Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,690 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Forgive me, all, as I briefly hijack this thread. It is one of the furthest of the current 'Recent Topics', on the front page of 'Land, from footy news and talk as @Demonland has rightly advised me is what we all most often come here for. I just wanted to let interested 'Landers (if any?!) know I've started a thread in the 'General Discussion' forum, away from disrupting footy discourse here, called 'CONUNDRUM CORNER'. It's for puzzles that will continue the occasional series started and so thoroughly maintained by @Demonstone these last 4 years, with a little bit of help from his friends. You won't see when there are recent posts there, so, creators and solvers, head on over there occasionally to see what's going down/up/around. We now return to normal transmission... 1 1 Quote

They need to lift 😂 Also - am i the only one who still thinks of Spargo as Spargy-Pants and/or Charleston? 😂 Edited February 5 by deegirl 2 1 Quote
Demonstone 23,573 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I'm a little surprised that our #27 isn't nicknamed "Dirty". 3 Quote

I'm thinking Spare could be a good one for anyone with the name Harry, given the Prince Harry reference of spare. 4 Quote

If it’s any consolation Shane actually likes “Smacca” but that counts for nothing because it’s not up to the player to give himself a nickname, and once they are given a nickname, it’s set in stone.

Mainly thinking of one's like Jed, Will, Marty, Luker. I had TC as one of my nicknames back in the day and another good mate of nine was an AJ. Also played with a Spaz and I'm betting there are a few of them getting around. Must say, I like Tom Fullarton's one and Ricky Mentha's one isn't bad either and love the subtle nod to Kynan's old man. I did play with a few good ones like Captain Bilko, a couple of Turtles a Dumbo and a bloke we referred to as Car City (had a bit of a lazy eye) a few more like that would be good.

Supreme_Demon 4,141 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Dunno why, but I liked it way back in the 1990s when Rex Hunt on the radio used to give various players all sorts of nicknames. Jeff Farmer was "The Wizard" or the "Primary Producer" and David Neitz was "Neita" or "Nice and Neitz". I could make up a few nicknames. But it all depends if they catch on? I like "The Bull" or "The Bison" for Harvey Langford. Just because he already has quite a physical presence. Xavier Lindsay "The Spreadsheet" is quite clever as has been previously suggested. I know Steven May gets "Frophies" from a couple of years ago. As for any others, I guess we shall wait and see when the season starts? 3 1 Quote

Can't wait to see how he goes when he gets his chance the real stuff starts, but going off all indications so far, I recon The Bull would be a great nickname for him. Just as a side note, yeah the players might have their own nicknames for what they call their team mates, but doesn't mean us supporters can't have our own for them as well. If the two align, then great, but who's to say if supporters and the media start referring to them as a particular nickname the players wouldn't adopt that themselves too, if it's a good one. 3 Quote
Go Ds 335 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Tom Campbell is TC? Not very original. I'm sure many of us remember Tony Campbell. He was probably the emergency in the 1988 grand final team and had such a pained look 2 days beforehand at training as some of the general public offered well-meaning platitudes re his disappointing news. You'd never guess his nickname. 2 1 Quote

Whether it catches on we shall see? Apparently online it says Kade Chandler's nickname is "Google"?! I have never heard of him being called that before?! It's always been "Chin". With Jack Henderson coming on board to the Demons, I guess the logical nicknames are "Hendo" or "Henders". Otherwise, something unique like "The Hamster" or "The Ferret" perhaps? Because he is small and quick. However, he may have a better nickname from his Werribee teammates. 1 Quote

And again SD, it’s not that Harvey doesn’t mind Bison, nor does he like it: he LOVES it, but not in a big-headed way, more so a flattered and honoured way. True story 1 1 1 Quote
