The most important part of draft day...

[spotthedog1]

Bell is already Belly.

In the Draft Show, a few of the other draftees already called Mathieson 'Matho'...

Love 'Hippo' for Hipwood. Especially after he turns into a tank. For the etymology nerds out there, 'Horse' is always a popular nickname at AFL clubs too, so that's an option.

 

[blackers]

Hungry hungry Hipwood.

 

[Fatcat08]

There's one type of wood that's close to your hip.........




Welcome Axe

 

[matwt73]

Look I don't know why we do this every year. Clearly it has no impact, regardless of how witty and clever we are. The simple fact is if I was unable to make 'Smear' fly for Paps nothin we say will ever be taken seriously. However...

Bell: Dinger
Josh Walker: Jehovah
Rhys Mathieson: Gob
Sam Skinner: Seymour

I beg to differ.

 

[Fatcat08]

I beg to differ.

Sorry to offend all those who use wooden handled hammers, my mistake but we already have a hammer

 

[AFLQLD]

I am going to suggest that Keays is going to be brilliant player and will be the complete package, but since 'The Package' is both taken and stupid, that we refer to him as 'The Envelope' because he is smaller but always delivers.

 

[AFLQLD]

Tom Bell:
"Liberty bell, liberty bell, liberty bell! Woohoo!!!!"

"Oh, Mr Homer, please be moving your thumb."

Liberty it is.

 

[AFLQLD]

"Bastinac!"

"Bassinet?"

"Basilisk?"

"Busted sac?"

"Baccarat?"

"Basted cat?"

Work continues...

 

[Cockliff38]

I vote "Sanga" or "Toastie" for Reuben William

 

[scoman]

I vote "Sanga" or "Toastie" for Reuben William

I rekon he needs to get a last name before we worry about nicknames.

Maybe him and Andrews Harris could come to some sort of an agreement?

 

[Ironmonger]

This guy existed, apparently:

[James North]

I am going to suggest that Keays is going to be brilliant player and will be the complete package, but since 'The Package' is both taken and stupid, that we refer to him as 'The Envelope' because he is smaller but always delivers.

My suggestion is "Proximity" or "Proxy".

All his family were (and still are) called Hippy in the footy world. His Grandad, Dad & both Uncles all were Hippy when playing.

As someone who was once a keen observer of nicknames, I simply can't be arsed anymore. They're all just going to have an "a", "o" or "y" added to their surname or some abbreviation of their surname, unless their name is somewhat reminiscent of a famous/infamous person. Or it will be the continuation of a childhood nickname bestowed by parents. Yawn.

Well said, Belgo.

 

[Davemonkey]

Well said, Belgo.

We're still not calling you Skooby.

 

[Skoob]

We're still not calling you Skooby.

You will if you're allowed into the Skooby gang, Monkster.

 

[cmt26]

Bell, Walker & Jansen already have nicknames from their previous team mates.

Not creative - but I'd assume these handles to stay with our playing group.

Donger
Walks
Jans (Pronounced Jance)

That brings back painful memories. I was giving one of the ladies I worked with a bit of lip one day and she told me to "Be quiet Friar Tuck!"

I already knew I had the belly but was unaware of the pronounced monk's tonsure I was forming on the top of my head.

Not the sort of monkey I aspire to.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Bungalow Keays
Schache And Bake
Sir Eric
Mathieson Square Garden
Skinner Cat

 

[knaf]

Noting Belgo's comments, I still wonder if "Hurricane" will get a run if William is recruited or even "Carter" so he has a last name.
