Nicknames

[Mead]

Its great to see that, unlike recent years, the nickname spread at west coast is filling out a bit.. Nothing quite so good for football as a heap of bizarro name tags for everyone at the clubs- what would you expect from a team coached by the Silent Assassin?
I'm trying to list every nick i've ever heard- pick me up on the ones i miss.

Troy Wilson: Porno, BB, T-Train,
Adam Hunter: HUNTTTTTTAAAA!!!! (must be screamed)
Dean Cox: Big, Fat, Stiffy
Peter Matera: Roo
Phil Matera: Fido
Josh Wooden: Pinochio
Daniel Kerr: Dan-the-Man, Kemp mkII
Chris Judd: The Package
Ben Cousins: Cuz, El Kapitan, The Energiser Bunny
Ashley Mcintosh: Milli (I have to admit i never heard the story behind this one- anyone care to enlighten me?)
Quinten Lynch: The Mobster, the Lynchmeister, Lynchinator. (and if could add a suggestion- Welly, because thats what he does whenever he kicks it)
Mark Merenda: Choco
Drew Banfield: Banners
Andrew Embley: Embers

And the less creative ones:
Glen Jakovich: Jako (no complaints about this actually, its been him for so long that it just fits best)
David Wirrpunda: Wirra
Chad Fletcher: Fletch
Michael Gardiner: Gardie
Siera, etc etc etc
Definitely some potential there. I'd like to see a new one for Wirrpunda, because his exciting style of play deserves something special.

It's the smiling assassin, not silent, isn't it?

But I reckon Stiffy is a great one for Cox.

Another one I've heard for Wooden is "MAD DOG!!!"

Sorry Its late at night

I cant stop referring to Wirrpunda simply as Punda! Chad Fletcher is also known as Ben because he is a dead ringer for Ben from Felicity

Rowen Joes - Jonah

I've heard:

Phil M = Joey

Wilson = Mad Dog

Well I heard that Mcintosh gets 'Milli" from Milli Vanilli the stripper. Can anyone confirm this?

Mad Dog was what we members used to scream at Peter Wilson in the early nineties.

The look on this guys face when he carried the ball looked like he was the devil possessed....

Not a star player, but will never forget that goal in the 92 GF.

Stripper? I hope you mean mime artist I heard it came from his reputation for being the karaoke master of the team, or perhaps it was best radio mime, something like that.

Wirrpunda: Agree with Jod, it's Punda!

Embley: I always liked Emberlay, Emberlay, Emberlay yeeeeeehaaa! (think Speedy Gonzales...)

Hunter: It's HunTAAAAAAAAAA, the emphasis is just on the last syllable

And frankly I think we should just all start calling Daniel Kerr "Kempy" because it fits perfectly...

I talked to a Bomber Supporter once who said they all call Wirrpunda "Soap" because he is so slippery.

I still think Josh should be called "IT" because he is the tagger.
