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 Bets:

Rosehill: Race 6 No 2 Sayed  $3.40

Sunshine Coast: Race 7 Number 2 The Bostonian  $3.40

Caulfield: Race 7 No 3 Usain Bowler  $4.40

This weeks lucky numbers will net you a lazy $51.00 (approx) for your lazy $1.00 outlay, if they happen to win ! 

Good luck punters !

You'd reckon that sooner or later we'd get the 3 up Wadda ... and today is as good a time as any!

I got on last night @ 55-1 (boosted)  Just as well too as Sayed has come right in due to the scratchings in that race. 

I also llike 'I'm a Rippa' as my each-way chance in the Glasshouse Hcp (Sunshine Coast Race 9) ... currently showing $6.50 & $2.30

Got some tips fellas and I don’t usually receive them often. No comment in the text just races and numbers. I’ll post them anyway just to test out the source.

Rosehill R5 No.1 La Chica Bella

I notice the horse will carry 61kg on the Soft. Good start.

Rosehill R8 No.13 Mapmaker

Morphetville R3 No.5 Canford

Yep i went down to the tab before and got 27/1. :( Typical.

I did put them all on for a place as well into a few football teams.

Tell me....when you bet on the soccer (tab) shows result at full time. So how do you bet on a result at total time or whatever...ie the end of the game! Is it even possible? Im guessing its not.

Always like a good tip DZ. Yep 61kg in the mud is a great start! Is this the same sauce that said we would thrash Peru?

Don't know Wadda ... you are better off betting at Sportsbet or Ladbrokes where the odds shown are for after extra time or for the actual result regardless of extra time or penalties. 

The TAB do it for other sports as well and they shouldn't do so - a lot of punters get caught out.

Weve had some bad luck with the selections. We really have had some gun horses put in some very average runs, beaten by bolters, pipped on the line you name it. That said we are due soon. Come Spring we may get a few on the trot, so to speak.

Haha, we’ll find out soon enough Wadda. I’m taking the tips in a place multi, some good value. Around $7 for an all-place multi. 

There is a method of result betting option available on Tab for the soccer. Pick your team to win in extra time, penalties, full time, siesta time, whatever pleases you mate. There was a  “ To Qualify”  option on games but I can’t see it in the markets. That was always a good option to avoid the dreaded draw.

That’s probably the best option when it comes to knockout rounds. Just pick the team you think will go through to the next round. Slightly smaller odds of course but a simple way nonetheless.

Well Wadda, two tips in and we have tasted the sauce. Tastes like mustard. The horse with 61kg tired, no surprise though.

Staying races are not my go - even more so in the winter.  Sayed ran last - is that a first?  Another lesson learnt! 

Anyway,  my go today is in the Caloundra Cup,  Glasshouse Hcp,  Strickland Stakes & the Irish Derby ... and a very good class 2 race at Sha Tin tomorrow (race 7)  3 more staying races in amongst that lot so here's hoping ?

It seems that we're taking it in turns to find that 1 winner Wadda ... although,  to be honest,  it's not the best time of year in terms of trying to find a winner.  It will be a different story in the Spring when all the good horses are running around.

Ideal outcome DZ - enjoy!

 

Ended up breaking even on the day (why does that feel like a win? ?)

Had a few collects but nothing of any real significance ... my new strategy of boxing 5 in a trifecta feels like a more assured way of betting though.  Only issue is the low percentage of not so large dividends!

But I've loaded up a bit on the Irish Derby as my feature betting event for the day ... will be a late night what with the World cup on overnight as well

The Curragh - Irish Derby  2400m  Group 1  3yo  SW  $2.4Million (2.15am Sunday)

 

And there's a decent sprint race on at Sha Tin tomorrow if you're looking to have a bet

The Hong Kong Reunification - Race 7  1200m  C2  $320k

 

Oh,  and here's Material Man vs Pounamu again (raced today) ...

Belmont - Strickland Stakes  2000m  WFA  Group 3

Irish Derby from overnight ...

The odds on favourite (Saxon Warrior) was always a good chance to not win especially after finishing 4th in the Epsom Derby so the $850 trifecta was there for the taking.  

Apparently 'Latrobe' is owned by Lloyd Williams and I wonder whether he might bring the horse down to Australia for the cups?

El Magnificence to take on Nature Strip again in the listed A.R. Creswick Series Final ( R7) this Saturday at Flemington over 1200m. 

 

What odds Nature Strip with that field DZ? 

I had the race down as a trifecta race but will probably do a F4 instead with Nature Strip as the winner.

I will of course be including El Magificence in that F4.

    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
