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.

Send me a PM with any changes you would like me to make.

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. 

'Filthy'

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
