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.!!!

    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...

    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...

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
