Yeh I agree with submitting a list of new names, or removing a bunch of the current doozy's we get in there.

I'm a fairly cultured chap, but I don't believe that so many white australian children are named after alphabet soup spillages.... it seems the ratio of long and unpronouncable "unaustralian" names has gotten out of hand.

Also, THIS!!!
@I'd pay some money to buy a Bainsy...
...so I could bench him until he turned 40, ignoring Bainsy's please to sell him at some ridicluous price! lol


lol the only problem is you run the risk of that player trying to digit all your other players.....


lol

Just wondering if anyone in their drafts got any of the following names that were added in the last season.

Wolf
Zyler
Fanny
Leeroy
Coach
Bobby
Bevers
Bryce
Sid
Koop
Fishy
Cat
Matty
Rob
Brooksy
Johnno
Sundae
Niko
Iwen
Shoei
Yoda
Llama
Zviad

I drafted a Rob. There was a Niko in II.3. Both of these could have been pre-existing names.

The aussie names are absolutely atrocious!

Can we please do something about it for season 25??

Id be happy to help put a list of appropriate names together, and im sure there would be alot more managers that would contribute. Who do we have to get to action on this?

FYI my draftees were Fred Johnson (love it, nickname is massive), Long Tingkang (nickname export) and Hunter Costigan (meh, ill fire him one day- let him put the ball in the basket first.) But the names ive been reading are painful!

The thing that gets me is the guys with decent names usually suck. I have 2 of my draftees still.


Tom Astley - only kept as on one will buy him..... is ok for scrims

Tandavapriya Kaicker - is the good one.
