The Orange Roughie (for Justin Leppitsch)
Daniel Chick-a-dee
Rocca-bye-Baby
Yablett

I know there are plenty more, but we're not in season
Haven't heard the great man in two months

 

[Viking Wizard Eyes]

Even though he isn't playing anymore, Sean Not A Well Man was quite good I thought.

 

[cosby]

the cranium
the golf ball

 

[H Dolphin]

Haven't heard the great man in two months

A mob of 15 year olds from Port Douglas have.

Such an elusive formula.

Although Dipper had a go at comming up a nickname and it fell so flat.

Can anyone explain why Dipper is employed in the media BTW. Just curious at who anticipates his appearances. When Rex gets excited you can hear Dipper in the background getting excited because he knows if he had the brains to have some stich of his own then it would be at these moments that it would need to surface.

What is the point of those names?

 

[Muffo]

Wasn't it Byron Bay?

 

[H Dolphin]

Wasn't it Byron Bay?

Could be. Once you get north of Bell Street, it's all much of a muchness.

 

[H Dolphin]

What is the point of those names?

To make Hunt's call "colourful". That way you mightn't notice that he isn't telling you anything about what's happening on the field.

 

[sum0005]

Graham Johncock- Stiffy Longcock

 

[Underdog]

Brett Heady (ret.) - The Job

his nickname was always Jobby, so its not too creative on Rex's part

 

[scarecrow2k1]

His nicknames always annoy me

They are quite aggravating on the radio, but this is taken to a new level when he writes in the herald sun, particularly when they include the real name after each rediculous nickname, in brackets

 

[Giants FC]

His best one is Daniel Gee-Sir-I-Accuse-Ya.

 

[Eagle Boy]

Hahn Premium Light for Hahn from the Bulldogs.

 

[Jumpin' Jimmy]

Got a bit tongue-tied with the Crows a couple of season back with Rhett Biglands, Graham Johncock and that other bloke who could once play a bit.......Wayne Bigcock.

 

[jazzadogs]

gotta be brendan "who-got" lade from the power

 

[Baby Blue]

If you want an entertaining call, tune in to triple M, there is a reason why they dominated the footy ratings this year.

No one understands either the names or, his call.
