Is it a pop culture reference? Because I don't speak jive.

You jive turkey.

Geni...talia. Put 'em together.

 

[ShanDog]

Wow.

I'll go uppercut myself.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

As you should

I don't know if this sounds a bit lame but maybe Menzel could be called Denzel ala Denzel Washington.

Reckon that's more appropriate for his brother.

 

[ShanDog]

Denzel and Tenzel.

[blue healer]

Not a big fan of nicknames, I much prefer to yell out "go number 5", then everyone knows who you're talking about.

I get irrationally annoyed by people calling out player first names...
Like "go Kade! Well done Marc!". For some reason it just really grinds my gears.

Remind me never to sit next to you and papa h.

"C'mon, Big Levi!"

So you agree that numbers are better?

The worst was when Simmo was growing his beard out and I was sitting behind two women who were name-checking his girlfriend as if they knew her intimately. Did my head in.

So you agree that numbers are better?

No, because then it sounds like you don't know who the players are.
Whatever happened to a good, old-fashioned last name? GO MURPHY, etc.

Whoops, caught out but I blame it on ageing eyes, they all look the same to me.

And what happens when we play the Bulldogs, everyone looks at you and asks "which one?".

Urban mythology says that clueless Redleg supporters called out "come on number eleven" even after Jim Stynes had played his 200th consecutive game in the number.

They can probably tell by my Carlton beanie and guernsey combo

They were doing good to see the number through tinted ski goggles.

 

[BigCountryBlue]

I reckon a better nickname for Cameron Wood would be 'knockon' .
Considering the position he plays and all... And of course his great love for disco

What happens to you when a player has a first name for a surname??? For example Dale Thomas......or even Kade Simpson!!

You just add an "O" as Kado or Dalo.

I don't mind using the standard nicknames like Daisy or Simmo...I just don't like the first name thing. No idea why
