Most of the nicknames I've heard during the reserves (yes you can hear them!) are pretty boring:

Malceski - Mal
Spriggs - Spriggsy
Moore - Bulldog
McVeigh - Macca
Grundy - Reg
Vogels - Voges
Chambers - Sarge (NFI where that's from)
Willoughby - Josh (wow how original)
Doyle - Doyley
Brabazon - Braba
Barlow - Eddie
Schmitt - Schmiddy
Garrubba - Stef
Matthew Davis - Smokie (btw this guy has done nothing in any of the games I've seen)
Phillips - Jockey
Jack - Kez

Ryan O'Keefe: Pebbles [how did he get that name?!?!?]

His first year on the list was when Ryan O'Connor played for us.
Ryan O'Connor was nicknamed "Rock" because of his size, and because of his intials (ROC)
When Ryan O'Keefe (ROK) arrived, he was called Pebbles because a pebble is a little rock

Pebbles is a great knickname. But I might just let his teammates call him that. Just can't bring myself to cheer him on as Pebbles since it's also Anthony Rocca's knickname for similar reasons.

It'll just have to respectfully remain Rhino for me :p

lol..why Auskick??? how did he get that nick?? hehe

I have these 8 asian members who sit behind me and they are absolutely hilarious, they made up the name and it's just stuck. Auskick 'cus he looks like the little guys playing at half time.

The name so suits him, especially the way they say it.

He will be traded or cut at years end.

Lol!!! What a way to call Philly that! hehe..sounds funny. But yeah, i think it's cos he is small and etc. But his face looks very young...so cute!!! I would've mistakened him as a lil boy, seriously [but despite his height]. hehe...

there's nothing wrong with you, i guess you have a 'thing' for youngesters! pwahaha...
 
In the Footy Record we bought at one game last year there was an unscramble-the-players-name puzzle. One of the clues was HAM STEW... which we worked out was meant to be Ben MATHEWS.

This nickname for Benny has now stuck because, let's face it, sometimes his game can be about as inspiring as eating some ham stew!
