Player Nicknames

[Lady Lawrence]

bump at the request of some newbies.


I promised to add the nicknames to their names on roster watch (I was naughty and slack and will get onto it!!)

 

[Thommo4pm]

How about the one on the show 'before the Game'...

Jed "Just" Adcock

 

[Sherminator.]

I call Albert Prou, Prince. I like it.
Chris Schmidt is Schnozz, to me. He has a big nose.
I like the nickname Jedi, for Adcock, it suits him.
Filthy is an awesome one for Phil Smith, I like it.

Player nicknames are in the Lions Season Guide 08 I got mine in the post today! Did everyone receive theirs?

I got mine too. I have to say I miss the old season guides where they had an interview and story about each player. I remember reading in one of them in the days where Power was a crumbing forward and he was talking about how he wanted to move into the midfield... I think my reaction was "pff, yeah right"

He proved me wrong...

Woha, thread derailment by myself.

Totally agree. It's a shame Blacky and Lappin had so many career highlights, so to speak, that there wasn't room for much else in their player profiles too.

Don't know if it was in the season guide but at school, Lachie Henderson was called Sloth from Ice Age.

 

[Propagandhi]

Jason Roe: J-Ro

Don't be fooled by the spot that he's got
He's still, he's still Jason from the block


Ash Mcgrath: Pigsy

[Hollow Knight]

They are always far less original and inspired than expected. Will be along the lines of...

Richie
Reddo
Banners
Corndog
Barty
Kingy

 

[Lace Out]

Trump. Re Rich

 

[Rawhead]

Kieren King will be known as da Slayer to me now.


Uncool people will have no idea what I'm talking about.

I hate being so uncool.

 

[Rawhead]

Mr Kerry 'Kieren' King

The king of shred.

Mr Kerry 'Kieren' King

The king of shred.

Ahhh, pop culture reference! I feel very slightly less uncool.

 

[Dylan12]

As long as Rich isn't stuck with 'Cheese' as he was colloquially called at Subiaco. I know one of the guys who gave it to him and I personally think its terrible. Surely one of the boys or Leppa can come up with something better.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Hey guys, I hope I am not encroaching on your board. Congratulations on picking up Rich. He will be a great player for many years. I just wanted to suggest a nickname: T-rex. This is based on the fact that although the T-rex had tiny arms, it was a ferocious killer, just like Rich. if you think it is crap then I apologise for defacing your board, but feel free to use it if you so desire.

 

[Rawhead]

He has tiny arms?


Did we draft some kind of genetic freak with our first pick?






I hope so cause I'm a big fan of freaks.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

One of us. One of us. One of us.

Lots of possibilities with King. Blynd Freddie mentioned Wally, although my first thought was a reference to Buddy Kane (from American Beauty). Although in true Aussie style he'll probably be called 'Wayne'.

 

[blynd_freddie]

I think those with the opportunity/availability need to get to training this week and hound Leppa and sound out Bart > "eat my shorts" > "Shorty" McCulloch...

or better still as others have suggested, ask him for some real gold.

 

[Grimreepah]

Also the name "Kieran" does tend to go hand in hand with "Perkins".

 

[SunKing]

Rex would be one..

For Bart McCulloch I'd go with Bort..

 

[Grimreepah]

I read somewhere the suggested nickname of "Blush" for Redden.

 

[Quigley]

On the freak theme - maybe cabbage
