Players Nicks

[deefa]

I call Lynch- "Barge"

and (sadly), i now refer to Cuzzy as "sniffles".

 

[Alphanumeric]

Chris Waterman.

Correct

 

[Impunity!]

Who can tell me why Embers' nickname is "Whack"?

1st one in wins a prize (a hug)

 

[Eagles Gal]

Brett Heady was Jobby.

Why I wonder???? Just joking

 

[Fledgling]

all the other obvious one are correct - eg: juddy, brauny, kerry, etc - i'm sure they have others but

I think it's most accurately spelled as "Kerr-ee" (that's how they spelled it on Offsiders anyway) otherwise it ends up being Kerry as in Kerry O'Brian.

 

[Frizzo]

Every time I think Brett Jones, I think BJ, then Gobby.

I like Gobby.

 

[Kentacula]

Any West Caost Eagles supporters wanting to be drafted a player please go to the West Coast Eagles forum and then go to the nest and go into the first thread called West Coast Eagles draft or something like that and leave your name.

cheers

he's called whack because back in the day the other players used to think he used to go a bit whacko...

source: andrew embley himself - interview in ralph magazine

ps: apparently cuz has a new nick name for wirra now, wirra is supposedly very political these days so he calls him 'nelson' - i'm assuming after nelson mandela... guess thats more of an in-house one

 

[EagleMan87]

Interesting comment from Cuz (or you), but Wirra has been variously called 'Prince' or 'King' (either of which is at best a poor translation) but he is nonetheless considered 'royalty' amongst his people.

Good for him.

hmm that reminds me, was it wirra that was called 'prince of the pocket'?

bugger me if i can remember, but it sounds appropriate - pretty sure he was mentioned to have been what would be the equivalent of aboriginal royalty...

can anyone confirm?

No, Scott Chisholm was the Prince of Pockets. He was supposedly related to the British royal family or something.

Anyway, I actually bumped this thread to come up with some new nicknames for players for the start of the season, particularly the newer players.

LeCras: Frenchy
S.Selwood: Gunns
Brown: Leroy
Ebert: Bertie

and of course

Josh "THE FRIDGE" Kennedy

Any others?

 

[Biggie]

Fumbles McGee.

Brent Staker.

Scott Selwood, aint he Scooter?

Gnight all.

ALL HAIL THE FRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GrimeyStain]

My mates and I call Hansen "The H Bomb" depending on how the night is going depends on whether an air raid siren starts up.

 

[Eagle_Fan]

No, the late Scott Chisholm was the Prince of Pockets. He was supposedly related to the British royal family or something.

Scotty Chisholm was the Prince of the Pocket, but it was Gary Dhurrkay who was killed a few years ago. Apologies if Chisholm has also passed away.

Whoops, yes it was Dhurrkay I was thinking of. He died in a car crash in the NT.
