Heard a couple of names out there today, 5/1/2025.

Verrall, fish

JVR, rooter

Hore, budge

 

Xavier Lindsay — spreadsheet?

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...

I thought he should of been nicknamed “Crowded”

Halfway and crowded are great but too long.
Need something short and punchy, maybe:

Frat or Tree ?

Dog is in use. Out is too difficult.

Just saw a reference to Spare

possibly just overlooked or forgotten, but who is spare?

I assumed he just mis typed Spargo.

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

Other than Disco it's a pretty tame list of nicknames.  They need to lift 😂

 

Also - am i the only one who still thinks of Spargo as Spargy-Pants and/or Charleston? 😂

I'm a little surprised that our #27 isn't nicknamed "Dirty".

It’s a bit touchy as we have two Hores in our house. lol.!!

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

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. Soz DD 😭

Is that right, 👻? 🤗. Or are usernames different than nicknames?

Wow, there's some highly imaginative ones in there hey!

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.

Oh well.  Poor old Smacca can't take a break though eh

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?

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.

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.


I like Nutbush for turner.

Happy to claim that Harvey Langford doesn't mind "The Bison" or just "Bison" as a nickname. 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.

I’ve heard the boys call Jack “Hendo”

Chin is Chin always. Idk where “Google” comes from.

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

Wonderful to hear!

Harvey "Bison" Langford it is! 😁

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
