Official Nickname Allocation Thread

[Charlie]

Well... I reckon the less said about that "performance" today, the better. So what I'm going to do is try to find a nickname for every player on our list. Obviously, many players already have nicknames... but some don't. Try to stay away from things like "Crouchy" or "Goodesy".

So... this is what we have:

Barry Hall: Bazza, BBBH
Nick Davis:
Jarrad McVeigh:
Ben Mathews:
Ryan O'Keefe: Isn't it "Rock"?
Craig Bolton:
Brad Seymour: Snapper
Daryn Cresswell: Cressa
Ben Fixter: Fixy is semi-common
Paul Williams: Willo
Stuart Maxfield: Maxi
Nic Fosdike: Fossie
Daniel McPherson: Frosty
Stephen Doyle:
Scott Stevens:
Tadhg Kennelly: Tiger
Michael O'Loughlin: Magic
Luke Ablett: Nog
Leo Barry: Leapin' Leo
Jason Saddington: Saddo
Matthew Nicks:
Jude Bolton: Jooba, Bolts
Andrew Schauble: Schaubes
Jason Ball:
Jared Crouch:
Mark Powell: Mullet
Lewis Roberts-Thompson: The Hyphen
Brett Kirk:
Amon Buchanan: Monty, Bucky
Rowan Warfe:
Daniel Hunt:
Jarred Sundqvist: Sunny
Adam Schneider:
Adam Goodes:
Luke Thewlis:
Nick Malceski:
James Meiklejohn:

I'll kick it off by suggesting "Hungry" for Schneider, as he seems to
love kicking goals as much as Bartlett did!

[robbieando]

McVeigh = Fuzzy
Doyle = Sicknote
Nicks = Waste of Space
Warfe = Same as above
Kirk = Captain
Hunt = Witch

[penga]

how about for goodes:

adam goodes: cant kick goals, cant catch marks.... either could be aprpriate

[liz]

Why aren't Crouchy and Goodsie acceptable if Sunny, Fossie, Willo, Maxie, Cressa, Schaubs, Saddo etc are?

[Charlie]

"Crouchy" I guess has been used enough over the years to count as a nickname.... "Goodesy" is something I haven't heard very often.

Yeah good pick up , goodes has been in a bout half a dozen or so marking situations in the last fortnight where he has done all the hard work in positioning yet fumbles an easy mark for an afl player, he can take the big ones yet fumbles these, to lazy and for those shots at goal in the last qtr today...well dont even get me started on those!

[NMWBloods]

Gerard Healey likes to call him "Goody Two Shoes".

i think all this brownlow talk has gone to his head and he is tryin to be too tricky, one handed takes and the sorts, i found that the most frustrating thing all day, oh i mean 2nd most frustrating to Rowan 'GAWN' Warfe

[Swansinger]

Well if we have "Schaubs" and "Bolts" maybe we could have "Balls"?

Warfe could be "Commander".

I didn't like the poor taste suggestion of "Bomber" for Mc.Veigh.

Craig Bolton could be "OMAHA" -
Out Muscled And Hardly Aggresive.

[Mike_B]

Some others that I might be able to add/have heard used....

Nick Davis: Nicky D
Jarrad McVeigh: Sideshow Bob (go the hair)
Ryan O'Keefe: Pebbles (as in little ROK)
Ben Fixter: Bob (the Builder, can he FIX it)
Lewis Roberts-Thompson: Lewie (This is what the players call him, apparently the Hyphen is something that has come from the media)
Brett Kirk: Captain

[Charlie]

I can't believe I overlooked "Captain" Kirk.

[desredandwhite]

What a lot of crap Penga, the bloke was our best player again today. Start bagging a few of the others before taking the terps out of our best player.

[NMWBloods]

Oh hang on - I had assumed you were talking about Warfe, but now I realise (hope!) it was Goodes. Mea culpa.
