It's bloody JORDON!!!!

(I hope that helps Mr Demonstone)

Onya Froggy!  As you may have noticed, I'm on a mission from Gad.

Jack Trengove not Trengrove !! 

I had a feeling that these Air Jordons I bought in Thailand were fake.

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.

Before we started winning it was demeanland.

Liam Jarrah, Brock McClean, Brent Maloney and Ricky Pettard needed a thread like this 10 years ago.

Jeff Gartlett had a nice run too.

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....

His first name is pronounced Hamez? Have I got that right?

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?

it is fun messing with the pedants and the posters with ODC.   just can't a letter out of palce

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.  

I’m wrapped that this thread has groan so long. I wouldn’t of through it possible.

Grammatically incorrect. You should be using the present participle, ie, versing.

Yawohl: you are correct. I assumed people knew that! Imagine the turmoil had I spelt it as Veideman?

‘Cause this a page of pedantry - can you elucidate where the irony is? 

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.
