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.

Well....i threw McCreery in for 3rd as an after thought because i was talking about it yesterday....

Nice dividend too Wadda - well done!

It was a tricky race but we nearly got it ... 1st,  2nd & 4th is always the worst possible outcome.  Mister Sea Wolf was never in it whilst we probably all looked at McCreery.   Well you did anyway ?

Leather & Lace got up for 3rd ... the winner too good (one of the 'other' Weir horses)

I've had a couple of ok collects today but my main aim was always Sha Tin tomorrow.  Quietly confident of getting a few reasonable returns if things fall my way.

I'm not sure I want to mozz them Wadda but I'll post up my 3 possible winners in each of the 3 Group 1 races - they are all quite obvious but I always hope for my 3rd fancied runner to win (highlighted)

I'll add a couple of placegetters and box the 3 first choice runners in each race in a separate bet ...to stave off punters lament. 

  • Race 6 - Beauty Generation,  Season's Bloom,  Singapore Sling
  • Race 7 - Mr Stunning,  Beat the Clock,  Ivictory
  • Race 8 - Ping Hai Star,  Time Warp,  Al Ain

Not a bad run Wadda, spoke to my mate prior to the race and he basically said they will decide soon on his future. These “ not bad” runs are becoming all too familiar lately and probably best to come to a decision soon. 

Anyway, we carry on and look forward to Sha Tin tomorrow.

He did run quite a good race i thought, beat my runner home. Theres just not much in the tank at the end. Send him down to Tassie....(thats actually what they did with my horse toward the end of his career).

Here are the early odds for the 2 Group 1's next Saturday at Morphettville ... a much better choice for our trifecta type race in my opinion.  The fields will no doubt be reduced although 20 horses did run in the G1 Sprint last year whilst only 14 ran in the 2017 G1 Australasian Oaks ...

Demons get a win! ... albeit against average opposition.  Still,  there are a stack of average sides in the league.  And the good teams aren't that good.

Anyway,  what was that line out of 'Hotel California'?

Well I got my days total outlay back on the 4th race Trifecta ... % only but I'm now playing with house money with bets already laid.  I should just bet at Sha Tin and have the odd flutter in the local races here in Australia (Group 1's) Not every week but there's usually 2 or 3 good trifecta races on up there most weeks. 

Beauty Generation won with real class in the just completed G1 Mile ... just missed on the trifecta but 2 races to go Wadda.  The Sprint race is up next.  Lets see how good this Ivictory is up against Mr Stunning & Beat the Clock.  It would want to be good to beat those 2.

No Wadda,  but that doesn't surprise.  The small fields and the truly run races lends itself to the obviously good horses getting into the finish.  But if 1 or 2 of the 3 top fancies don't figure in the finish there are some good dividends to be had. 

Trifectas at Sha Tin in the Group races have an 'each-way' feel about them ... I don't miss very often but the dividends can also often be 'money-back' or thereabouts.  I see it as more of a percentage play hoping that my 4th & 5th picks can get into the finish (in a 3-5-5 trifecta) I also box the first 3 picks as that combo does salute on more than the odd occasion.  2-4-4 is another option that can reward.

Ok i see......yes. Looks like John Size rules the show here......always wondered where he got to.

Im going Ping Hai Star one out to win, and mixed up a few others for the placings, and also a 4 box with your selections plus Pakistan Star.

    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.

    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
