The official nickname thread

[Eggzoi]

I'm not sure if I'm alone here, but I'm often getting confused with the nicknames for players. Most I know, some I can work out, some I just have no idea whatsoever about, maybe it's because I'm new, maybe it's because I'm stupid. Either way, could we get some nicknames and player names posted here?

Havent heard that one before, I have heard him being referred to as Phoon.


Krueger = Kruegs or Freddy

I have a complete mental blank at the moment on any others.

Yeah your right I think, dumb Marty

 

[Skippy_14]

Edwards is like Zooma as well?

 

[lozstar]

25 N Bock #44 Special Fried Rice with Bock Choy

hahaha, i like that one.

 

[NikkiNoo]

yeah I knew edwards as phoon - as in Ty-Phoon (so I can kinda understand where the zoom zoom came in)

 

[Truck Rutten]

A mate of mine (not me!) refers to Bassett as "The Goose" due to his on-field histrionics such as mouth guard throwing, slapping the turf in disgust, and blaming anybody and everything other than himself when he's being taken to the cleaners by an opponent.

 

[RooDog]

Basset is also known as Fred/Freddy
Edwards is zoom zoom too, marty knows what he's talking about
Ladhams is simply Lads, or to me knob because he is wasting all his talent.

 

[Stinger...]

A few of the boys have started calling Welshy "Warney" now...im guessing its because of his fabulous boots!

 

[Scotty's_Girl]

11 R Biglands The Dirty Dancer

21 J Torney

27 L Jerico The Road

Biglands - Biggles (on the 2005 calendar, he does look a lot like Patrick Swayze!)
Torney - Torns
Jericho - Jezza

The boys reckon he looks like Shane Warne!

[Stinger...]

argh you had to love Hooksey!

im guessing she wouldnt have a hairy back....come to think of it, i dont think she'd have a hairy anything! Except her head of course!

 

[dA Crow]

I've heard people refer to Macca as "Normie" , and Ben Hart as "Tiptop"

 

[Damp Squarie]

I call Benny Hart chooks head but thats my affectionate name for my fave Crows player

Neil Craig = Jenny, Craigster.

 

[NikkiNoo]

I remeber reading in one of the crows profiles (forget who it was) they were asked what was the funniest thing they ever heard on the footy field and they replied a richmond player calling benny hart "Baked Bean Head"

I like Napoleon or the Little General for Craigy

 

[Scotty's_Girl]

When I read that, I thought of Gimli from Lord of the Rings.

"It's the dwarves that go swimming with little hairy women!"
