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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
