Title: Nicknames
Post by: retygas on June 21, 2007, 08:44:56 AM: I hate to sound so stupid but I know I am :banghead. I really hardy read much apart from on here about our team. And some time get a little lost with the nicknames and I don't know who you all are talking about. So for me the uneducated one could someone please put down the player with their nickname along side so I will write them down so I will always know. I have worked out a few but some I'm in the dark with. :gotigers

Sad how even in a light hearted thread some can't help themselves but stick the boot in

Whats sad is this.
Guys like Brown negotiate over the top contracts and dont deliver.
His efforts on Saturday were pee poor.
Got pushed off the ball too easy, he is gawn
I agree Brown is gone, he's been on my delist/trade list since the start of the year
I wouldn't say he's negotiated an over the top contract though as he took a significant paycut after his injury, he admitted as much in the media.
Still not sure why it needs to be brought up in a nicknames thread

Post by: one-eyed on January 07, 2017, 04:49:10 PM: Top draft picks given new nicknames at AFL clubs

Herald Sun
January 6, 2017

WHEN a fresh-faced recruit arrives at an AFL club, there is a process that must be followed.

The draftee is assigned a jumper number and a locker. And a nickname.

The nicknames handed out to some of last year’s top draft picks reveal the creativity of their teammates — in most cases, anyway.

RYAN GARTHWAITE (RICHMOND) — DARYL

The Tigers’ final pick at No. 72 in the draft was quickly initiated into footy club culture, with ‘Garth Vader’ an early nickname before Jack Riewoldt came up with the reference to singer Daryl Braithwaite.
