I like Froggy J personally. Honours the past whilst sounding cool af.
 
He is already Flash in my house. Basically from when he kicked a goal in the first minute of the practice match against the Saints, the commentators said "Quick as a flash" when he crumbed the ball and snapped it through.

And to be pedantic, a baby Frog is a froglet. Tadpole comes before that. Could have called him Tadpole as a junior and now Froglet but I think that leaf has sailed. C'mon, Flash sounds so much better.

Seems like he is going to be a great player although that is obviously secondary to his nickname.

Flash was his uncle's nickname

Tadpole just indicates that his dad is Froggy. It's not like he's going to suddenly be called Frog once he hits 100 games or something

Why don’t we call him Al? As in Alwyn, but without the ‘Wyn’ bit. You could call him Wyn, without the ‘Al’ bit but that’s a bit longer and becomes a mouthful to be honest.

Sproggy imo

So the club is doing the official what-do-we-name-him poll?

It's a spy cam video of Alwyn senior at the game, watching him react to Alwyn junior's attempts at goal and then his first goal. Taken from what seems to be across the aisle with full sound and everything, can hear what they're saying.

As far as the club is concerned they seem to be calling both boys by their first names which is... utterly boring

Yeah but I’d expect parents to call the kids mostly by their names unless they have a childhood nickname (Walla, Bomber etc)

I meant the players and the club media staff, I don’t think Froggy used a name at all
 
Essendon's version of Shai Bolton. The hands above the head are quickly improving
