Can we put together a list of our current players' real nicknames, meaning the ones that are used by the players' themselves, rather than the ones supporters might like to use? I know Jones is 'Chunk' but what are other players known as?  I've heard some people call Harmes 'Nut' and others call him 'Chomp'. But are either, or both, actually what his team-mates use? 

If posters want to add their own ideas, please make clear it's not the player's true nickname. What I want this thread to tell me is what players' nicknames actually are.

    At a couple of kids clinics this year I’ve heard the players call Salem ‘Salo’ Or ‘Say-Lo’.

    Spargo is nicknamed 'Chuck'... I've always had the thought of this lookalike.

    He was pretty firey as a first year player and that could get even more accentuated as he gets more physical strength and confidence.  Could almost be said to have the personality of Chucky as well.

    Could be a good asset to have a player that gets under the skin of the opposition and their supporters every week.  Could be our improved version of Hayden Ballantyne.

    Not that bloody literally, but it wouldn't hurt if he was the equivalent of a killer on the footy feild.  Every good team gains from having a few players with a bit of mongrel and killer instinct, providing that agression is well focused and controlled.  Watching how he plays, I think Spargo fits that mold pretty well.

    No coincidence that this thread appears after Cameron Pedersen leaves.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
