    Sparky is impressive, I reckon the filth are really filthy on us snaring him.

    Does Cook look a little like Peter Moore is it just me?

    Good call, hopefully he'll win a couple of Charlies.

    adding a vowel to the end of someone's name isnt really a nickname IMHO...

    How is it any different to shortening a name and calling someone like Jakovich "Jako"?

    It might not be an imaginative nickname, but it is still a nickname nonetheless, as is "Howie" and "Cookie/Cooko"

    ...or are you being deliciously ironic because your own name is "Benno"?

    anyway i am just a fan of clever nicknames.

    for exampe, for cook - captain is too obvious. what about monster?

    Nicknames come about best by those who actually know the person.

    Seldom are decent nicknames (that stick) thought up by those who do not know an individual, in this case supporters.

    Skipper?

    I think if nicknames are too obscure they are not only just as poor, but they don't catch on.

    My favourite has to be "Tugga" for Steve Waugh.

    "Afghanistan" for Mark has great comedy value, but it's hardly a nickname.

    The Russian? Bowser? Chunk?

    Hank? The wookie? the Walipiri Wizard?

    Don't spoil the illusion 45.

    The players are your friends, kiddies.

    They love you and know your name and always want to talk to you.

    I think more in terms of what is good to yell out at the footy.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
