    @Ghostwriter Thanks for taking this on… I’d completely lost track of the original post that I put up at the beginning of last season (life got in the way).

    @Demonland Firstly, could this post be pinned for easy reference, and secondly, is there any way that Ghostwriter could be given permanent editing permission, so that updates to the original post don’t need to be made via yourself? (I think the Edit option is removed after 24(?) hours)

    Childish humour here but repeating Xavier Lindsays nickname quickly and consecutively as players do calling for the ball must sound a tad funny. @Ghostwriter have you heard it out loud?

    I would’ve heard it but never noticed. Now that you’ve said it I will undoubtedly notice and then never stop noticing 🤣 Handheld banner ideas abound!!!

    All good, hardtack. Changes/additions etc would be rare and if they had to be made I can just quote the OP and make the changes.

    Many thanks for this post. My ability to keep up with most of the player given nicknames over the past few years has seriously degraded! 

    Glad I'll no longer have to look like this when I read through the odd training report.

    Thanks, @Ghostwriter!

    This thread is a stark reminder of how pleasantly trivial, diverting and consuming Demonland can be 😄

    Do any of the names vary in the heat of match-day battle? TMac, for example, might be a bit of a mouthful?

    Does Clarry get Clazz much? (as used by Richo (*) in his interview, for example)

    Ditto Koz v. Kozzy/Kossie?

    Poor Harves had to take second best, eh? Ricky, though, hasn't been forced there by the 'unentitled' Rick.

    And, finally, we mourn the passing of the good old days: only 5 genuine 'nicknames' imagined by this Gen-something-or-other (and PC?) lot!

    (*) Perhaps a coaches' list, too, Ms Friendly Ghost?

    Excuse my ignorance, but where does a nickname of Dirk come from?  Dirk as in a type of dagger? Dirk Gently and His Holistic Detective Agency? Dirk Welham? Dirk Van Hartog? Dirk Nowitzki? Deadly Dirk? I needs ta know!

    Conversation I had with AJ at the Family Day on Monday at Casey Fields:

    Me - "I heard on the grapevine that your nickname up in Albury was Peaches"

    AJ - (look of surprise/amusement) "Yeah, it was.  How did you know that?"

    Me - "Friend of mine in the Demon Army from Albury told me".

    AJ - "Wow, nothing is hidden from you lot!!"  

    Genuinely lovely fellow.

    Didn't Gus give Blake Howes the nickname Halfway, as in Halfway Howes?  

    And I thought it was going to be Ed Langdon = Lingers, and Harvey Langford = Langers.

    I always thought it was in reference to Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog. Recall posts to that effect around his time of drafting/arrival.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
