There's usually a few master givers of nicknames at footy clubs and nicknames can be derived from the most randomness of 'stuff'.

As an asides, I've actually been woundering where 'Chin' came from?

“Chin” is because of Kade’s chiselled chin.

 I’m not sure why Judd is nicknamed “knuckles” but I reckon it suits him and it’s stuck now anyways.

Tommy Sparrow’s nickname is “Spaz” around the club, and according to his mum it’s what he insists on being called. Still feels kinda weird to hear it being yelled out though.

    He signed a contract extension until the end of 2025. 

    It's a bit early for the "is he going home?" angst.

    Also he's a cute kid. Surely we can organise him a Melbourne based girlfriend!

    Remember 'knuckle-puck time' in Mighty Ducks?

    Clearly the FD have no idea what they're doing.

    Not everyone makes the correct call 100% of the time. The Dees were bundled out of the finals last year relatively easily and the forward line had issues for a big chunk of the season, it needed something different to change course. Anyways, the lad made a pretty good debut against Sydney, well done 👍

    I'm told that he looks like craig sholl (late of Norf) whose nick name was knuckles, I think

    I think the fact that he had such an impressive debut is proof that the FD knew exactly what they were doing.

    Sparrow/Spaz is kinda frenetic, so make sense to me.

    I played footy with a bloke called Barry who's nick name was Spaz which wasn't so frenetic and rather unkind in alot of respects really.

    Both have in common that they were absolute club legends, respected by all for the people they are and real heart and soul type of players that would put their body on the line and give every ounce of energy to the team and I think that's the part that matters most.

    Perhaps you are correct, but without a time machine, we will never know 😁

    Totally agree. Very similar. I think it’s the agility he shows and confidence

    Ginbey from West Coast looks like a tackling machine as well. 26 already!

    Can I ask why he didn't get the rising star nomination? He's only in his second year isn't he? I just thought kicking 3 goals to help your team win would be better than the west coast guy who got 20 disposals and played in a team that got thrashed.

    Nothing against him but midfielders get everything

    I was surprised too dees189227, thought most weeks a game like that would bank it.

    I liked Ginbey's game in the Derby though and I think it was a reward for his first 3 weeks of good work.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
