quality, thanks @Ghostwriter

nicknames that i and my friendly cohort have and will continue to use in much love and affection:

• mcvee = chris
• spargo = dj shtiboi
• melksham = milkshake
• mcdonald = plugger
• mentha = jake
• woewodin = woey 2.0

and whenever milkshake has a shot on goal...

Perhaps this should be pinned so those unsure of nicknames can find them easily.

Thanks Gw. Training reports just became far easier to understand! 
I now know who Knuckles actually is😀!

@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. 

I thought that Judd McVee's nickname was knuckle. Singular.

Nah definitely Knuckles plural. 

Good stuff thanks.

how cool to be called “X” whilst Jed does show a certain lack of imagination!

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?

You’re a one-man campaigner for the Dirk thing, Layz. I admire your resolve. 😅

Gussy was the resident nickname creator and now that he’s no longer doing so it really shows. 😢

The best thing about being a one-man campaigner is I can be my own boss.

You should be banned from this thread.

Please add The Duke beside Windsor's name. I just realised 'post-post' that that's who it refers to, and I saw it on here months ago too.

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.

We miss him :(

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.
