Nickname sub-committee

[Enviable Tradition]

It is time to meet. We have 4 new players so lets hear what you've got.

Here's my thoughts

Ben Jacobs- BJ (anything but sauce)
Ben Newton - Isaac
Aaron Young - Youngy (I got nothing)
Cameron O'Shea - The big O

If there are any old team mates reading I would love to hear what they have been called.

 

[Ebert80]

I was thinking about this the other day too. I thought of Isaac for Newton too. There was an ex Woodville ruckman called Garth Newton, although thats probably a bit obscure.

For Young, how about "Cliff"..

I don't need the link 'Cliff' Young is a beauty.

 

[Ebert80]

No worries, the link was there for younger posters who don't remember him.

The other "Young" i just thought of was "Johnny" of Young Talent Time fame.

 

[finbarr]

Aaron Young - 'A'
Ben Jacobs - 'B1'
Ben Newton - 'B2'
Cameron O'Shea -'C'


That's all i've got.

Benny
Newts
Youngy
Spud

I don't think 'Spud' is a nickname that really has a positive vibe about it
Maybe Bert or Moonface for Newton

 

[Ebert80]

After the Irish pub in Hackham, "Mick" O'Shea.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

O'shea - Irish, Paddy
Young - Neil

 

[Portology]

Ben Jacobs - "Fritz".

Best bit of advertising that new sponsor of ours every got. Yes I have been drinking again. Please don't tell me the AFL already have an major sponsor and preferred supplier of manufactured meats

 

[Ebert80]

Apparently Garibaldi offered, but were rejected.

 

[finbarr]

With the whole "Back in Black" thing i'm surprised 'Angus' or 'Malcom' Young haven't been mentioned at all.

 

[SYDpower]

Ben Jacobs - Creek, BJ (previously suggested),
Aaron Young - Elvis (Aaron was Elvis' middle name), Angus (after AC/DC's Angus Young)
Cameron O'Shea - COS, clover, greeny,
Ben Newton - I like moonface also, but would be ok with Isaac.

 

[Portia]

Benji, Azza, Cam and Bewt

 

[Toots Hibbert]

If O'Shea and Hitchcock flew for the same mark we'd have twin overhead cams.

 

[Lightning_Rod]

ok im drawing a long bow here, but ben jacobs aka luke jacobs aka x factor, he has it.

i like spud(po-ta-toe) for o'shea

bert for ben newton

 

[Portology]

Apparently Garibaldi offered, but were rejected.

well if a smallgoods manufacturer makes you an offer that smells fishy, you should run away. I wonder if Don sponsor Essendon LOL

 

[Del80659]

I wanna hear what the players make up again, didn't Chad say two-dads first?

 

[One PAFC]

Easy nickname for Aaron Young

Angus!

 

[Power Pete]

Ben Jacobs: Jac or pronounce it like Jack (first 3 letters of last name)
Ben Newton: Bert (say no more)
Aaron Young: Rony or pronounced Ronnie (last 3 letters of first name and the first letter of last name)
Cameron O'Shea: Sheary (i just like the nickname)

 

[FishingRick04]

i like spud(po-ta-toe) for o'shea

Someone gets my logic

 

[PhoenixPower]

Ben Jacobs- Henry (another name for BJ..... ;-)
Ben Newton - count me as another vote for Bert
Aaron Young - hmmm tough..... not sure
Cameron O'Shea - Spud gets my vote for sure, followed by "te tee, ta taa, to too ahh po-tay-toes!"

 

[Macca19]

BJ, Young, Bert and Irish/Spud for me.

 

[Power Raid]

I prefer their real names

nicknames can be offensive if you aren't close to the person. Let's face it, we are club supporters and not their mates (I accept some of you might be)

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Ben Jacobs - Pure12
Ben Newton - Pure12
Aaron Young - Pure12
Cameron O'Shea - Pure12

You know it makes sense.
