How do Demon fans feel about Daniel Turner being given Michael Roach's famous nickname of "Disco"?

There have been many, many incidences of two or more players having the same nickname.

It's really not anything worth being angry or upset about IMO.

I’m happy with any nicknames given to our players, as long as they’re given/used by teammates.

False equivalence here. One is a nickname based on personality, no problem. Or a physical characteristic like red hair., bluey.

One is a nickname based on deeds not yet achieved. Problem. The same if his nickname was the GOAT. Laughable.

Jeff Farmer was nicknamed "The Wizard" before we even recruited him, just the same as the Hawthorn kid.

I wasn’t aware of that, just as well that he lived up to it over his career, although I still remember early in his career when he took that mark in the goal square and hand balled it into Gary Lyon, much to his dismay. Lol.!!!

Well I wasn't aware of that as well. There you go.

Watched the replay and one thing that stood out to me is how Kozzie quickly closes in to tackle someone. 

He could be 20 m away and a player may think he has eons to move but suddenly he's all over them.

Love it

Have to say I liked Gary Lyon making that point on On the Couch, to get a title like "the Wizard" you gotta earn it through doing things that no one else in the comp can do. Right now he's no more of a wizard than Windsor. 

Lyon made the point softly saying, "he will be an exciting player to watch as he grows, but he is no wizard".

If the new 'Wizard' kicks 9 in a half, I'll think about calling him 'The Wizard'... nah, probably won't call him that anyway...

And Fritta did win MOTY for round 3!!!

 

Also, you know who luvs him a Dees goal? This guy, that’s who…

This was after Kozzie’s goal five minutes into the 2nd. But it could’ve been after any of our goals. When Dave’s up our end we give him sooooo much love. Ever the professional, he never reacts. but we know he hears us. 🥰

To be frank, he looks pretty happy after most goals by any team, but I always enjoy him with ours. 

Given the ARC nonsense these days, an umpire would be happy with any decision which is clear enough that they don't have to ask for a review to increase cryto's advertising time.  You know, at least a metre or two from the post or a metre over the line.

Yes, his resting face is a smile. But with the addition of a little twinkle in his eye when it’s our goal. 😁

Been meaning to post something like this for a while, W.

So thanks for finally getting it out there.

And, with D'land's current preoccupation with nicknames, is 'Twinkle-eye' appropriate, then, for David?

Yep that pretty much sums the media up, they have to have a target in the off-season to sell papers and get clicks. People like Corns have to make bold, stupid, and totally unhelpful comments like Oliver might never play again (seriously he should put his hand up and apologise for that). They circled and hoped for us to have a slow start, we lost to the swans and their mouths were frothing. But now two good wins have them off our back and they've gotta acquire a new target. 

And they have...

I’m happy with that!
