What is your favourite nickname for a Melbourne player?

If you don't know any then try to come up with one!

Examples - Aaron Davey (Flash)

- Jack (Good Times) Grimes

    Judy "Garland"-just needs to perform on the big stage consistently -and stop looking at the replay.

    Tom "Drive Thru" McDonald.-still workshopping.

    I'm gonna start calling Dom Barry, "Nong"...as per the suggestion of "Barrignon".

    It'll catch on. Just you watch.

    you will n otice when mark neeld does interviews, especially when we loose, his right eye starts twitching.

    so I was thinking, either, the twitcher, or birdman

    (i.e. twitcher as in bird watcher)

    Mm, I don't think that would be appropriate, I heard Malthouse saying at some stage that he delayed neurosurgery for Collingwoods 2010 premiership. This year he has been accused of being racist, being unable to coach, criticised for starting captains on the bench, not having a game plan and the usual media slander. His medical history is none of our business; nick names referring to any neurological condition which is no fault of his own might not be very tasteful. Don’t need a coach frustrated by impatient supporter slander of a developing playing group, to be any more upset with us than he probably already is.

    no offence was meant. To be honest I thought it was down to stress of his first year with everything going to hell.

    apologies.

    HE actually said in an interview earlier this year that the twitch is a result of nerve damage after he broke his jaw back when he played. I believe he is planning on having it fixed at some point.

    I heard this, too.

    Pretty sure when they fixed his jaw one of his facial nerves wrapped itself around the bone. He's had the surgery to fix it but I takes tome for it to fix itself (like, years). But there is a notable improvement since the start of the year and now. He even gets through some interviews without it playing up at all

    The way of creating a nickname is simple.

    Just add a Y to the end of their name.

    Examples - Wattsy

    - Howey

    - Grimesy

    - Clarky

    Need I say more?...

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
