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".

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 :-)

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.

Sorry DC, probably a little pedantic. Just shits me I guess.

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.

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

Not if you're from Scandinavia.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
