I’ve missed the early viewing of the racing today thanks to my beautiful wife having our daughter’s new bed delivered. Conversation went a little something like this. Me: Hon, there’s someone at the door with a few big boxes. Wife: Oh, cool....Moo’s new bed is here. Me: Huh? Wife: You know, the delivery I’ve been telling you about all week. Me: Um.... Ok....does assembly come as part of the delivery package? Wife: Dear God.....maybe I should join Demonland and post our plans so you can read them.?? The wife is definitely a keeper.

The TAB exacta approximate is showing $2.00 at the moment with just under $2500 in the exacta pool. Quinella showing $1.80 with $4500 in that pool.

That would be my fault Red. Bought all the banana muffins as there’s 2 house auctions in my street today. Thought I’d walk around and sell them to the highest bidder.

Sorry fellas, received a tip yesterday and forgot to mention it, that’s how a good a tip it must be. Randwick Race 3 Number 7 Gwenneth @13.15 $12.00 All I got told was to back it. Hmmm....maybe something small each way.....last thing we want is more PL.

Hi....first time poster but regular reader on this topic.I’m pretty frightened about the upcoming fortnight....is it too late to join this thread?

I guess we all see things differently, God Bless these Bombers fans on their footy page. Not even on Demonland do I believe we would stoop to ‘bin juice’ delusional levels if there was such a huge discrepancy in our favour. ‘See, I don’t think the umps were kind at all. I don’t think they paid us a single free that wasn’t a blatant free. On the other side I reckon they didn’t pay a couple of genuine ones against Richmond that cost us 3 goals at least’.

Came across this article. Jeff Bond explains a little about the psychology with us. Does this sound about right to anyone with knowledge in this field? https://apple.news/AJNXbhJ1-SZew3ancWW8nSA

In all honesty, that was one of the most biased calls I’ve ever heard in a game of football. Atrocious effort.

FFS, BT is even calling for free kicks now......

Oh.....the commentary is sickening......Druggies have a lot of wonderful players tonight.....blah, blah, blah.....best part was Goddard tripping over his shadow.

Richmond just don’t allow repeat inside 50s by the opposition. Seems like they have mastered everything from tap ons to backheels and any way possible to get the ball forward.

I think that was 2016 before they evened up from memory. Some research while waiting for the final squad. Total free kick count against us in the last two years against West Coast over there is 49. Shuey has been awarded 9 of them. A percentage of 18.36. Also one of the umpires from the 2016 game is officiating on Sunday. That Hosking guy.

I initially thought Geelong by a big margin like 60+ but the predicted weather (hail, thunder, wind) might have a part to play in the final margin. I have opted for GWS 1-39 $2.25 against the Swans as a second leg. NRL: Penrith 13+ vs Newcastle $2.15 @15:00 Sat. AFL: GWS 1-39 v Swans $2.25 @16:35 Sat.

Come on BOM, deliver as promised. Predicting hail, thunder and rain in the Geelong area tomorrow. The whole kit and caboodle please.

We are Nicholls free this weekend. Listed umpires are above.

That’s why I was hoping for ‘Look At Me Razor’, can’t believe I’m typing it. 50,000 fans screaming ‘Ball’ and Razor crossing his arms to spite them.

These guys any good for Sunday? 9 Matt Stevic 16 Brendan Hosking 17 Justin Schmitt

Fair enough, that’s your opinion. At least ‘ burden’ is a much simpler term than other words used to describe Jesse against the top sides such as ‘disgrace’ and ‘staging sook’. Funnily enough, the common theme as pointed out on here in all our losses against the ‘top’ sides has been our hospital balls and bombs inside 50. Not sure what hope any of our forwards have when we don’t move the ball quickly or lower the eyes. Anyway, it is what it is and it will be one tough road trip but I still believe it can be done with 22 committed players. Can’t afford any passengers this upcoming fortnight.

Let’s face it, Hogan is a massive loss as we can’t afford our best players out at this time of the year but like you said it gives an opportunity to throw a different mix up forward. Hogan is 4th in the comp with 151 score involvements behind Dusty (157), Riewoldt (153) and Breust (152). Goes to show he’s vital to our set-up. Interestingly Oliver tied 4th with 151 ( what a freak). We have some options, Melksham could play deep and can do it well like he showed us Anzac Eve against Rance, Trac goes well as deep forward also. Weid can crash some packs and create spills for our fleet of foot, doesn’t even have to kick a bag. We need to make every attack count because we’ll be spewing up if we see the likes of Cripps, Rioli and Ryan getting cheap ones out the back the other way.

Best Bet Royal Randwick Race 4 Number 3 Oohood $2.40 Now that the filly has tasted victory albeit a jumpout at Flemington over 800m a couple of weeks back, there’s no stopping her from here. She’s actually never won a barrier trial either before the jumpout. I think she’s high class and the trainer believes she would even love it up to a mile. 6 placings from 6 starts with prizemoney just under $1mil.

Yes he will, with the winning goal after the siren. How that place would melt if that occurred, Oliver’s been copping a lot of flack on the West Coast boards.

Hmmm, some whispers going around late this afternoon the Toiges might also rest one reigning Brownlow medalist tomorrow night. Possible late out.

I was listening to RSN this morning during school drop-off and heard the news of Torcedor, a once early market favourite for the Melbourne Cup being bought by a German consortium. Connections apparently decided against bringing the horse to Oz for the Cup but the offer to sell was too good to refuse. A Melbourne Cup trip might be back on for the horse.....watch this space. Currently @$26 and $7.25.

If Weid comes in I’d put him in the ruck for the first centre bounce, let him be involved instantly win or lose the hit out, feel the heat so to speak and Max starts forward.

Get my wife to join Demonland so she can PM me our weekly plans.
