Nick names?

[btdemon 482]

It would seem that we have the least imaginative nicknames of all the clubs. I read today that Scully and Trengove have 'Skull' and 'JT' respectively. Add to that, Millsy, Brucey, Greeny, Whitey etc. I wonder if Dean Bailey has too much influence in the nick-naming. He seems to refer to the new guys in early pressers by such names as 'Giz', 'Skulls' etc. Whoever it was on this forum who coined the name 'Noah' for Trengove, handed the Dees a fantastic opportunity, but NO, they didn't take it. I think putting a 'Y' on the end of someone's name, or shortening it and putting an 'S' on the end, as in 'Bails', does not constitute a nick-name. With Jurrah, we had the opportunity to call him 'Warlpiri Wizard' or as I read recently, his indigenous name 'Jukutai', but what did we end up with - 'LJ'.

We used to have some good ones like 'Wizard', 'Tigger', 'The Ox', etc. Maybe it was the ox who bestowed these names. Hopefully, in amongst our new recruits is someone with imagination.

precious much?

I think the players will call their teammates whatever is easiest to call out loudly and quickly whilst on the ground.

What they call each other should not necessarily have any bearing on what we as supporters refer to them as.

Feel free to continue calling Trengove 'Noah'.

'JT' works just fine for me as long as people don't insist on calling him 'Trenny' - it sounds both unoriginal and unsophisticated.

Edit: grammar.

Yeah adding a 'y' to the end of a name or shortened name is easiest to yell out on the field.

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

That is what is holding us back! We don't have good nicknames. Bugger, that must be worth 6 goals a week.

Pretty sure many would have similar nicknames in the bedroom

[WonnaJurah 5]

426 was a pretty creative name for Nick Smith

Australian's always have useless nicknames. Just stick a Y on the end and all is well.

And why pizza nipples out of interest?

Always was my favourite. I don't mind hightower for PJ. And master is kind of lame the second time you hear it, but I like it anyway.

[Viney Vidi Vici 148]

at training a while back I heard Bartram calling Jurrah Wiz.... maybe it'll live on.

[Guest straussski]

because apparently I have big nipples haha...

[BAMF 4,353]

Which team have the best?

Was going to say this as well. I love when people get grumpy at something in the club, they immediately decide we must be the worst.

Apparently.

Here I am thinking they may have come with extra anchovies.

[45HG 1,539]

I was wondering if they'd been cut into 8 slices.
