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.
