I can’t quite put my finger on why, but the name “Hombsch” is extremely satisfying to say out loud

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Mitchell Lewis not that funny by itself, but amusing when you consider who we lost the year he was drafted.

Graham Wright is a joker !!!

 

[Rance2Mewtwo]

Relton Roberts in a Scooby Doo voice.

Cracks me up every time.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Wasnt there a Ben Johnson running around as well?

Misty Hyman still my favourite, but only came in 8th. Some stiff competition.

Tokyo Sexwale deserved better than last.

 

[The old campaigner]

Has anyone mentioned Fanny Schmelling yet?

Relton Roberts in a Scooby Doo voice.

Cracks me up every time.

Relton Roberts? Ruh-roh!

 

[LeakyValve]

I am surprised that list included David Seaman in lieu of the old times British racer champ Richard Seaman.

Dr Whet Faartz is truly world class.

 

[Snuggles]

Wasnt there a Ben Johnson running around as well?

Yep add him too . Dale Thomas was also a dick - does that count ?

 

[Boomerfan99]

In regards to Moe Lester, what does "slipping away from us" mean?

 

[captain cotch 9]

Has anyone mentioned Fanny Schmelling yet?

Barry Hall did didnt he?

 

[Plat]

Ben and Sam Reid - spelt different to read.

Aaron Sandilands - Assuming Sandilands is some derivative of a middle eastern family tree thousands of years ago. That's pretty funny.

 

[Fritz Waxer # 4]

Favourite 3 of all time
Willie Dick from the Bombers
Chicken Smallhorn 1933 Brownlow Medalist

[Mr Pie]

Yoshie Takeshita. Volleyball player is one of my favs.

Wasn't there a greyhound called Cunning le Angus?

Footy player i like Wippen Toody.

I know that's not his actual name, just like saying Wippen Toody.

 

[Hobbes]

Richard head

This one was actually known as "Dick". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Head_(footballer)

 

[Roddy]

There was a Richmond player (I think he played for at least one other club too) back in the 80s called 'Neil Peart', which is the name of my favourite drummer, and the drummer in my all time favourite band, the Canadian prog rock trio Rush.

 

[IluvHarvey]

There was a Greyhound a few years back called Norma Stitz.
IIRC there was a race where the caller started with "Norma stitz bounced out well"

 

[riffraff]

Geewadda Wankar
Wadayameen Wasi

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Hawks have an academy kid coming through:

Irvin Mosquito

So looking forward to Der-wayne doing his pre-game unfunny lines prep and writing down:

"Must include Mosquito buzzing around the packs."

 

[Jukesy85]

Former Claremont ruckman (and teacher at my high school) Andrew Ruck

Or former West Perth, West Coast, and Footscray player Robbie West

7 letters and only one vowel? Weird.
