Was that today?

Any more you can tell us? Opposition? Time on ground & possessions or position played etc.?

Thanks in advance.

Scratch match. Hawks Played with Collingwood against Melb & Carlton

Scratch match. Hawks Played with Collingwood against Melb & Carlton

These sorts of matches must be so weird to observe; having mixes of multiple teams playing essentially for fitness purposes. I for one would have loved to see it though

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

3 Goals by Shagger in the scratch match, lots of forward pressure and runs down Jetta. More game time for this excitement machine

Thanks Neo.

Good to hear Seamus has a traditional footy nickname. Back in the olden days every self respecting footy club had it’s fair share of Shaggers, Knackers, Wackers, Spuds and Blueys.

For younger readers I have spelt Wackers correctly.

The last sentence made me chuckle.

Yep, I had a Wacka, Blood, Trashy, Bubby, Shags, Roota, Spud, Beetle, Chicken, Skeeta, etc etc.

Hammer, Stinky, Skinner, Scotty Bogan (there were 2x Scotts - 1x was a bogan), Chook & Boner shoot to mind for me.

Is he a chance of a debut late this year, or a bridge too far with fitness from his injuries for AFL?

Clarko won’t gift a debut on excitement but the reviews are getting better and better..

We're only a couple more injuries away from not having any choice but to play him.

Maybe he can get the Conor Downie type of debut?

The fact he hasn’t got another game makes that even worse hey… imagine if he doesn’t come on and never gets there, that ends up being his one ‘game’.
With how rushed the medical sub rule was when it was introduced surely that’s fixed over summer? Don’t get subbed in it’s not a game..

Plenty of players have been picked and not step on to the field, using the bench is a relatively new concept.

Reminds me of half the games I played in the A’s….
Will we see Mitchell in the AFL this year though? With Wingard not too far off and Brocky finding some form I think probably not till next year?

So come on then, tell us what your nicknames are/were.

Pretty unimaginative, actually: surname + 'ey'...

A classic. Same for me, actually.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Mine was Brick to do with my surname

Same. Or Moose.

Big Moose????

Any chance we will see Mitchell debut before the year is out?

Will be hard not to if he keeps kicking 3 per match

Again quite unimaginative really. The first syllable of my surname which happened to end in o.

My sons played with 2 guys called Dirty and Filthy. Apparently it had more to do with their personal hygiene rather than their playing style.

 

[streetspirit]

I shared one with Saunders - "Mighty Mouse"

the weirdest use of a nickname I came across was Doug Barwick constantly talking to himself during the match. “Well done Dougie”, “Dougie do good” etc. it seemed slightly unhinged

Doug was a mad man, in under 18’s he used to make us carry bricks outstretched to our front and sides, and walk lap after lap, couldn’t lift your arms for days afterwards
