A couple more:

Davey - Froggy
NLM - NatRat
Fletcher - Inspector Gadget
Hocking: Buddha or Bull
Watson - Jobe Wan
 
Carlisle - Buckets
 
I heard Mark Thompson's nickname is Bomber because he grew up barracking for Carlton.

'Bomber' was initially 'Bomba' - after a cartoon character (I think) - and it was to do with walking around in shorts & thongs, even in the middle of winter.
It developed into 'Bomber' once he came to Essendon.

Few of them dont have much imagination to them like Browne is Browney, Ross is Rossy. Bellchambers used to be T-Bell not sure if he still gets that. Baguley kept his Frankston nickname in Baggers and Lee was getting called Binga.
 
6 Angus Monfries - Hollywood
7 Leroy Jetta - Buster (as in Buster Keaton)
10 Mark McVeigh - Bomber
16 Tayte Pears - Prickly, or Growa
23 David Myers - Jennifer Gale (or is it Megan Hawkins?), or Unlikely Department Store Company Merger
25 Ariel Steinberg - P&O, or The Big (half) Fish
30 Paddy Ryder - Easy
 
Isn't Hurley 'Polar Bear' or something to that effect? There's also Har-Ding-HAM. The Messiah, The Oracle, The Chosen One, The Last Emperor etc etc all fit Jobe nicely.
