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.

I’ll give 100/1 for Hartnell if you like Wadda?. I wonder why they chose not to run him on Saturday.

To be honest im not really a Hartnell fan and he probably wont win. I just thought i noticed something different about his run. He is a class horse.

Im still on Vega Magic, even though the bookies are taking him on a bit they said today. We also know why hes called Vega now! :)

Edit: The odds posted by Macca were prior to acceptances so maybe the betting was kept safe with Hartnell.

Ah yeah, Hartnell is not in the final field. Just saw that.

I want at least 500 then DZ!

Ha Ha. So @Macca beat me to Seabrook, Voodoo was a safe choice for me too but you’ve gone bang with him. I’ll leave Le Romain for binman, now I have to go back and look some more.

$2.80 is a good price at the moment. This should be a terrific race.

Well i guess your right, but he was sure flying at the end of the the last start Hartnell. Somebody on SEN said Kentamari will not get over being pantsed by Winx and will be unlikely to win.....

I think Le Romain might be a standout winner for a trifecta? Binman will probably best bet him as well! Hi Binman!!

Well it must be true then if 'someone' on SEN said so Wadda ? 

I wouldn't be counting out Kementari although it's up against some gun runners on Saturday - particularly Vega Magic & Happy Clapper.  Gator is convinced that the 3 will run the trifecta and nothing else can win.

Well thats what i thought Macca! Honestly, do people actually think horses have a human psyche? I just thought that was such an odd thing to say...."He was backed to beat Winx, but got smashed.....he wont get over that." ?

There would be a stack of horses that have won decent races after being beaten by Winx.  'Someone' adding to the Winx storyline for the sake of it,  me thinks. 

Happy Clapper,  Le Romain,  Hartnell,  Humidor have all won Group 1's after being beaten by Winx.  And there would be others.

Best Bet From Royal Randwick 

Race 7 - 3:50PM BISLEY WORKWEAR CHELMSFORD STAKES (1600 METRES)

Number 15 Unforgotten   $3.80 TAB

The mare’s late closing sectionals behind Winx were outstanding last start. Drawn well and although it’s a big enough field I believe there are only a few with a winning hope. She’s a pretty good mare and she rates on top for me.

Ok, so our Best so far are.....

Caulfield Race 6  No.6 Seabrook  $6.00

Royal Randwick Race 7  No 15 Unforgotten  $3.80

Caulfield: Race 8 No 3  Voodoo Lad $3.50

Those 3 combinations will snare you around 80/1 depending on whom you are placing a bet with. Dont forget as we get into spring the place bets really come into play with the bigger odds.

We await the mighty Binmans selections......Go Dees

Better standard of horse running around for us this week Wadda ... and as you have noted previously,  decent odds for those good horses because of the quality of fields.

The latest sees 6.50 available on Laddies for Seabrook,  4.50 for Unforgotten & 3.70 for Voodoo Lad.  I just put on our 3 in an all-up and got 86-1.  Will go again with all 4 with BM's choice.  200-1 for 4 high quality thorougbreds? 

We are going to land one sooner or later but the collects can happen if we use the horses individually.

My best on what might be a good day for favorites is Jaahmeh. Race 1 no 3 Caulfield.

In a small field with only one orher realustic chance, red alto, 2.20 is terrific value. Surprised it is not in the red. Though surely will tighten.

Could have gone cega magi or redzel but like races with 8 or less runners. Less chance of trouble in running.

Not much out my way in the Dandenong's but it's threatening ... it will probably be coming in from across your way so I've battened down the hatches!

Was always going to include 'Lite'n In My Veins' in race 4 and it paid off reasonably well in a trifecta ... 'Night's Watch looks a horse though. 

Missed on 'Goodfella' at Randwick and I'm kicking myself after following the horse for a bit - had it for 2nd or 3rd but should have boxed 'em.  Paid 1.5k ?

Good old Tom ran 2nd again but helped me get the trifecta so good on ya Tom!  Boxed 'em this time - once bitten twice shy!

Thus proving that there is a way to win by including Tom Melbourne in your exotics.  The horse is a very good performer that just can't find the finishing line ahead of the rest.

They weren't catching Native Soldier today ... set a decent pace and then cleared away in the straight.  Very impressive. 

Seabrook ran on for 3rd but was never it in - none of the others were.

And @Dee Zephyr  comes through with another winner.  Well done!

Top performance by 'Unforgotten' ... big future for the horse.  We might be seeing something special.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
