I'll say it again, the most simple alternative is 'Pedders' 

Been suggesting this for the last four years, haha.

Nibbler- Neale-Bullen

Chunk- Jones

I hope that clears it up. 

The cardinal is a decent name for Pedo!

Yeah " the Cardinal " would feel like he's on trial too !

Heard Frost being called Optimus prime by some of the players

I had to look it up. From Wikipedia (so it must be true...)

"Optimus Prime (formerly Orion Pax) is a fictional character from the Transformers franchise. Optimus Prime is consistently depicted as having strong moral character, excellent leadership, and sound decision-making skills, and possesses brilliant military tactics, powerful martial arts, and advanced alien weaponry. Optimus Prime has a strong sense of honor and justice, being dedicated to building peaceful and mutually beneficial co-existence with humans, the protection of life and liberty of all sentient species."

Based on the above the players must think Frost has one or more of the following characteristics:

  • strong moral character
  • excellent leadership
  • sound decision-making skills
  • possesses brilliant military tactics
  • has powerful martial arts skills
  • has advanced alien weaponry.

Or, the players are being deliberately ironic and he has none of them.

Or, that he's 'transformed' from being a crap forward.

In my very mediocre suburban football career in the 70's I was, in my last year nicknamed "Crasher" and a lot of opposition players were quite apprehensive at the start of every game as to who they were dealing with. I was given the Crasher moniker because I had stacked and written off another player's car in the off season! And how I did that is another storey.

Optimus Prime, whilst also the leader, is the biggest and strongest of the Autobots (good guy transformers). I don't think it's any deeper than he is a fair specimen.

Maybe he's a robot in disguise...

So I dug a little deeper into Transformers lore. Optimus is a red and blue fellow originally from the synthetic orange planet of Unicron, which employs the help of the Decepticon$ - led by Optimus's former mentor and now sworn enemy Mega-tom, a corrupted robot who had betrayed his original creator 'Primus'.

Either the players have too much time on their hands or I do.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
