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.

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).

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
