[Exeter]

most of those are straight forward but where did Chops, Exodus and Mutt come from?

Coyote is great example of lateral thinking.

Siegert = Anthem (Gert by Sea)

 

[The Mission Man]

Exodus Smith wears 13, formerly the number of The Prince of Pockets, Scott Chisolm. Chis has more nicknames than you have red blood cells. One of them is "Genesis". Exodus comes after Genesis.

Mutt is Mutt because after being poleaxed by that sniping thug-lite Guerra and put in an epileptic fit, well, he foamed a bit at the mouth.

Chops Hasleby loves chops. His dog is named Chops. He is named Chops. When he dies of chop-related causes, he will be buried in a chop-shaped coffin.

Only some of these are actually used and some that are used are not here. The players, for example, call 211 "Spider" which is a triumph of conventional straitjacketing.

I call Troy Cook "No Reconciliation" - after his definitive bump on Mitchell White - but never expect it to catch on.

Anthem is good.

Bugger me Exodus is obscure.

Am I right in thinking that Genesis refers to a slang term that rhymes with "Chisholm" with an oblique reference to procreation?

Of course. It also refers to a time when he was running down the middle of Subi oval, looking for something, anything, stopped, then did a complete 360 like a dog looking for a place to sleep.

We were getting our routine pummeling at that stage and I was compelled to yell out to Chis, urging him to "dream a new beginning".

Genesis was the only obvious place to go.

 

[Exeter]

Ah the Black Prince - he raised indecision to an art form.

He's a plod now isn't he?

 

[Exeter]

I admire the creativity there.

Damn site more imaginative than Gardy, Embers, Doogs, Kerry, Cuz, Juddy, Fletch, Jako, Kempy, Bluey, Woosha, Seabs et al.

Working around the Metro nightclub in Freo, keeping Freo clean of Eaglettes who can't stomach fully strength grog?.

Oh, we have nicknames for them too.

 

[Exeter]

I'm sure you do.

How about Jugs for Stribling?

as in Toby jugs.

You've obviously never Stribled. Jugs don't come into it.

He had his face ripped off by a bull terrier when he was 4. He looks like Beaker would look if Beaker made a habit of stroking himself with a 240-volt cattle prod.

"Jugs," while undoubtedly a fine sort of nickname, is wasting too many opportunities.

 

[Exeter]

What's a bull terrier want with a 4 year old's face?

What about Muffler for "Lukey" Webster?

Christ, work must be boring if I'm trying to to think of nicknames for Dockers players.

We're waiting on Webby to demonstrate the Webster Aggression Gene before we give him his definitive nickname.

His old man Ron, an East Perth thug from way back, once knocked out four blokes in a WAFL game. With one hit. Sure it was ana accident based on the way they were all standing at the time, but that stuff is the stuff of b-i-itching nicknamery.

 

[Exeter]

a point of grammar if I may:

"Thug" is superfluous when used in the same sentence as "East Perth"

to call 'em "scumotheearth" is to give scum a bad name.

Unlike my own team of paladin like purity and unimpeachable character.

Dungeons and Dragons nerd alert!

West Perth are the only team to come close to East Fremantle in the flag stakes. For this reason I can regard them as a little more than a mild diversion or amusement. But only a little.

There seem to be heaps of West Perth Dockers supporters. It's kind of scary. I guess East Perth and WCE are so inextricably linked that anyone with the slightest taste or decency would flock to the call of the Dockers.

 

[Dr Ralph Dagg]

Apparently Luke Webster is studying to be a chiropractor. Perhaps "Fix-Em-Up". Apart from the enjoyment of yelling "Fix em up, Fix em up", he can fix them up on the field, and off.

 

[Exeter]

It's a problem with one's co-religionists.

Do you look past the fact that someone brought up barracking for the Royals (or Claremont, God forbid) is likely to be a goat riding child molester just because they happen to follow the same AFL team?

Following the Eagles or the Dockers is like being part of a UN Peace Keeping force - there's a whole bunch of others wearing the same colours whose backgrounds and personal habits you'd rather not be aquainted with, but who are there ostensibly for the same purpose.

 

[Feddema]

I've always liked "The Valet" for Shane Parker
