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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
