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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
