Players nicknames – A Glossary.
So, there’s a lot of nicknames for players being bandied around these days.
It’s been suggested that we open a thread so that we can consolidate them all.
I’ll start it off with some of the more popular nicknames:
Tom Rockliff: The rock lobster, the lobster
Cyril Rioli: Delicious.
Robert Relton: The commentators dream
Alwyn Davey: Jack Rabbit
Alan Didak: Bang bang, Diddles
David Mundy: Crab
Brett Peake: Brett Potato
Mark Seaby: Captain Ahab
Alex Silvagni: SNOS, SCOSOS
Nick Malcesci: Eski, Malsexi
So, it’s started off- now it’s your turn! If we come up with enough, I’ll see if I can’t hook up some kind of directory.
Brett Ebert – No neck
Clinton Jones – Surfer
Nathan Eagleton – 1/10 asian
Leigh Brown – Shit
Gary Ablett – Garju (Gary Junior)
Cameron Mooney – BHC
Current players:
)
Jesus: Gazza
Clinga/Clingy: Cam Ling
Tomahawk/Toma: Tom Hawkins
Therapist: Milney/Lovett
Chip: James Frawley
Sbel (skillful, but extremely lazy): Travis Johnstone
SNOS: I read your reference blizzrd, but it’s a respect issue, any cousin of Steve (SOS) is a nephew of Serge. Hence, the second cousin of SOS (SCOSOS) is SNOS (second nephew of Serge), my granddad doesn’t say I’m the son of my son, he says I’m his grandson.
Former players:
Rupture: Barry Mitchell (4 his injury of a ruptured testicle)
Biter1: Wayne Schwass (sry, I’m sure he just got a hair from his opponents arm caught between his teeth, as shown in the footage/photo)
Biter2: Peter Filandia (sry, I’m sure he accidently ended up with his opponents testicle in his mouth, SOMEHOW!!)
Add SS to Tom Hawkins nicknames, it stands 4 shit scared (that Pods will steal my spot & I’ll become trade bait)
Jesus JJ…good work son!!!!!
Ling’s real nickname is yuk
and selwood is bunnings
Jobe Watson – Jobi wan kanobi
@Craig M
Cheers mate, I understand your drift. But I think you’ll find that there is no such thing as a second nephew. The term doesn’t actually officially exist, although we can all understand what it should mean (if it actually existed that is).
My missus is an English teacher. Sue me if this sort of things has rubbed off along the way (with apologies).
Relton Roberts – Scooby (sounds like how scooby do would say a name)
Sidebottom – Bottom-arse.
Higgins – Henry.
Oldies but goodies
Rod Carter – Tilt.
Jim Jess – The Ghost.
Paul Bullus – Hit (thanks Rex Hunt)
podsiadly- i heard the i-pod floating around
Matthew Kreuzer – Humphrey
Wojinski – Monica
@Blizzrd
No idea how to link sites, but check out http://www.kinshipchart.com. My mum’s in some genealogical society & bores me to tears about my family tree
aah, it links automatically, that’s pretty cool
Rhys Palmer – Chicken
Cruezer – Vodka
@Craig M
That very link proves that second nephew is a made up term by the author of the site, clearly someone who doesn’t prefer the existing definitions which all use cousin, 2nd cousin and various levels of ‘removed’.
I trust that you did read it rather than just google it? Because I couldn’t have come up with a cleaner way of proving my point that you found!
To put this one to bed, just because someone posted a table on the internet doesn’t make it correct. A quick google search will reveals no sites which define the term “second nephew” as appropriate. Second nephew does not exist, it is a made up term. Repetition of a mistake by bloggers on the internet doesn’t make it any more correct.

@Blizzrd
Your dead right champ, I didn’t read the article & just scanned down to the table. Pretty stupid of me to do that & post a blog blindly, so I apologise
However, after consulting mum (which wasn’t as painful as I thought, lol), she assures me that Alex is Sergio’s second cousin. Therefore, I’m going with SCOS (second cousin of Serge) out of respect for Serge being the original Silvagni to play VFL/AFL. No hard feelings, I enjoyed the debate
Genea”LOGICAL”?? I don’t see how it’s logical that Alex has the same relationship with both Steve & Serge, lol.
no better oldie than Bruce Doull, the flying doormat, or the incredible hulk, Rene Kink
Not sure if this has been said:

Good times Craig M.

Josh Kennedy – JK
Shannon Hurn – The Hurn-Child
Daniel Kerr – The Nugget, The Magnetic Nugget

Steele Sidebottom – rusty bum, steelo
Nick Maxwell – the wall
Josh Fraser – you’re joshing
Dayne Beams – Jim, bourbon boy
Stephen Milne – physio (as in physio-the-rapist as in physiotherapist), rat features
surely Seaby would just be “Radio”?
Bloody mum, let me down miserably, after checking wikianswers & the victorian genealogical society, I discovered Alex is actually the 1st cousin, once removed of Serge. So I was wrong with SNOS, I was wrong with SCOS, but am 200% sure he is FCOROS (first cousin once removed of Serge). Also 200% sure my mum is senile, but I still love her
judd = juddernaut
Shannon Byrnes : Magic Man (it’s one of those ironic nicknames cos he is just plain poo!!!!!)
Sam Mitchell : The Butcher (cant kick, cant handball)
Milne : Wankface (cos he’s a wanker)
Bloody hell this is a lot of nicknames!
I’ve got a new feature where you can enter a players nickname on their players page. It will enter it into a moderators queue for me to moderate. I’ll try to get most of the ones from this post into it, but man- there’s a lot! You guys are awesome!
