    What's in a Nickname?

    Please help!
    As a new poster and having not been to a game in 3 years - would love it if someone updated me on the teams' nicknames...just so I know who everyone is referring to....
    Actually - nickname and why (for the more obscure one's)

          I'm glad someone asked about the nicknames as I wasn't sure about them all.
          My friends and I refer to Malceski as Chilly bin...it started out as esky and became Chilly bin as one of my friends is a kiwi.
          Excuse my ignorance but Pebbles? is it something to do with the Flintstones? Please explain!
          Bring it on!

                  What the hell is this "Chilli Bin" thing?? A mate is known as Chilli, a Kiwi, and we have absolutely no idea why??
                  - Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing!

                      It actually goes back to when we had both Ryan O'Connor and Ryan O'Keefe playing. Cos ROC was the older and more senior of the two at the time he was ROC and ROK had to be pebbles to avoid confusion.

                          ROK = Pebbles - Ah the penny drops! a blonde moment!
                          A chilly bin is what kiwis call an esky.
