Your player nicknames?

Kent Kingsley - the seagull

I heard some bloke yelling out that he kicks like a seagull and thought it was the funniest thing I had ever heard.

Thats actually pretty funny, but as i learnt from a drunk guy at the Swans V Melbourne clash, seagulls are one of the smartest seabirds. This guy i was sitting next 2 was the funniest man ever. He had snuck 4 1.25L bottles of Bundy in Coke bottles into the game. He was gold that night, one of the funniest people i have ever seen at the footy. SOmeone was bagging a Melbourne player saying they look like a Seagull and cant play for cr@p, and he went on a 10minute rant on how smart seagulls are, as he had seen it on a documentry show, or that he had just make that up on the spot. He couldnt remember.

Tenace= Blackjack as hsi name is ten+ace. Heard that at his first afl game, havnt heard it since

On a day like Saturday...most of the nicknames should not be uttered, there may be kids in here.

28. David Johnson - The Anchorman (After the news reader)

I saw DJ in a bar on sat night and told about this nick...he laughed his head off and thought it was it was the greatest one he'd received....then he happy told me to get on board because we'll take the flag next season.

DJ would love it! He is quite a fan of Ron Burgundy and I'm sure he would be very happy if it continued on. Perhaps "The Anchorman" is a tad hard when he is out on the ground, but I'm sure simple shouts of "Ron" would suffice. Far better than Fumbles or DJ in my opinion.
And I'm sure his advice will be taken on by many. In 2006, the Cats are coming.

Just reading through an old (1998) edition of Cat Chat, and apparently Derek Hall's nickname used to be 'The Flying Skull'! I can see it too, his head looks like those flying skulls that used to try chew your face off on the old Doom games .

I'm struggling to remember what nicknames we used for the players during the GF era of the 90s.

Ablett - Gazza
Hocking - Budda
Couch - Couchy
Mensch - Menschy
Simpson - Simo

Not very creative from memory.

Mark Bairstow was 'Toby' for some reason I can't remember anymore, Glenn Kilpatrick was both 'Killer', and 'Oysters'...

I'll try dig some more up
