I'm pretty sure I've never seen a first name Denver, Tanner, Reef, Finlay or Braeden pull on a guernsey in the AFL. (Just filling in time until the draft gets underway}.

Other contributions welcome.

    “Easton” Wood was the start of the move away from John, Jack and David.

    When I see names like this I always assume the parents have spent much of their life receiving unemployment benefits

    Falls at the first hurdle! Just within this team there's a repeated name.And the repeated name doesn't even extend beyond one player.

    I also wonder if Aliir Aliir is the only AFL/VFL player in history with the same first and last name? Donald McDonald gets close.

    Add the Mullets and porno Moustache that a number of players had, I thought we were back in the 80's.

    Alex Neal-Bullen is worth including because the Late Danny Frawley when commentating thought his 1st name was Neal and last name was Bullen.

    I'm really surprised by Willingham, McCallum and Hampton being unique surnames. Adem and Reece I would have expected to see more of, too.

    Aliir and Daw won't be unique for long, they are the cultural equivalents of Smith and Jones and the community is taking to AFL like Islanders to Rugby or Irish to sunburn.

    He qualifies as the only player with the surname Aliir and the first name Aliir.

    Phoenix Spicer sounds like the name of a crop dusting plane.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
