does anyone else yell out leroy for some reason instead of jetta?

 

[Pweter]

I heard Mark Thompson's nickname is Bomber because he grew up barracking for Carlton.

 

[dnbassador]

Does anyone actually know why Hibberd is called pig?

 

[Tommy08]

I love Lloydy being called 'Lordo' these days

[JD11]

Does anyone actually know why Hibberd is called pig?

Cause he has a curly tail, that's why he always wears pants.

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

Does anyone actually know why Hibberd is called pig?

[dnbassador]

Buckets related to the Walker incident? haha

 

[NAB777]

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.

 

[lemon chicken]

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.

 

[beev]

Buckets related to the Walker incident? haha

Probably his hands (marking).

 

[Dwight Schrute]

CramDog.

 

[dj21]

6 Angus Monfries - Hollywood

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

 

[CakeButcher]

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.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

I heard they called Melksham "Black Cav". Not sure why?
