What are the current nicknames for our players as used by their team mates?

Surjan - Yakob (Source Brendan Lade http://portadelaidefc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=239630)
Hugh Minson - Heff (Source Brendan Lade)
Tom Rischbieth - Forest Gump (Source Warren Tredrea http://portadelaidefc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=241099)
Brett Ebert - Ebo (Source Brendan Lade http://portadelaidefc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=240120)
Ryan Willits - Bruce ( Source Brendan Lade http://portadelaidefc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=240120)
Brendan Lade - Ladey (Source Josh Mahoney http://portadelaidefc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=240964)

Remember it's got to be what the players call them.

Here's a useful resource http://portadelaidefc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=archive
I'm guessing Dewey and Josh Mahoney's columns will have names as well. Brendan Lade drops quite a few but I don't know if some of them aren't just ones he made up while he was writing his column or whether they are consistently used.

Most of what I've heard them call each other at training isn't fit for posting here :)
Well you sound like a good source then, Portentous. On the spot and with your own inbuilt sensor.

not a good sign.

speaking to ben eckermann and he said that mark williams refers to players (such as osborne for hawthorn) as forrest gumps, who run all day but have no skill. mark williams tactic is generally to keep a lesser of an eye on them.

i figure that this is a club nickname for players with no skill but run all day, so i think theres something there.

I highly doubt the players would be bagging the guy on basically his first day at the club.
Me too, he's no Brett Burton.

my mates and I call him Money Man

Yes Al, many a beer has been drunk pre-match commenting on "the money man".
However I always thought of it as though, that you could put money on him putting it right through.
Great goal by Ladey deep in the pocket in the GF. Super kick for goal. Any better in the side??
I'd like to say the grew, but 6 or 7 straight is not enough to get carried away (yet)

On The Power From Port, we were refering to him as Chucky as a result of his little accident during his first training session!

Chucky, chuckles, chucks, all sound alright to me.
