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

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

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

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"?

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.

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.

'Bacchus' and 'Swampy' Marsh.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
