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.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      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.
