[oogac]

If you are named Cheynee Stiller you really have only one open career path - pr0n.

Or a pool cleaner . . .

[bomberz08]

some one from port something cockshell

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Sharrod Wellingham

Obvious how he was gonna get that name; Sharron for a girl, Jarrad for a guy.

Obviously they weren't sure what he was when they got him.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Aren't the ruckman in AFL a funny lot;

Fraser Ryder Jolly White Cox

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I doubt there was ever such a player, certainly cant recall Port drafting anyone by that name.

There is such a player (Braun Bush) and up until recently he was playing for waratahs in the NTFL. He was never on the Power list as far as I know but may have spent time with the magpies in the SANFL.

 

[i_love_the_hoff]

some one from port something cockshell

His name is Adam cockshell and COCKSHELL is pronounced Co- shell.

And yea.... i reckon that Roughhead and Johncock are the weirdest names.

And maybe even our rookie Marlon Motlop

 

[ari18]

Sounds like a housing estate with a man-made lake in it, right on the outskirts of the metro area...



Not footy, but I used to live in Singapore and a few names we came across that gave us a laugh:

Lo Hung Kok

Chu Long Kok

Kok Chin

Shi Ting


And a shop we used to drive past called "Fook Mee".



I kid you not.

bahahaha.

Thats kinda sad

 

[clogwearer]

I still remember listening to a Collingwood game on the radio where I was sure I heard Rex announce that "Rupert The Bear is lining up on the wing"...thought the Pies were getting mighty creative with their list that day.

 

[facemaker]

Craig Nettlebeck. Considering his talents on the field just replace the beck with **** and his surname becomes more apt and amusing.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I hear Collingwood will be drafting this person next year. Should nicely complement Cox, Dick, Wood and Goldsack.

 

[7zark7]

John Ironmonger

 

[Port_GW]

There is such a player (Braun Bush) and up until recently he was playing for waratahs in the NTFL. He was never on the Power list as far as I know but may have spent time with the magpies in the SANFL.

Yeah more than likely SANFL reserves, certainly no one by that name drafted by Port's AFL side as far as i know. A name like that would stand out too.

 

[Cheer Squad mbr]

Here's an example of how commentators can put a funny name to use!

[Johnson#26]

His name is Adam cockshell and COCKSHELL is pronounced Co- shell.

Haha. I remember when Sam Newman tried arguing with Lyon over the pronunciation of his name on TFS.

Will Sangster.

 

[DKS17]

Garrick Ibbotson from Freo

 

[JDC!]

Sharrod Wellingham

Obvious how he was gonna get that name; Sharron for a girl, Jarrad for a guy.

Obviously they weren't sure what he was when they got him.

They should have named him Jarryn in that case.

 

[bloods01]

Roughead, Jarred

Poor bastard.

And he does have a Rough Head

 

[X_box_X]

Khan Haretuku should have had a nomination by now, surely.

 

[Crows4Flag]

A guy in the AIS acadmy called STEELE SIDEBOTTOM

 

[krisholio14]

Clint Bizzell.

For shiz yo.

A few others I always liked...

Ramsay Bogunovich
Peter Tossoll
Joe Radojevic
Gordon Sumner
Lee Murnane

and my current favorite would have to be Rhett Biglands (or is that Big Wetlands?)

Sounds like a housing estate with a man-made lake in it, right on the outskirts of the metro area...

Did you also meet Sum Dum heck?

I still call him 'Rupert the Bearass' after all these years.

 

[sherrinorburley]

A guy in the AIS acadmy called STEELE SIDEBOTTOM

Probably related to Gary & Allan Sidebottom, both played for Swan Districts in the WAFL a few years back. Archie Duda was a classic, full forward for East Perth. Dick Lovegrove played for Claremont in the 1920's...not AFL granted, but funny.

 

[thatswhatimtalkinabout]

Wilfred (Chicken) Smallhorn would have been a hit with the ladies.

 

[BK Eaglesfan]

Going outside the AFL again, and back a few years, a well known East Fremantle premiership player is Wilson Onions.
