Real-names and Nick-names

[Willie_Rioli]

John Platten … Rat … Horse

have never heard of the Rat being called the Horse

 

[Crock]

What was A Condon's nickname guys probably haven't spelt it right but he was a gun & wore the famous 3??

.

Heard him called “Sheath”

I agree with Oogac that Thommo was also known as Arab, but suspect this was a secondary nickname

Also heard Everitt called Parker (aka Peter Parker)

Whitecross : Swiss

And whilst not official, I think Michael Osborne has a resemblance to Tintin


Cheers

 

[Crock]

Whitecross : Swiss

The Swiss flag has a white cross on a red background!

(not sure that this has come from the playing group)

Pretty sure Darren Jarmans nick name was mutley.

 

[dutchy12]

Jesus Shoenmakers has some size about him.

I saw a photo of Jack Watts the other day and he's no where near as impressive.

All the best for 2010

 

[HAWKS HEROES]

[Big Snorky]

Luke Lowden.............Winnebago warrior!!!!!

 

[Hodgepodge]

Can we add the official nicknames to the Hawk Eye player thread titles?

i.e. Xavier 'goatboy' Ellis.

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Franklin = Emu (AC's a good enough source for me)
McGlynn = Hoops (courtesy of Vanders)
Kaylor-Thompson = Katie (K-T)

Maybe not players/coaching, but...

Roughead = Smoov. (or Smooth)
Savage = Macho Man.....
Taylor = Tall Jars (he's just a tall Darren Jarman)
Tuck = Audi (TT)

 

[noosa hawk mad]

Colin Robertson … Robbo (players nickname). Norm Smith Medalist 1983. We demolished Essendon that year will sticky thread Linda until the footy kicks of fantastic effort...

 

[Hawker_Ant]

Gary Ayres full moniker: Conan the Librarian... he used to work as a librarian's assistant.

Ben Allen: I think he was called Genius

Gary Buckenara: Buckets

Michael Tuck: also known as the Grand Old Man later on

Jade Rawlings: (and this is just me) Bignose

 

[Henry Jr]

Didn't the players refer to Crawford as 'Old Balls' in his final year.

Might even be on Robert Dickson's DVD.

Pretty sure the MMM boys made up this nickname because they used to say him and Roughy would destroy the nightclubs together - being 2 sexy blokes.

Close I think. Sadly for X, i think the MMM boys refer to him as the 'Night club specialist" as he is a bit less than desirable, and they feel he can only pull in the dark corners of a night club. Pretty funny when they go on about it though....poor X...

 

[jeffo]

Buddy is also called 'Emu'. Seems to be mainly used by Clarkson, and I assume because he reckons he looks like an emu running.

Pretty sure Clarko's wife gave buddy that name. I remember reading an interview with Clarko, and he said that his Missus reckons buddy runs like an Emu, so the name stuck.

 

[mess]

BTW, I call Renouf "The Roof" because it rhymes with Renouf, he's tall, and because of the whole "The Roof is on Fire!" song. Sounds mean now, but I'm sure it will take on a different slant later on in the season.

 

[killerspud]

I was wondering about a nickname for Stratton...how about

MovieShow

just a thought

 

[HawksILove]

Cyril Rioli (33) … Junior … Sizzle

also called MAGIC

 

[bunky]

Maybe a bit obvious.. but a couple from the Triple MMM team..

Sam Mitchell - The Extractor, Diesel..
Trent Croad - Glistening Thigh's, The athlete

 

[HAWKS HEROES]

[MikeBios]

"Bill" Clinton Young or "Likes em" Young
Grant "the Gooch" Birchall
"Tavis Truck"
Shane "Randy" Savage
Brad "Too Strong" Sewell
Campbell "Brown Dog"
Cyril "Rissole" Rioli
Xavier "Eggy" Ellis

 

[Bayer_]

Mark Williams was known by the playing group as "Choco" due to his namesake at Port.

Although my previous suggestion for Moss is unsubstantiated, I can confirm the playing group know him as "Mossy" (that's what they were yelling at him during the game at Ballarat).

 

[mrcurly]

I think 'Audi' would be a better nickname for Travis Tuck, Tucky is taken..

 

[HAWKS HEROES]

clarky ?

 

[TheWrench]

ive heard riley milne get muscles or gumby

 

[FairCall]

Taylor Duryea is "Doc" The younger players called him that after the rapper Dr Dre. I think if you pronounce the surname lazily as we aussies often do, then it sounds like Dre hence Doc. It now seems to have stuck and extended to most at the club. My Dad was speaking to a property steward and thats what he called him as well.
