Nicknames to fill in time

Featured Replies

For something to fill the time during the social separation why don't we start never ending threads on the well known nicknames for past and present players.

I will start with

Froggy - Neil Crompton premiership player and goal sneak.

Please add your own and keep this rolling. We might need it for some time.

    Hollywood - David Cordner. Given to him because he smoked Peter Stuyvesant cigarettes which supposedly all the film stars did at the time.

    Rhino - Russell Richards

    Bobby - Mark Withers

    Circum - Greg Sizer

    Franken - Jim Stynes (supporters called him this and he hated it)

    Sticky Fingers - Steven Icke

    Sugar - Greg Healy

    Please don't use them all at once. This thread may have to last a few weeks.

    OK, we're all a bit bored here so, further to that Peter Marquis post and veering completely off topic, I've gone the extra mile and come up with a cricket team for your consideration.

    In batting order, they are Nathan Jones, David Hasselhoff, Sid Vicious, Shane MacGowan, Waylon Smithers, Peter Marquis, Damien Monkhorst, Bill Dunk, Lou Reed, Colin Miller and Scarlett Johansson.

    Or, if you prefer, Chunky, Hunky, Punky, Drunky, Flunky, Trunky, Monkey, Dunky, Junky, Funky and Spunky.  Phew!

    How about 'Fuchsia' for perhaps the greatest of them all?

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
