    "This interesting and rare surname, found widely recorded in Gloucestershire, is the Anglicized form of a Dutch name which may have arrived in England at two periods in English history. Firstly, it may have arrived in Gloucestershire when Edward 111 brought Flemish weavers over to teach their craft to the English, with many settling in the Cotswolds. More likely however, the name followed later from Holland due to the religious persecution of French Huguenots, by the Duke of Alba who suppressed the Protestant revolt in the Netherlands (1567 - 1572), and who fled to nearby countries."

    And jcb, I'd let go of the Nasher bashing. You're not exactly covering yourself in glory.

    Nasher is clearly a racist. He obviously hates all anglicised dutch aboriginal Turks. What a shameless racist.

    Thanks for the surname history. Interesting.

    Agree on jcb too.

    Les Bian is a standout, very skillfull, hard at it backman,,,,,,

    True story. There was a L.Behan played for Melb U19's in 60's and went on to be a start at Port Melbourne

    Unfortunately 'L' was a Lance not Les but say L. Behan quick enough and it's close enough.

    Let's not be mistaken. Yes it is an awesome name but Fred-Dee is also an awesome player. I know, I go to the EP games. He was the WAFL Rising Star for the 2011 season, is a great kick, makes quick and accurate decisions, goes in hard, appears to be well liked by his peers and from some of the examples I have seen, too brave for his own well being.

    If you don't want him in Demonland we will surely take him back with open arms at the Royals ... if he doesn't go elsewhere in the AFL ....

    Lance was his brother who played for Fitzroy, the one we had was Brendan.

    Lance also played for Richmond.

    Brendan's potential was highly touted when he first came to Melbourne but he struggled to get a senior game.

    He became a star player with Port Melbourne in the mid 70s.

    Off the field, he formed a partnership with Malcolm Speed in a legal practice. Speed was involved in basketball and later became famous in cricket administration.

    I don't think so.

    Was he picked up anywhere?

    Pity - the name alone would draw crowds ;-)

  • Quote

    I reserve the right to irrationally hate Leigh Williams for taking Clutterbuck's spot.

    Unless LW turns out to be good then I'll do the most ridiculous about face in history.

  • Quote

    To make up for the lack of a silly first name I insist he becomes Leigh Von Clutterbuck, then we're square.

    well we've got him back over in the West at the MIGHT ROYALS and will get to watch the legend every week ...

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
