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! 😁

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
