hardtack 11,107 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 I was silly enough to involuntarily volunteer myself to put up the bones of what will hopefully one day become something useful, on this forum. Yes, a comprehensive list of the nicknames of those players who occupy a position in the 2024 Players List. I’d like to see this pinned to the top of the forum, and not just for this year, but to go on for years to come. I cannot take all of the credit for this (in fact, I can take very little credit), as the list that has passed to me for the compilation of this final list, was created by the hard work of @WalkingCivilWar … I have rearranged it to be in alphabetical order and added the players numbers in brackets next to each name. EZPZ. Thanks WCW!! Anyone who knows the nicknames of players without one below, please feel free to pass it on or mention it in the comments, for inclusion. THE LIST: Jed Adams (26) - Jack Billings (14) - Jibba, JB, Jubba Jake Bowey (17) - Bowsa Angus Brayshaw (10) - Gus, Gussy Ben Brown (50) - BBB Kynan Brown (41) - Pup Kade Chandler (37) - Chin Kyan Farris-White (43) - Bayley Fritsch (31) - Fritta, Fritatta Tom Fullarton (33) - Cream Max Gawn (11) - Maxy Marty Hore (27) - Blake Howes (22) - Howesie, Halfway Howes Lachie Hunter (12) - Hunts Matthew Jefferson (21) - Jeffo Ed Langdon (15) - Lingers, Langers Bailey Laurie (16) - Bill Jake Lever (8) - Rick, Ricky Steven May (1) - Maysie Shane McAdam (23) - Tom McDonald (25) - Tmac Judd McVee (4) - Knuckles, Juddy Jake Melksham (18) - Melks, Melky, Milkshake Andy Moniz Wakefield (45) - Alex Neal-Bullen (30) - Nibbla, Nibs Clayton Oliver (13) - Claz, Clarrie Christian Petracca (5) - Tracc, Tracca Harrison Petty (35) - Petts Kysaiah Pickett (36) - Kozzy Trent Rivers (24) - Riv Christian Salem (3) - Salo Josh Schache (19) - Shaq, Diesel(?)

Mel Bourne 4,541 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Marty Hore doesn’t have a nickname? I have a few ideas I could pitch, but I think the best one is… Martin. 4 Quote
Ethan Tremblay 31,389 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 (edited) Verrall’s is ‘Anchorman’ Lachie Hunter is ‘Hunts’ Marty Hore is ‘Marty Hore’ Edited March 20, 2024 by Ethan Tremblay 2 Quote

We have a huge Marty Hore fan in the DA. She has a jumper with his number on the back and above the number is the word ‘Dirty’ making it Dirty Hore, with a silent W. 😅 idk if Dirty is his nickname, but it’s funny. Quote

Kev 10,926 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Heard Josh Schache being called Diesel. 2 Quote
Little Goffy 14,970 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Not a particularly creative set of names. And now I've gone on the internet looking up creative nicknames and will have nightmares tonight. Keep it simple. Keep. It. Simple. 3 Quote

I think it might have been coined by the deebrief boys along with the equally embarrassing Spargypants. 1 3 Quote
Adzman 2,154 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Matthew Jefferson is also nicknamed 'the magician'. Tom Fullarton's nickname at the Lions was 'fullcream' however I have no confirmation that it has carried over to the dees . 3 Quote
Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,690 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Thanks, @hardtack! Dem bones (dem bones, dem dry bones 🎶) could be enhanced - calling all 'Landers, not just you 🙂 - by signifying which are the names the boys use for eachother and which are 'ours', e.g. BBB, I think? And who'll step up with a girls list? 😮 1 Quote
Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,690 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Does #5 ever get 'Truck'? 1 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,864 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 friends of mine have specialised nicknames for some players... judd mcvee - chris (although apparently he doesn't like it) tom mcdonald - plugger (cos of his kickin action for goal and cos he can 'plug' any hole) taj woewoedin - woey 2.0 (for obvious reasons) ben brown - sideshow bob (cos of his former hairdo and the resemblance with a certain simpsons character) 1 1 Quote
MrFreeze 2,055 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Gussy was calling Jud, Knives McVee 1 Quote
Demon Jack 7,194 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Although it hasn't caught on (yet), I've been calling Matthew Jefferson 'Starship'. 3 1 Quote

I think it might have been coined by the deebrief boys along with the equally embarrassing Spargypants. You’re right. I added Milkshake because some folks on DL call him that. That’s the only time I hear it. As for Spargo, you’re right again. Nobody calls him SpargiPants. Except for me… to his face. 😅 I greeted him with “how’re going, SpargiPants?!” a couple of weeks ago and he was chuffed. Well, the corners of his mouth turned upwards about a micron (one 1-thousandth of a millimeter) which by his standard means he’s deliriously happy. 😝 Quote

Master Chief 81 Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 I have heard the players and coach refer to Viney as just VIN many times. Sounded funny to hear because he has just always been VINES to me. Are these nicknames in the OP confirmed as official nicknames and not just fan assumed nicknames? 1 Quote

La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137 Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 I refuse to accept that Oliver Sestan's nickname is Ollie. That's just his name, surely. Quote
