So Geelong has "Dangerwood" and Collingwood has "Trendlebury" or "Pendeloar"...

According to Foxsports we have "Weil" or Ward and Sheil. It could have been Shard, but they went Weil. And they apologised to Cogs as well.

But it got me thinking. Who are our other combinations that are worthy of a nickname of the calibre of Brangelina? Who else is there besides G1/G3 and A-squared?

And then there's WTF.

First bestowed on Curtly Hampton for butchering the end of brilliant runs.

The Lachie Plowman was WTF2.

Toby has also been periodically WTF although he may have finally learned how to kick.

Who is the BF Giants designated WTF for season 2017?

Given Ward was first and Shiel second for clearances last year that does make sense to me.
Maybe Davis and Tomlinson is some combination, Phadam?
Think WTF was a bit unfair to Toby in a period when finding a link outside in the team was a challenge, maybe for goalkicking.
I'd nominate Griffen for WTF3 he seems a bit lost for ideas in posession sometimes. Still remember an incident against Freo in 2015 when he took the ball in acres of space on the wing and ran around in circles to kick long to.a contest in the wrong 50, for them to mark and goal. Mind you Curtley had a major WTF moment when he overran the the ball in our back 50 and didn't try recover, and cost us another goal.

So, Shiel and Cogs are my two favourite players. Dylshielio has a nice ring to it, if not a bit of a mouthful.
