    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.

Out of contract... I rate this fella very highly. Can play multiple positions.

I prefer to chase Sicily rather than pay overs for Lever. 

2nd round Pick (26-30) & Watts for Sicily?

Or

1st round Pick (9-12) for Sicily and Howe (rate this guy too)? 

I can see Howe playing his career as a big bodied mid.

Thoughts?

Hawks would want more than Watts and that pick. Why would they trade a marking forward who can play back, for a confidence player and a pick? Granted they probably want to stock up but Watts is barely a depth player, he's either top 22 or a deck chair being shuffled in and out. Hawks will be looking to add useful depth to replace injuries.

I can't believe this has even been raised.  Sicily is the number one [censored] in the game, I couldn't stomach him in a Demon guernsey!

You're right. We have all round good blokes like Bugg.

one of the hawks favourites, no way they'd let him go.

Totally agree. Being out of contract he has to be gettable though. His choice...

Not a very good player and a fake tough guy.  

Seriously! He would walk into any side... I dont know who you are watching. Lol

Reminds me of his twin Clayton Oliver. Looks like him and is a competitve beast.

I believe it! He is a gun... ?

Sicily maybe more affordable than Lever.

Lever has consistent soft-tissue injuries.

Sicily has proven he can play multiple postions very well. He thrives on playing on the edge.

Hawks will want to keep him, thus wanting a bit more than he is worth.

But surely they will be keen to get back into the early part of the draft in some way.

Problem is I don't think he is worth your 1st round pick whatever that turns out to be, but he is worth more than your 2nd round pick.

We gave 2nd round for Melksham and then Hibberd, and now we're giving it AND Watts for Sicily? Watts is not steak knives because of a few bad games and an untimely omission, a club would take him on the proviso that they could get the best out of him, and his best is elite.

Sicily is not elite, this is what we'd offer for someone who is a gamechanger and addresses a serious need. Like Isaac Smith for instance. The Hawks need defenders and would probably want Frost. Sicily for Frost, straight swap as Sicily will assumedly have nominated us. (If Lever fell through)



Watts will be selected against Brisbane and Collingwood and will get another opportunity to redeemon himself if we beat the Saints.

Genuinely shocked to hear him being rated on this site!  He is a very, very average footballer in the mold of Brad Miller.  That's no slight on Miller, he had a good career for a player of his ability - but I'd say Sicily's just about peaked; what you now see is what you get.

Average key forward, average tall defender.

(plays for free kicks way too often too)

He's a very good player. He's not that tall for an AFL player (1.89m).

2nd rd pick and Watts or a 1st rd pick. 

You must be talking about a different Sicily to the one I know.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
