@hardtack

According to Blake Howes himself on Ben Gibson's podcast he's been dubbed Halfway Howes for the past 18 months 

Not entirely unhappy with it

 

Gus Brayshaw the originator

'Filthy'

Played local footy with a bloke first name Phil who answered to that nickname. 

He was also known as Car City.  Had a kind of wonky eye - if you remeber the advertisement, you'll get the reference! 🤪

A few I would like to see

Jed Adams - Don (get smart actor)

Caleb Windsor - 5 Star as in 5 star Windsor Hotel

Charlie Spargo - I actually thought his nickname was Paul (source Gus and Gawny podcat)

Marty Hore - Lazarus

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

Yeah, but in the absence of a genuine player attributed nick name, then I think the supporter group should step in.  Even if they have a somewhat vanilla existing one, then I think the tribe should impose something with a bit more punch.

A few starting suggestions:

Jed Adams - Lurch

Marty Hore - a part of me laughs at Dirty, but perhaps these days it's not quite appropriate these days, so perhaps McFly could be another option.  Kind of suits his back story getting de-listed and re-listed Back to The Future.

Earl Spalding - The Duke / Duke

Nobody at the Club calls Caleb Duke/the Duke. His nickname is ‘Leb’ and that’s what everyone calls him.

So (and said in the most positive of senses ❤️), a shared heritage with Salo?

On that tack, then, with nods to both another famous House and to an ageless star (C. Eastwood in his first (?TV) role)...

Crowdy?

Some updates, @hardtack!

Tom Fularton - Cream

Jack Billings - Jibba, JB, Jubba

 Caleb Windsor - Leb

Judd McVee’s official nickname is knuckles and I’ve heard the boys call him this. But today I heard “Juddy” being yelled out a lot, so I guess that qualifies too.

i forgot to ask Kynan Brown what the boys call him, so not sure if Pup is a thing.

Shane McAdam still nicknameless. 😭

Didn’t get a chance to talk with KFW or AMW, so for now they’re KFW and. AMW 🤷‍♀️

I get your point re the supporter group stepping in, but the issue I can see is that there’ll be numerous suggestions, some good, some not so good, so to avoid the list getting too cluttered, how do you decide what is acceptable?

I’ll add to my conundrum with these… For those old enough, Marty Hore’s nickname could be ‘Spin’ and Jed Adam’s’ could be ‘Uncle’ or even ‘Pugsley’.

It was also Phil Read’s (spelling?) nickname.

Umm...one small step further into the silliness?

Chicken and Mornay.

Haha, no one is that old, hardtack!

Suggestion for Blake Howes : “Crowded”. (Inspired by @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew).

But no one will ever beat this for a nickname . . .

Peter Everett called Grant Thomas 'Mini Bus'. Reckoned he was only half a coach.

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. 

We call Melky , Lord Melksham

The good ones stick, the not so good ones don't.

Does someone want to compile me a list of those that have stuck?  😉

I've always called Langdon, the Flying Dutchman. I have no idea if he's Dutch but he has some dutch vibes about him. 

I'm calling Judd McVee 'dirty' - as in 'dirt cheap'. Could get confusing with Marty back at the Club though.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
