I bring this up as a lot of people around me at the football have no idea who I am cheering for when yell the name Nibbler or Chunk.
I also have a new name for the number 21 Pederson so we don't have to be cheering out go Pedo....

how about "The Cardinal"

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!

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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,
