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!!

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.

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'

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
