Ramblings of Roger Part 327

This is one of the most bizarre and comical names I have ever come across.

Accordingly, I felt compelled to investigate further.

In my mind the poor kid must suffer either from cruel parents syndrome or that old chesnut 'how to distract people from your family's ridiculous surname, by giving your son a Christian name to make him a laughing stock.' Anyway, back to investigations: it turns out 'Didymus' means 'twin' in who tf cares what language (let's go with latin or greek). Going with 'Twin' there is the distinct possibility that Dids has a twin brother/sister with an equally preposterous name (my sympathies).

Delving a little further, we discover there were one or two famous 'Didymus' about 2000 years ago when everyone had silly names. There was Didymus the Blind (who, of course was a writer) and Didymus the Musician (who no doubt tapped out some funky stuff on a rock). Therefore, you can't go past the natural progression and logical conclusion: Didymus the Demon is a must!

Nickname sorted: "Epi" Didymus.

... the "Didymus" here referring to "The Twin", i.e. testis. So he would definitely add balls to the team.

The "Epi" part of "epididymus" means "next to" or "from" the twin. It's the tube that moves stuff from the testis toward the outside world.

Thus endeth the anatomy lesson.

Be amusing if he was a run with shut down type player. The Herald sun would have a field day. "Dydymus Blankets Selwood in dees rout"

No nothing about him, but academy players seem to find their way onto AFL lists, so I'm assuming we will be hearing his name again.

Headlines of the future -

Shot at goal after the siren to decide a game -

"Didymus? No he didn't!"

Suspended -

"Blanket ban: Didy to miss."

I swear, if this guy plays 200 games and still doesn't end up murdering the Channel 7 commentary team, it will be an achievement as great as any in football.

We already know Briant Taylor will obsess over it.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
