[The A Team Van]

Duryea... Doc

Nice list Moose! What's the story behind this one?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Not sure where the OP is getting his names from.

Only ever heard Duryea referred to as Doc.

I am pretty sure on the footy field when asking for a handball the players don't yell out Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeust ???? (shakes head)

Have also heard Lewis referred to as Taz (due to looking like Chris Tarrant), but that was a few years ago so maybe that is no longer in vogue; and Burgers as Silk.

I remember Ellis referring to Hale as Storm (from Hale Storm).

I've heard players refer to Franklin to me as Buddy, Bud and Franko.

My understanding is that Simpkin's nick name at the Cats was Joffa, although I have not heard him directly referred to as this or any other name.

Puopolo has been called Pops or Poppy and Shiels has been called Pup...

 

[Gene Simmons]

I have afew unique ones..

I have included my reason below each name..

8 Xavier Ellis - Zoe
(he looks like a lady I know, and her name is Zoe..similar face and hair style)
16 Isaac Smith - Slap Cheek
(when he started always had bright red cheeks during games)
20 David Hale -Depressed boy
(Everytime he takes a mark, he puts his head down like he feels really guilty for marking it and walks back on the mark to take his kick).. seriously just watch an example

Didn't mean to offend the nicknames police over here. I didn't claim they were official, the list is just what I call them.

Gold. Kicking myself for not knowing that one.

OP is talking about nicknames we may call our players, not exclusively the ones within the club the players give each other.

Anyway.

A couple of mine other than the usual ones
Roughead - ROUGHLINGTON
Franklin - FRANKLEFIN

I've put these in capitals because as I read over them all I can hear is myself shouting FRANKLEFIN! or ROUGHLINGTON! after one kicks a goal or does something worthy. Haha not sure where it started

 

[Hoogmeister]

Luke Lowden... Sticks

 

[Hodge is God]

I'm not very original, I do a Paul Roos and just put a Y at the end of each name e.g. Roughy, Lewy, Hodgey, Smithy.
