Hes a good young player is our Jordan.

He moves like a young version of Aussie basketball legend Andrew Gays,  and Melbourne supporters will be hoping he can own the wing like Demon great Robbie Fowler.

the real question is, is it DEMONLAND or DEMANLAND ?

It should be called Demandland because I demand to see at least one premiership before I die.

Sam Weideman, at various times, has been called Wiedeman, Weiderman and Weidemann.  

The gold medal however goes to the unfortunate and unnamed poster who spelled it as Wiedermann, thus getting it wrong three different ways in one go.

The original Weidemans may well have been Weidemanns. And everybody who wishes to be pedantic about this ought to be advised that Weideman is pronounced WAYDEMAN in German, or, to be perfectly correct Waydeman with a soft A, as in un-lock....

Hey Dieter, if i can remember my German correctly - and I may not - i thought all German W's were pronounced as V's. So pronounced Vaydeman?

Nietschke, Fritsch and Bradtke I've noticed for some are hard to get right. Ironically Jordon is wearing number '23' which was made famous by Michael Jordan.

For all intensive purposes, this is a great thread.

I literally die every time someone mis-spells a player's name.

Schwartz is the most irritating, along with the laconic Gary Lyons.
