Player Nicknames

[riccardo]

Does anyone have any personal nicknames they made up for any of thier teams players?

My best effort is christening Matt Maguire 'Tommy'.
T.O.M. stands for The Only Maguire.

And it's really taken off too.

Plenty of supporters using it, i've even heard an unnamed Geelong player who recently retired, use the name when calling out to Cameron at training.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

I also labelled Paul Chambers, Unco.
It too has become a very popular nickname amongst supporters.

 

[DaveW]

I'm surprised Kris Massie doesn't get called Bob more often.

 

[Generalissimo]

Some obvious ones that never really took off:

Glenn 'Oysters' Kilpatrick
Cameron 'Dinga' Ling

Others (sorry if some of these have been mentioned already):

David 'Monica' Wojcinski
Paul 'Unco' Chambers
Darren 'Dash' Milburn
Gumby Mooney
Brent 'Tweek' Moloney
Andrew 'Mmmkay' Mackie
Tim 'Bluey' McGrath
Henry 'H' Playfair
