It would seem that we have the least imaginative nicknames of all the clubs. I read today that Scully and Trengove have 'Skull' and 'JT' respectively. Add to that, Millsy, Brucey, Greeny, Whitey etc. I wonder if Dean Bailey has too much influence in the nick-naming. He seems to refer to the new guys in early pressers by such names as 'Giz', 'Skulls' etc. Whoever it was on this forum who coined the name 'Noah' for Trengove, handed the Dees a fantastic opportunity, but NO, they didn't take it. I think putting a 'Y' on the end of someone's name, or shortening it and putting an 'S' on the end, as in 'Bails', does not constitute a nick-name. With Jurrah, we had the opportunity to call him 'Warlpiri Wizard' or as I read recently, his indigenous name 'Jukutai', but what did we end up with - 'LJ'.

We used to have some good ones like 'Wizard', 'Tigger', 'The Ox', etc. Maybe it was the ox who bestowed these names. Hopefully, in amongst our new recruits is someone with imagination.

precious much?

I think the players will call their teammates whatever is easiest to call out loudly and quickly whilst on the ground.

What they call each other should not necessarily have any bearing on what we as supporters refer to them as.

Feel free to continue calling Trengove 'Noah'.

'JT' works just fine for me as long as people don't insist on calling him 'Trenny' - it sounds both unoriginal and unsophisticated.

Edit: grammar.

That is what is holding us back! We don't have good nicknames. Bugger, that must be worth 6 goals a week.

Australian's always have useless nicknames. Just stick a Y on the end and all is well.

426 was a pretty creative name for Nick Smith

Always was my favourite. I don't mind hightower for PJ. And master is kind of lame the second time you hear it, but I like it anyway.

Which team have the best?

Was going to say this as well. I love when people get grumpy at something in the club, they immediately decide we must be the worst.

Apparently.

Here I am thinking they may have come with extra anchovies.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
