I refuse to accept that Oliver Sestan's nickname is Ollie. That's just his name, surely.

I'm afraid anything more creative is too mentally taxing for your standard AFL player.

That's why Brodie Grundy had to leave. Players' brains were getting fried trying to work out how to ask for the ball.

You've got a Martyy, Andyy and Lachieie in there, too.

I can see a new career for you as a naming consultant to 18 clubs' leadership groups.

It's not that hard. The rule is simple: If the name ends in an 's' sound, you drop the 's' and add a 'y'; if it ends in a 'y' sound, you drop the 'y' and add an 's'. For all other names, add a 'y'.

I’ve heard other players call him Ollie. But earlier in this thread someone said they’d heard teammates call him Sesso

The subset of your 'y' rules, @La Dee-vina Comedia is, for the more refined clubs, 'o'.

Are these nicknames in the OP confirmed as official nicknames and not just fan assumed nicknames?

A mixture of both, really. Mainly official but with (for eg) BBB, Iv’e heard the players call him Benny at training. Fans call him BBB… when writing. When we cheer him on we call him Benny.

My mistake. If the name ends in 's', just add a 'y'. Apologies for any confusion.

I've always been amused that our Viney becomes "Vines" and Port Adelaide's Wines becomes "Winesy"

I was silly enough to involuntarily volunteer myself to put up the bones of what will hopefully one day become something useful, on this forum. Yes, a comprehensive list of the nicknames of those players who occupy a position in the 2024 Players List. I’d like to see this pinned to the top of the forum, and not just for this year, but to go on for years to come.

I cannot take all of the credit for this (in fact, I can take very little credit), as the list that has passed to me for the compilation of this final list, was created by the hard work of @WalkingCivilWar … I have rearranged it to be in alphabetical order and added the players numbers in brackets next to each name. EZPZ. Thanks WCW!!

Thanks, @hardtack!

Dem bones (dem bones, dem dry bones 🎶) could be enhanced - calling all 'Landers, not just you 🙂 - by signifying which are the names the boys use for eachother and which are 'ours', e.g. BBB, I think?

And who'll step up with a girls list? 😮

Yes, the idea of this list, is to provide the established nicknames and more particularly, a list of nicknames that the players themselves actually use or have brought into the club with them.

This is NOT meant to be used as a place for us, Demonlanders, to invent new nicknames for the players and record them.

Thanks DD… are these all nicknames used by the players? I trying to avoid adding those name made up by us.

Also @Demonland, I’m sorry to bother you again, but how can I edit my original post. This is probably my only real issue with this site… the fact that Edit is switched off within the first few hours of posting, and secondly the lack of ability to delete a post.

All of them accept Spargo (i think the first one is Picket's nick lol) and Woey's which is my suggestion (Woey Jnr.  ... Joey)

Some are of course just minor spelling tweak suggestions!

We have a huge Marty Hore fan in the DA. She has a jumper with his number on the back and above the number is the word ‘Dirty’ making it Dirty Hore, with a silent W. 😅 idk if Dirty is his nickname, but it’s funny.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
