    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.

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
