I miss Full Cream

Why,? He has a physicality of a cream puff.

Would've kept Verrall.

 

[Topkent]

just barrack and support. No need to yell out dumb, bogan stuff that makes 0 sense. Like 'roooo'. If anything it sounds like a pay out because we're yelling out Nick Riewoldt's nickname, a guy who was on of the best marks in history.

Whenever I hear 'rooooo' I slouch down in my chair a bit. it's just cringe.

Are we going to call Harry Sharp 'robbo' from now on? Harry Sharp's initials are H.S. H.S stands for Herald Sun. Mark Robinson used to work for the Herald Sun. Robinson's nickname was Robbo. That's how simple, loose and unintelligent some of the nicknames are like 'Roo'.

And I think players need to reach a certain level before being given a nickname. like 'jibber' for Jack billings and Jeffo for Matt Jefferson, for real? Become an afl calibre player first before earning a respectful nickname.

I don't reckon you've ever had a friend in your life. Shit nicknames in young blokes in Australia is a way of life.

 

[mrmonkey]

Pretty sure Matt Jefferson is 'magician' definitely a well earnt nick name

whats your thoughts on the duke nickname then?

 

[danster168]

nah. like it doesn't in anyway capture him or his name or game style or personality. Like you could just call him 'the knot' and it would have the same level of connection to his name.

Nicknames I approve of are Fritta, Bowser, Gawny, TMac and Kozzie. Just standard. Anything else is just too try-hard.

Lever and Rick is just dumb. vfl calibre players don't get nicknames. if anything he should be called Kylie for his spinning around meme. At least that captures his career perfectly. That is something I would approve of.

I'm being facetious.

 

[netslave]

good to see Ooze got another couple of years at the Tigers, pity we couldnt keep him around.

Eh, I think it's good we've gotten someone from the outside to coach after Goody.

Need Danster to start a thread on approved nicknames.

 

[mrmonkey]

The Saad one is just a call back to Ang Cristou. I don't mind it, just some fun at Carlton games. Also Saad has had a decent career and definitely worthy of the call.

 

[Toump Ass]

I think it's fantastic, personally. I love it. Really hope the channel 7 crew can capture Dan leaning over the barriers screaming "YOU HAVEN'T EVEN EARNED A NICKNAME YET HARVEY LANGFORD!!!" when the season rolls on.

A True™ Melbourne supporter should always address a player by their full name and title.

90% of his kicks are 15m chip passes. It's one of my big cringes in footy. A big 'woof' on a chip pass. awks

Eh let them have their fun.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Not gonna lie, Sadd would shit me. He looks elite but turns the ball over as much as Salem and is just as guilty of the dinky kick

That said, AFL is entertainment and a game. Yeah it might and does seem cringe from their supporter group, but they're entitled to have a bit of fun when they pay to come through the gate. It's just a game, who cares what a bunch of opposition supporters do. As long as they're enjoying themselves rather hurling cans and insults that cross the line at players then it's fine, who cares?

 

[mrmonkey]

I remember in the early 2000s the tigers had the roar metre, the doggies had that doggies doggies doggies woof woof woof chant on the speakers and hawthorn had their mascot jumping up and down with fireworks in the background all cringe shit, but yeah if the fans enjoy it so be it. Having said that does any fan truly love #demonspirit.
