Re: 2016 player nicknames

Do we want to know why?

Shall we leave it at that he could be a recurring boy friend character in Sex and the City?

Joel Hamling is always Hamlet to me.

Caleb Daniel is The Sontaran (ref: Dr Who).

I have been happy to adopt The Woodchopper ('Chopper for short) for Redpath (channel 7 commentators), likewise The Package for Jake Stringer.

Napoleon and Pedro for Wallis and Liberatore.

Daniels - wee man (dwarf from Jackass)
Redpath - Big Red
Hamling - Hammer
Stevens - Straight lines (no peripheral vision, so he's better if he just runs in straight lines. A bit cruel I know but somehow it has stuck with amongst mates)
Stringer - Jakey, Package, beast, freak
Bontempelli - The Bont, OMG, and sometimes just silence because words can't describe what I just saw.
Suckling - Pig, piggy
Wood - Clint
McLean - Knackers (Thanks Ozza, I can't wait to use it when he returns from injury)
Webb - Spider
Minson - Mince

Some silly ones in there but I often go silly at the footy

Shane Biggs - Ronnie

Apart from Sweet Jesus for Honeychurch, which Ozza mentioned, we also refer to him as Bees Knees (as in position when praying).

And for Hamling "Hamlet".

And have used Ghimli or Mighty Mouse for Caleb. I do hope he is OK with these assorted nicknames - I wonder how much the players hear from the sidelines, if he was offended in any way it would be horrible. Such a talent....so wonderful to have on our list.

For those who do not look at big footy website, there is a great thread title for our wonderful Caleb. I find it funny, although not politically correct - as in possibly offensive to short people. Title has been modified recently to be opposite of original and had a chuckle at this too. One poster over there loves Caleb and calls him Little Diego...

I'm not claiming any credit - should have made that clear, sorry - there was a great thread here a few years ago complete with separated at birth comparison photos - that's where I picked it up.

Tory Dickson - One eyed Dick (my young nephew getting confused with Dead eye dick) so now its one eyed dick.

I like "Who's House? Dahlhaus".

I call Matty Boyd "Bucks" due to his ~3 years of cosplaying as him when he was captain.

That's a long time.

Boyd's 30 metre stab pass bullets were very Buckley-esque, except for the hitting targets part. Good to see his bullet pass addiction only rears its head once or twice every few weeks now.
