Strangely enough, when I view the site in Firefox, they're downloadable in MP4 format!

They both have a nice ring to it imo

Sparky for sure.

[Courtney_Fish 183]

Sparky for sure.

I always think the nickname threads are a bit lame but as soon as I saw the vid I thought "Dimples".

[Robbie57 2,022]

Sparky is impressive, I reckon the filth are really filthy on us snaring him.

Does Cook look a little like Peter Moore is it just me?

[biggestred 5,140]

adding a vowel to the end of someone's name isnt really a nickname IMHO...

Good call, hopefully he'll win a couple of Charlies.

I love the genuine excitement shown by all of them

How is it any different to shortening a name and calling someone like Jakovich "Jako"?

It might not be an imaginative nickname, but it is still a nickname nonetheless, as is "Howie" and "Cookie/Cooko"

...or are you being deliciously ironic because your own name is "Benno"?

It isn't delicious.

I know, I was trying to be kind.

Doesn't work for me.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

I had a cookie earlier and it was delicious.

did you get sacked?

yes yes ironic

however most people call me Big red.....because i am tall and have red hair. original eh?

anyway i am just a fan of clever nicknames.

for exampe, for cook - captain is too obvious. what about monster?

[45HG 1,559]

Nicknames come about best by those who actually know the person.

Seldom are decent nicknames (that stick) thought up by those who do not know an individual, in this case supporters.

Skipper?

I think if nicknames are too obscure they are not only just as poor, but they don't catch on.

My favourite has to be "Tugga" for Steve Waugh.

"Afghanistan" for Mark has great comedy value, but it's hardly a nickname.

[e25 5]

The Russian? Bowser? Chunk?

Hank? The wookie? the Walipiri Wizard?

Don't spoil the illusion 45.

The players are your friends, kiddies.

They love you and know your name and always want to talk to you.

[e25 5]

I think more in terms of what is good to yell out at the footy.
