The players should be getting this one into T Mac:

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 02: Lachlan McAndrew of the Swans and Thomas McDonald of the Demons compete in a ruck contest during the 2023 VFL Round 02 match between the Casey Demons and the Sydney Swans at Casey Fields on April 2, 2023 in Melbourne, Australia.

Sited in this article on Fox Footy https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-ssp-2025-league-to-reopen-supplemental-selection-period-after-jagga-smith-acl-injury-at-carlton-blues-adelaide-crows-sign-lachlan-mcandrew/news-story/2f031617399ec84d3560ff297181e067

 Perhaps there could be a play on it a bit and start calling him 'The Tank Engine"!

 

Not sure I've ever seen him refered to a Thomas before.

Are you doubting Thomas?

In the event that we sign up Jai Culley, I suggest that we give him the nickname "Tom".

I'm hoping he regularly does the unbelievable.

Then he'll earn 'Free'

 

Say 'em together, quickly...

Middle name Stephen, or Sam, or Sean, or some such? Surely!

Yes, I’ve gone ahead and changed Harves to Bison but only because last night Jeffo asked me if I’d like him to spread the word to the whole group and of course I said yes. Therefore I’m confident it will stick. 😁

Excuse my ignorance, but will Bison be a first DL initiated player-nickname?

This is likely the first fully DL initiated case but there is one other semi-DL initiated one, that being Jibba for Jack Billings.

What happened was, this time last year our awesome DA seamstress was unpicking a handheld cloth banner which said “Tap Brothers” (remember that particular five minutes in history 😅) and she said I could choose new wording and always get first dibs on the banner. I wanted Jack to feel welcome so I asked for “Jibba 14” Then I found out the boys were actually calling him “Jabba” not “Jibba” and I told him about it. He said, “well, it looks like that’s my new nickname.”

Cut to last night and there was me, Harvey and Jibba (and a couple of others) chatting when Jeffo joins us and brings up the subject of Bison. Jeffo probably wanted to make sure Harvey likes it before telling all the boys about it. Harvey was a little embarrassed to admit he likes it and he was quick to add, “I didn’t suggest it, though” and he nods towards me. Jibba says, “All good, she made mine up, too.” LOL because Jibba isn’t a compliment like Bison is. 😅

It's all about the fabric and the culture of Australian Rules Football.

Gotta have your nicknames! 😁

Even better when there's a bit of a background story behind them.

Love it! Love how he secretly loves it haha.

If you and DL want the credit we will have to call him 'Bison GW et. al 2025', of course 'Bison' for short, might make him sound like a discovered comet but hey, credit where credit is due.

The name was actually suggested by @Supreme_Demon so he should get the credit. TBH I didn’t think it would take off, I mentioned it to Harvey and he was instantly keen (probs because no one else was around 😅).

I have never given a Demons player their own nickname before. We shall see if it catches on with his teammates I guess?

I think "The Bison" suits Harvey Langford due to his strength and determination. He looks like the type of player who is ultra competitive and hates losing too.

I am sure fans have suggested nicknames for Demons players before, but I do agree that it's usually teammates who choose them.  I never had any choice in the nickname I was given when I played footy. 🤣

Obviously, commentators (such as Rex Hunt back in the 1990s and Brian Taylor in recent times) choose nicknames for players too, but whether or not they are taken up by teammates is another matter altogether.

Nevertheless, I would be quite pleased if Brian Taylor or Bruce McAvaney started calling Harvey Langford "The Bison" but we shall have to wait for the AFL season to  properly begin and Harvey also needs to earn his spot in the team.

Some pretty good ones there.

Here are my suggestions for possible nicknames for those players who don't seem to have them...yet?

Andy Moniz-Wakefield - Monza, Mozza, Mozzy, Wakey, The Hyphen.

Luke Kentfield - Kents, Kento, Kenta, The Pumpkin.

Jed Adams - Addz, Addo, Gomez, Fester, Lurch (a few Addams Family references there).

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
