[crosby123]

Just curious as to all the players' nicknames. I know a fair few, but it'd be nice to learn them all.

Nathan Ablett - "Nablett"
Gary Ablett - "Junior", "Gaz", "Gablett"
Jimmy Bartel
Liam Bedford
Mark Blake
Shannon Byrnes
Tim Callan - "Fresh"
Paul Chapman
Joel Corey - "Smithy"
Jason Davenport
Nathan Djerrkura - "Djidi"
Matthew Egan
Corey Enright - "Boris"
Ryan Gamble - "Vegas"
Charlie Gardiner
Todd Grima
Tom Harley
Tom Hawkins - "Hawk", "Tomahawk"
Simon Hogan
Josh Hunt - "Joey"
Sam Hunt
David Johnson
Steve Johnson - "Dog"
James Kelly
Steven King
Cameron Ling - "Dinga", "Linga", "Ring-A-Ding-Ding"
Tom Lonergan - "Domsy"
Andrew Mackie - "The Chest"
Darren Milburn - "Dasher"
Cameron Mooney
Brad Ottens - "Otto"
Stephen Owen - "Dopey"
Henry Playfair - "Hank"
Brent Prismall
Joel Reynolds
Max Rooke
Matthew Scarlett
Joel Selwood - "Blues"
Matthew Spencer - "The Natural"
Mathew Stokes
Kane Tenace - "Blackjack"
Travis Varcoe
Trent West
David Wojcinski - "Woja", "Bomber", "Wojak"



Just for the record, I feel Mark Blake should have as his nickname either "Contested" (as in "Contested" Mark Blake) or "Trouser" ("Trouser" Blake).

 

[Inferno]

Hawkins - Tommahawk

Ottens - Otto

Ling - Linga

Playfair, Gardiner and Byrnes - Useless Hack

 

[Cats!!]

Djerkurra- Djidi

 

[catempire]

Why does Smithy have one of his nicknames listed as Johnny Drama? Surely an Entourage reference, but does anyone know the story?

 

[GeeCat]

"Fresh" Callan
"Domsy" Lonergan
"The Chest" Mackie
"Dopey" Owen
"Blues" Selwood

Why do certain people insist on calling Wojcinski 'Monica'? He doesn't like it and apparently his nickname is really 'Bomber'

IIRC King is 'knuckles'

 

[CF]

Wojcinski is also known as Bomber

I've mentioned this before. Most people have forgotten who Monica Lewinski was anyway. I hear supporters yell out,"Go David!" as often as "Monica" - they are unsure of the pronunciation of his surname - perhaps they read BF threads too often.

 

[The Hulkster]

Cameron "Stinky" Ling.

C'mon he looks like a stinky.

 

[JUBJUB]

Cameron Ling - "Dinga", "Linga", "Ring-A-Ding-Ding"

You forgot "Fanta Pants"

I generally call Wojcinski "Woja" or "Wojak". I'll get rid of Monica then.

 

[Jack-Packenham]

Playfair - goat
Enright - apple

Ive heard Bartel referred to as Nudge from Hey Dad as he likes to go to other players houses and eat their food, is there any truth to this?
Scarlett has also been referred to as "Gunner's boy", and with a surname of Hogan wouldnt Hulk be the obvious choice for Simon?

 

[Prodigal Sons]

I think Playfair answers to "knob jockey"

Lingy has also been known to fetch a bone - hence the name kelpie

Kingy answers to --- hey > you're dropped and you'll never play seniors again.

Mooney also known as "the defendant"

Hunt - usually answers to > "hey you #8 - where's your opponent"

Shannon Byrnes does'nt answer to anyone - especially if he's within 3 suburbs of the goals and team mates in better position are calling for the ball.

 

[gypsy_1]

[afl genius]

Mackie - The Chest?????? - explain
Enright - Borris ??????? - explain
