How should we call the new recruit?

Now you've gone and confused me.

That's what I thought. I can't believe they don't know that sort of stuff or is that just a Tasmanian thing.

I noticed in one article that the boy of Thorpe's who went to Hawthorn was able to pinpoint that he was related to Brent Crosswell, Craig and Nick Davis(father's side) and Andy Lovell(mother's side) That's more like it.

But he's DOK not ROK. But then if you follow that, and call him DOKet, you could just move on to Shoppa!

I don't see much connection between ROC and DOC. Young Dan deserves his own nickname anyway. DOC is out - we already have a resident medical expert. I go for Mouse.

Definitely a Tasmanian thing, I mean, you do want to know who you are marrying, right?

Apart from the fact that they are 2nd cousins...

Yes.

If that were the case then the boys' parents would be first cousins and you'd reckon they'd know each other since they come from the same state...great grandads as brothers seems more likely.
