[Samcro24]

The nickname Bez is very popular this week…

Dingle

 

[Firewalker]

Gollant’s nickname is Squiggles btw

 

[FR0GGY]

Gollant’s nickname is Squiggles btw

Is that because he’s a bit gangly?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

How is Butts' not Seymour?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

maybe Mr Squiggles, just guessing?

 

[DroppingTheBall]

OK I have updated #19 and #44 in the OP. Milk and Squiggles, got it.

Hearing Nicksy refer to Himma as Dragon tonight, I edited post #1 to make that his primary nickname, and moved Easy to his other nickname.

Let me know if you have the inside goss on any other nicknames not currently on the list. I am mainly trying to compile a list of nicknames that are known around the club, rather than invent on the run.

Cheers!

LATEST UPDATE with incoming players, and departing players moved to a new 'Former Players' list at the bottom.

More to come after the draft.

 

[Dangarman]

Ahh, the days of somewhat risqué nicks like 'Stiffy' Johncock and 'Jenny' Talia seem to be behind us.

I thought I heard a commentator once suggest that the nickname for Borlase was (or should be) Atlas given his broad shoulders.

 

[DroppingTheBall]

Good one!

Heard Egypt in the crowd a fair bit.

 

[DroppingTheBall]

Egypt?

 

[FR0GGY]

Egypt?

Where he was born

Listening to the Mark Keane interview that went up on YouTube a couple of days ago, I heard him mention 'Welshy' and 'Drapes'.

Shall I put them in as nicknames?

What about Neal-Bullen, Cumming, and Peatling: does anyone know their nicknames around the club?

As far as I know the 3 trades come with their own nicknames. As per their "get to know" profiles on afc.com.au they are:

ANB - Nibbler
Cumming - Cheese
Peatling - Jappa or JP

Now I see Samcro24 says Welsh is nicknamed Bronny at the club. Can anyone confirm? (What does it even mean?)

LATEST UPDATE to Post #1 with final list of incoming players and numbers.

Check it out and share your thoughts. I want the list to reflect the nicknames they are known by around the club.

cheers

It was a joke

Draper's nickname when at South Adelaide was Pete or Peter as in Peter Siddle

Showing my age here but using the same logic I'd have gone with Jamie.

 

[Scorpus]

Draper's nickname when at South Adelaide was Pete or Peter as in Peter Siddle

Awful nickname. The AFL guys should scrub that one and start again

 

[DroppingTheBall]

Does anyone know Lachlan McAndrew's main nickname?

 

[KingChowder]

Does anyone know Lachlan McAndrew's main nickname?

Pretty sure the boys have been calling him Stretch, I'll let you guess why.

Edit - I think he was called that at Sydney too.
