As someone lucky enough to have a hyphenated surname, can we make sure there's a hypen in there if we're spelling Alex's whole name. ?

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was mentioned somewhere he doesn't have a hyphen in his name.

Edit - Just remembered it might have been on channel 7 commentary one week so source is probably unreliable...

    Thank God the club don't read Demonland, if they did we'd be rid of Tmac, Hunt, Nibbler, Viney, Langdon, Tomlinson etc.

    And Melksham

    Time to get the pen and paper in front of Nibbler. 
     

    ANB is having a standout year. He has had the endurance but his fumbles or decisions let him down.  He fits even fitter and more assured. Definitely playing the HFF role as it should be. Also good at the tackle and defensive structure of the team.

    His own instagram disagrees so I think perhaps channel 7 didn't get their facts straight, who would have thought a reputable media organization like them could do such a thing...

    Nibbler is one of those bottom 6 players that benefit when the team collective is doing well, it allows him to keep his role in the team simple and isn’t expected to do too much. He’s having a really good year (I think his 2018 currently is still better but there’s still over half the season to go). He’s not flashy, he just does his job.

    happy that ANB has showed something this year Dr.D, he has been good, he had to though IMO,  i think he has been underwhelming, but a new year a new a clean slate and im happy to see him go well.

    Maybe the team is doing well because the bottom 6 players have improved.......

    A keep it simple footballer who can be extremely useful because of his running ability.

    Every team needs their share of workhorses. He's in his prime so you could probably give him another two-year deal.

    I agree the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Our 9-0 run was definitely built on everyone playing their roles whether they were stars or fringe players.

    One of my favourite players. Huge work rate and you know he is happy to sacrifice for the team. Skills have improved hugely this year. He is the type of player that is very important in a premiership quest.

    Well done Nibbler and well deserved!

    I reckon a lot of it's down to having a clear role, playing within those parameters and keeping the decision making simple. Historically, he'd be gassed from all his running and would turn it over or fumble it. I think it's good coaching and clearly he's stepped up to the plate. Well done, ANB.

    If he plays on Caleb Daniel tonight, which I would do, he will be close to our most important player tonight.

    Have a good one Nibbler!!

    Good, it will make ANBs job easier then.

    I agree his game is crucial tonight. Has to stick those tackles and he doesn't need to release the ball in bad spots. There's moments where he does this and the ball keeps moving resulting in leaving us stretched down back, sometimes it would just be better to get pinged.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
