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!!

Anyone who knows the nicknames of players without one below, please feel free to pass it on or mention it in the comments, for inclusion.

Jack Billings (14) - Jibba, JB, Jubba

Marty Hore doesn’t have a nickname? I have a few ideas I could pitch, but I think the best one is…

Martin. 

Verrall’s is ‘Anchorman’ 

Lachie Hunter is ‘Hunts’

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.

Are these, well, Verrall’s genuine, or made up by yourself? 😉


Not a particularly creative set of names. And now I've gone on the internet looking up creative nicknames and will have nightmares tonight.

Keep it simple. Keep. It. Simple.

I made up Will Verrall’s.

Nobody inside the club calls Melky by Milkshake. I think it might have been coined by the deebrief boys along with the equally embarrassing Spargypants. 

Matthew Jefferson is also nicknamed 'the magician'.

Tom Fullarton's nickname at the Lions was 'fullcream' however I have no confirmation that it has carried over to the dees .

 


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? 😮

Does #5 ever get 'Truck'?

friends of mine have specialised nicknames for some players...

judd mcvee - chris (although apparently he doesn't like it)

tom mcdonald - plugger (cos of his kickin action for goal and cos he can 'plug' any hole)

taj woewoedin - woey 2.0 (for obvious reasons)

ben brown - sideshow bob (cos of his former hairdo and the resemblance with a certain simpsons character)

 

Gussy was calling Jud, Knives McVee

Although it hasn't caught on (yet), I've been calling Matthew Jefferson 'Starship'.

You’re right. I added Milkshake because some folks on DL call him that. That’s the only time I hear it.

As for Spargo, you’re right again. Nobody calls him SpargiPants. Except for me… to his face. 😅 I greeted him with “how’re going, SpargiPants?!” a couple of weeks ago and he was chuffed. Well, the corners of his mouth turned upwards about a micron (one 1-thousandth of a millimeter) which by his standard means he’s deliriously happy. 😝

Knuckles is way better. Although neither nickname suits him imo. He’s sweetness personified. 

Jed Adams (26) - Adamsy

Kyan Farris-White (43) - Whitey

Tom Fullarton (33) - Fullartony

Marty Hore (27) - Horey

Lachie Hunter (12) - Huntery

Shane McAdam (23) - McAdamsy

Andy Moniz Wakefield (45) - Wakesy

Yay!

I have heard the players and coach refer to Viney as just VIN many times. Sounded funny to hear because he has just always been VINES to me. 

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

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
