Rare first names for the draftees.

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. 

 

Haven't seen a Olympus, Spartacus or even Hercule read out yet either!

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.

There’s been some humdinger names in the NRL. I reckon nothing can top Fuifui Moi-Fui Moimoi

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.


Didn’t ohalpins brother get a game? Which one kicked his team mate at Carlton?

Brett Ebert’s whole name had four letters.

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.

His brother was Sean Og O hAilpin

Setanta kicked his team mate.

I'm sad that we didn't get Phoenix Spicer

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

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
