Meltdown “The Wizard”

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

So you created a thread just to bash a player for having an unoriginal nickname? Yes he ducks etc, but can't deny he's a brilliant player. Farmer was too, but he's retired now, let the fans etc have fun with their dorky wizard hats, it's not hurting anyone.
Kako is better

You know what is incredibly lame?

Commentators and a few other randoms trying to give some mediocre Hawthorne player the nickname “The Wizard”

I don’t even like Melbourne, but for God’s sake Jeff Farmer isn’t even dead yet (in fact he’s apparently only 47)

Here’s a bit of advice to you Hawthorne dude whatever your name is – how bout you go out and earn your own nick name instead of trying to claim someone else’s

Not imaginative enough to come up with an original name of your own? I think we should be able to help you out

How about “The Brown Smear”

I like that

It has a ring to it
Each generation has a Wizard. He's clearly going to be this ones.
 
Ironic he’s being tall-poppied (don’t you think?).
Hasn’t yet taken a hanger of the Capper mould, but might one day. Needs to put his footy shorts in the dryer perhaps.
 
Mark Ricciuto and Nick Riewoldt were both nicknamed "Roo".
Overlapping nicknames is just something that happens.
They should have been made to fight to the death

Just like with racehorses, duplicate names should be banned

Two players with the same nickname name shows a lamentable lack of imagination

Correct
 
Hewitt just did a Nick Watson and I reckon we will hear crickets. Let's see if people are consistent or is this just a Hawthorn bashing thread.
Well, it was intended as a Hawthorn bashing thread

But I’m sure folks won’t mind if we allow a bit of blues bashing as well

(Also, Essendon – we can’t have a ducking thread without having a few dive bombers in here)

When most people hear his nick name they’re going to think about someone else
So? People share nicknames all the time. Good to keep the name alive so people don't forget those who came before.

Farmer was no wizard.

Ask his missus

I'm sure she didn't enjoy his fists of fury
