Player Nicknames

[Demon Jack 6,763]

What is your favourite nickname for a Melbourne player?

If you don't know any then try to come up with one!

Examples - Aaron Davey (Flash)

- Jack (Good Times) Grimes

[DemonDing 56]

Hulk Hogan

[Striker475 696]

Hulk Hogan for sure.

I hope they call Viney 'Brick' as in 'the brick with eyes'.

[Biffen 12,926]

Judy "Garland"-just needs to perform on the big stage consistently -and stop looking at the replay.

Tom "Drive Thru" McDonald.-still workshopping.

[P-man 13,366]

I'm gonna start calling Dom Barry, "Nong"...as per the suggestion of "Barrignon".

It'll catch on. Just you watch.

[red and blue forever 941]

you will n otice when mark neeld does interviews, especially when we loose, his right eye starts twitching.

so I was thinking, either, the twitcher, or birdman

(i.e. twitcher as in bird watcher)

Mm, I don't think that would be appropriate, I heard Malthouse saying at some stage that he delayed neurosurgery for Collingwoods 2010 premiership. This year he has been accused of being racist, being unable to coach, criticised for starting captains on the bench, not having a game plan and the usual media slander. His medical history is none of our business; nick names referring to any neurological condition which is no fault of his own might not be very tasteful. Don’t need a coach frustrated by impatient supporter slander of a developing playing group, to be any more upset with us than he probably already is.

Based on another current thread, Viney's nickname should be Chuck

[GrandOld 367]

Jack"THE HAMMER"Viney

Jack"THE HAMMER"Viney

Swingin Dawes

no offence was meant. To be honest I thought it was down to stress of his first year with everything going to hell.

apologies.

HE actually said in an interview earlier this year that the twitch is a result of nerve damage after he broke his jaw back when he played. I believe he is planning on having it fixed at some point.

I heard this, too.

I don't think any offence was meant by rabf.

Pretty sure when they fixed his jaw one of his facial nerves wrapped itself around the bone. He's had the surgery to fix it but I takes tome for it to fix itself (like, years). But there is a notable improvement since the start of the year and now. He even gets through some interviews without it playing up at all

The way of creating a nickname is simple.

Just add a Y to the end of their name.

Examples - Wattsy

- Howey

- Grimesy

- Clarky

Need I say more?...

[The Great One 99 125]

Hogan needs to be said " Hoogaaan". as said from Hogan's heroes. The older folks should know what I mean.

Paul Roos agrees with you.

I would love it if people casually referred to Dawes as 'Jim Morrison'.
