high quality fields

I fancy most of the favoured horses so a few small outlay multi's might bring a decent return ... got a handy double up (G3 & G1) last night in the warm up meeting at Belmont Park

Ideal lead into Royal Ascot starting Tuesday

So all the overseas form, odds & tips can be found at www.racingpost.com

A number of the good horses return on Saturday ... 4 Stakes races at Caulfield with the highlight race being the G2 PB Lawrence Stakes (R8)

A decent betting race for a small field too - any of the 9 runners can win the race

First G1 of the new season at Randwick Saturday (Winx Stakes)

Good field assembled but nearly all the runners are back from a spell ... Anamoe is the class runner in the race but noted frontrunners Profondo, Hinged & Forbidden Love should be leading for a lot of the race

Might be one for the exotics only ... trifecta might pay well with the right combo

9 Stakes races to be run on Saturday (Moonee Valley & Randwick)

The time honoured Feehan Stakes at the Valley should attract a top field whilst up in Sydney the Chelmsford & the Concorde will be keenly contested

Footy finals, Spring Carnival, NFL and the Baseball playoffs are about to begin.  Great time of the year especially with the Demons involved at the pointy end!

There's a couple of stakes races at Wyong tomorrow. Mona Lisa Stakes 1350m (R6) & the Wyong Gold Cup 2100m (R7)

Both look like trifecta races or maybe F4 (Exacta?) Probably 5 or 6 genuine winning chances in both races

A nice precursor for Saturday

A few points to come out of Saturday's racing

Eduardo (9yo) is just a Marvel winning the Concorde in fine style.  The other 1000m sprint (McEwan St) held at the Valley was also won well by the rejuvenated Rothfire

The experts thought the 1000m might have been a bit short but Rothfire is back in business

Zaaki won the Tramway easing down and Mr Brightside looks a Cox Plate chance after winning the Feehan well

And Aysar surprised all by winning the Chautuaqua Stakes.  The horse has talent but it's form is all over the place!!  An apt race to win, all things considered 😏

Boom 3yo Colt 'I am Caviar' started as $1.28 favourite today at Moe and ran 5th!

Deserves another chance as the breeding is a head turner ... I am Invincible & Black Caviar!

Moody was saying that I am Caviar will be a City class horse but maybe not Stakes class.  Time will tell

    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
