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.

Reading training reports and some other topics I sometimes get confused with player nicknames (I'm sure I'm not the only one).

And to further confuse things, I even get the impression that some players have more than one nickname.

Would someone be kind enough to list player nicknames for me/us thus making it easier to follow some topics.

Add a Y to their last or first names and you have a great start.

'Doctor Jones' is probably a reference to Indiana Jones, via the awful Aqua song - 'Dr Jones, Jones, calling doctor Jones" repeated ad nauseum.

Great thread - hope we can cumulatively document it. 

I for one know no-ones nick name - mind I have a few personal ones when they're playing like flogs.

He was 426 I believe.

Great, thank you. I suppose most are self explanatory but a few show a bit of imagination Nibler, Chunk.

However is Christian Petracca also CP5? And Clayton Oliver, Clarry Choo Choo or similar?

I would also nominate another nickname for Max Gawn: Rasputin!

Angus Brayshaw's grandfather is Sticks and his father is Sticks so Angus should also be Sticks.

With a name like Angus..."Steaks" :rolleyes:

Wow, the geniuses that came up with some of those nick names

Thought Smithy, Wattsy, Kenty, Harmesy , Hunty  and Whitey were just brilliant.

You're welcome.

I was just jotting down what I had heard the players and staff call one another (their actual nicknames).

Clarry Choo Choo and CP5 I would consider fan nicknames commonly used on the forum for either fun or shortness (similar to VB for Vandenberg).

If you would like I can add those in brackets next to each player? or feel free to take my post above and edit your original post to begin the database (like the contracts thread). :)

All those without the question mark and asterisk I picked up from watching player and staff interviews, as well as mic'ed up training and game day footage.

I avoided D'land and fan related nicknames.

One of my main reasons for asking for player nicknames was to better understand some of the training reports. I, like many others hang out for the reports but when nicknames are used instead of proper names the reports can get a little confusing. OK I'm fine with Wattsy and Kenty for instance but Bull and Taz would have me stumped (I'd probably think Taz referred to Colin Garland)!.

i think it would be helpful to have "fan" nicknames added as they do frequently appear on this site and in training reports.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm not sure how to start a database.

Again thank you for your input, and monoccular's as well.

    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

    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.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    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
