The most important part of draft day...

[John]

What's a rerun?

Me watching all the replays of our G/F wins.

What's a rerun?

The act of popping down to your local in Toowoong for a quiet beverage.

 

[Viceregal]

Or me channeling Back to the Future

 

[Morgs_]

 

[joshhem]

Bumpity bump bump bump...

All these Josh's. Somethings gotta give.

 

[POBT]

Makes up for the loss of Jonathan, Joel and Jack.

 

[Haso]

I'd like to see us draft a Jedidiah.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Jaden McGrath is apparently known by the nickname of "Sparra". Whether that takes hold at the club, we will see.

 

[whatboutbob]

Boys have really gotta sort out the nicknames. Is already bloody confusing watching training.

eg convo with Morgs_ last week.

Morgs: "Gee, Robbo's cracking in hard!"
Me: "I was watching the other end of the ground. You talking about MRobbo, or NRobbo?"
Morgs: "NRobbo"
Me: "MRobbo?"
Morgs: "Nah, NRobbo. Nick."
Me: "Ah. Right. Geeze, lovely kick from Beams."
Morgs: "Which Beams?"
Me: "Dayne. Gee, Lewie's knee doesn't sound great."
Morgs: "Really? He's running just fine...?"
Me: Huh? Oh, nah...Squizzy, not Leuie. Over there.
Morgs: Ah. Gotcha. Hrmm...Hanley's gotta bulk up a bit, doesn't he?"
Me: "Yes, yes he does. Hang on...oh, sod it, never mind."
<long pause>
Morgs: Josh is running well...

 

[Tairy Greene]

Idiots.

 

[Skoob]

Good opportunity to swot up on those jumper numbers.

 

[Mr Ripper]

PP McGuinness.

 

[Toffee Lion]

How about just Guinness?

We already have Beams and Bundy as well.

 

[Skoob]

While I'm in the needy/askin' mood, for the peeps attending training, have you heard/worked out who's being called what?

 

[Mr Ripper]

Josh McGuinness is getting J-Mac, believe it or not.

 

[Skoob]

Josh McGuinness is getting J-Mac, believe it or not.

Which of our 'Oscar Wildes" came up with that?
It's alright, simple is good, easy to remember.

 

[Morgs_]

Jaden McGrath goes by Sparra I believe. No idea why.

Watts is getting Watto. Ugh. That's all I can think of at the moment.

Glen McGrath was pigeon so Jaden McGrath is sparrow?

 

[Morgs_]

Glen McGrath was pigeon so Jaden McGrath is sparrow?

Perhaps, whatboutbob and I think it may have something to do with his slight frame as well.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Compared with McGrath, McGuinness would have to be a Big Mac I suppose.

 

[Skoob]

Bell: Bello
Bastinac: Bastio
Jarrad Jansen: Janso
Josh Walker: Walko
Josh Schache: Schacho
Eric Hipwood : Hipo
Ben Keays : Keayso
Rhys Mathieson: Mathio
Sam Skinner: Skinno

That's what it'll probably end up like...

 

[Zammit]

Surely Seymour suits Sam Skinner

 

[blackers]

Surely if Skinner drops a mark, you'd have to yell "SKINNER!" in a Supernintendo Chalmers voice.

 

[Ironmonger]

They asked a lot of the draftees who the biggest sledger was in their draft group, and Rhys Mathieson's name came up a lot.

I think he might be most commonly called 'Shut Up'.
