Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

[Samsquanch]

And they were from just the one family.

I worked with a bloke named Ed, and he had two brothers, Ed and Ed (Edward, Edwin and Edgar). Apparently, their mother liked the name Ed.

When there was trouble she'd stand at the back door and scream out, Ed! None of them knew which one was getting the kick up the arse.

I went to training on Saturday morning in the rain.

Jackson Archer and Colby McKearcher stayed out for thirty minutes after training ended doing a boundary line pocket set-shot competition against each other.

They were fiercely bantering each other and Colby appeared to have won the game.

I thought it was a good sign.

Went to school with a guy whose name was Mohammad Mohammad Mohammad Mohammad.

Parents loved a bit of repetition.

 

[KiwiRoo]

Got a mate with the surname of Shakespeare and its a family tradition that the first son is called William

so his dad is Bill, his older brother is Willy and his nephew is Will

It’s December and where and what is going on with the Camp?

 

[DuckYeah]

Who was the best group of names?

Lukes?
Daniels?
Bens?
Bills?
Jacks?

Im leaning on the group of Daniels, its hard to skip Cunners but Wells, Harris, Pratt and Motlop are a far superior group. I couldn’t comment on the Bills or Jacks either. But some of you fossils probably grew up around the corner from em

Someone posted here a while ago about a meet and greet with the club in qld on 14 dec so would assume the camp starts either next week or on the weekend of the 14th up to the Xmas break

Got training in Arden street tomorrow and Saturday

The Waynes are in contention and there are only 3 of them that really stick out.

Carey, Schwass, Schimma.

Given their top end they would probably be hard to beat.

 

[Tiberius]

Probably already been answered but I'll check it out after work.

In terms of unique names - the only person to play AFL with that given name since 2000 I can think of
Atu Bosenavulagi
Bigoa Nyuon
Brynn Teakle
Digby Morrell
Djaran Whyman
Farren Ray
Kyron Hayden
Majak Daw
Marley Williams
Phoenix Spicer (there's a Phoenix on GWS's list but he hasn't played yet)
Saverio Rocca
Tarryn Thomas
Winston Abrahams

With just a quick look, I might be wrong with some of those and there's probably more.

Shadeau Brain?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Shadeau Brain?

Famous North melbourne man Shadeau Brain

 

[Tiberius]

Famous North melbourne mane Shadeau Brain

I may have misunderstood the post. It's still a stupid name though.

 

[King Corey]

Shadeau Brain?

I maintain that would be a great name for a death metal band.

 

[king of the road]

Or Blood Fart.

You’re right. The 3 waynes would knock off all of them combined in a half court game

So interestingly those three are the only Waynes that have played for us.

numbers 1 & 7 in our top 150 players, Schwatta would also have to be up there in the rankings too but I can't find (in my very cursory look) a the full list outside of the top 10 of the 150 players for North.

 

[Rooboys Rool]

I hope KKK weren't named across the one line.

 

[Skarrz]

Jesus Christ this names shit is like when you guys discovered chat gpt last year, take it to another thread where we don’t have to scroll through it read pre season training reports ffs

 

[Devington]

Not many Skarrz on the list over the years.

When I went last week, McKercher was still out there kicking with Teakle when everyone else had gone in.

I think only the top 10 were ranked, but Schwatta was obviously included in the 1980-99 cohort

Heard his favourite hip hop track was Mo Money Mo Problems.

Schwatta significantly underrated it seems. He was an outright gun.

McKercher in 10 years time will be the Hodge of our club driving us through those back to back Finals
