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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
