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).

  • 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.
