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.

They were so low they didn't even get off the ground.

I see some of the passes he pulls off today and think 'why did you never do this when you we getting 40 touches a game?'

Brereton's description of Libba as "Horshack" is still a ripper.

The constant references and jokes about Caleb Daniel's height irk me, but not enough to keep me from going "Halfman" like he's actually Tyrion on the Blackwater every time he gets the ball.

See Post number 32.

Horsack was a character on a TV show from the 1970s called Welcome back Kotter, which also starred John Travolta

That is the one and only Arnold Horshack from the 70's Tv show, Welcome Back Cotter.

Re: 2016 player nicknames

Last year in one of Toby McLean's early games, he ran to the 50 for a shot at goal and my old man was searching for his name....and forgetting 'Toby'...exclaimed "Knackers McLean!!!" as Toby kicked the goal.

For whatever reason, that has stuck a bit for us, and I've laughed hearing other people in our area at home games lauding the efforts of "Knackers".

So for a very unofficial nickname.....I submit Knackers McLean.

Others we subscribe to are;

Suckling = Piggy or The Pig.
Caleb Daniel = just "Little Bloke!" (but always in an appreciative way!)
Honeychurch = SWEET JESUS!
Hamling = Hammer

And Adcock is called "ROCKLIFF!!" with us on account of a friend getting the names wrong.

That's quality Dad brand.

Could say the same for Libber... How about the extractor and the tractor ?
