    Help with nicknames?

    Although I'm an OLD South Melbourne/Sydney Swans supporter, I'm very new at this RWO stuff. Can someone give me a rundown of the RWO player nicknames? I don't need the obvious ones like "Magic" but clarification of names like B1 and B2 would be much appreciated. Sorry to sound like the new kid in school!

      Thought this would be better off in a thread of its own.

      Everyone has their own nicknames, though B1 and B2 are pretty widely understood, at least on here.

      The refer to the Bolton "brothers" - with more than a passing nod to the Bananas in Pyjamas. I think most interpret B1 as Jude and B2 as Craig, simply because Jude was at the club first. But I am sure some use the labels the other way around.

          Thanks Liz. I thought I knew most of the Blood's nicknames but some of the ones used here on RWO have stumped me. Any other RWO based nicknames I need to know?

              I've been on RWO since it started and there are still some nicknames that get me. Some people seem to make them up as they go along.

                  The funniest thing is when someone comes along with some bizarre nickname for a player that no-one here has heard of and they are genuinely surprised when no-one understands who they are talking about

                      rokster is actually a nickname for ROK Lobster
                      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                                  His real nickname is 'Princess Mary' - or at least where my mates and I sit.

                                  After all, you've gotta honour the rare individual who has notched up a princess.
                                  'Delicious' is a fun word to say

                                      I knew he was a man about town, but there's something I didn't know about the Lobster.
