Does anyone have any others, Toompus maybe? Let's show them the respect by getting their names spelt properly.

    Some common ones over the last few years:

    Dunne

    Silvia

    Bertram

    Bates

    Davies

    Maloney

    And Pettard

    Ah ha, have we cottoned on to Neeld's recruiting methods here? He is trying to get rid of players with "difficult for some" surnames, and replace them with short surnames, for the benefit of some supporters. Look at the list of "outs" above - there is a trend here...

    I'm not looking forward to the first person who gets Kent incorrect, and I also thank Christ we haven't drafted a "Smith".

    Not MFC obviously but one of the best I saw was Danyle Pearce morphed into Darryl Pierce.

    Ahhhh......now I know why Marc Kneeled and that guy who wore #22 fell out.

    And had we drafted a Smith, he would no doubt get Smyth or Smythe.

    That will always happen, libby :-)

    I've noticed Shannon Byrnes spelled has Brynes quite a lot. Could be because the 'r' and 'y' are only one key apart.

    Garry Lyon's first name always seems to misspelt by a few. He's only been around the Club for 25 years and people still refer to him as 'Gary'.

    Honest mistakes, are just that. Lets not be picky, there's a good place to improve.

    Say No to attacking one another, or putting down one another, on a personal level.

    If you want to attack on a professional basis re ones occupation, go ahead.

    Cam Pedersen is the majority of the time spelt incorrectly as Cam Pederson, fair enough weird spelling.

    And what is wrong with a little pedantacism?

    I reckon the best of all time would have to be Adem Yze. I'm not sure how you spell his real name, but people always threw these letters out there hoping to get it right one day.

    Strongly disagree. Ridiculous suggestion. Clearly he got rid of players because of their non-traditional first names, such as Cale and Jared.

    Not if you're from Scandinavia.

    You've got it all wrong. It was Ooze.

    • 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.
