WAFL Nicknames,

Falcons,Royals, Thunder, Sharks are the only non AFL nicknames.

Others I have heard- Southerners.

Of those, Sharks is the only nickname which I've noticed in use two or more times here in Vic.

Onyer B.B. ... though what I was actually trying to compare were the more common non-AFL nicknames, not the least common.

Of course there are nicknames like United and the Combine, emphasising previous mergers, there are a few teams called the Cobras, (Richmond Centrals, Kilsyth amd Canterbury and the old V.F.A. team Camberwell) as well

Here in the SANFL there are a four clubs which use some of the less-used nicknames:

West Adelaide Bloods, South Adelaide Panthers, Norwood Redlegs, North Adelaide Roosters and Woodville Warriors which is now merged with West Torrens. Blighty played with Woodville!

I know the VFL has some clubs with some pretty unusual nicknames.

Vultures, Devils, Roosters, Bulldogs, Vikings, Cobras, Panthers, Sea-Hawks, Mavericks .... just to name a few local ones here in Brisbane.

The Bullants (Preston), the Zebras (Sandringham), the Scorpians (Springvale), the Borough (Port Melbourne), the Roosters (North Ballarat), the Dolphins (Frankston), the Mustangs (Box Hill), and the Bendigo Diggers are just a few of the many names in the VFL.
