This may have been done to death but to start the ball rolling a few I have of course

Robert Murphy - Bohemian Bob
Callan Ward - Emergency
Farran Ray - Mercat :)
 
Peter Street- Combie Man.

My wife remarked once that Streety doesn't look, move or appear to be anything like any other AFL footballer.
At this stage his hair was quite longish and she said that he 'looks like he should be smoking dope and driving a Combie Van around Nimbin'.

So I have always referred to him as Combie.:)
 
A few that come to mind, not really any specific reason for them probably just easier to yell at the game.

Ryan Hargrave- Ry Ry
Jarrod Harbrow-Jazza
Adam Cooney- Coo Coo
Ben Hudson- Big Ben
Wil Minson - Big Wil

Probably just a coincidence, but that's what my two-year-old grandson calls them as well. ;)
 
Murph = Smurph (was "Papa smurph" when Brad Murphy was also in the team)
Everitt = Charlotte (tenuous link, but his brother is spider and charlotte's web featured a spider :eek:)
Hahn = Truck (cos that's what the guy who sits behind me calls him)
Griffen = Terr-if (cos of that person who has that "terrif-griff" sign)
Lake = Lakeman (it sounds territorial, much like how he carries himself in the backline)
 
Welsh = Dicko (can't anyone else see the similarity?)

My favourite real nicknames the players use are "House" for Murphy and "Flounder" for Griff. Still laughing at those two.
 
Apart from the obvious ones:
Lake will always be Harris in the heat of the moment.
I call Stephen Tiller Ben too, and draw some strange looks.
Also, Morris = glove for me too.

Everitt = Junior Senior. (Junior Everitt, Senior skill)
Robert Murphy = Bob, Rob, murph or "awesome, just awesome"
Mitch Hahn - tractor or Mitchy boy.
Farren Ray - Fez or Faz.
 
We call:

Farren Ray: Feret
Harbrow: Little Kostya
Higgins: Missy
Minson: Big Willie
Hahn: Premium Light
Griffen: The Griff ir Griffo
Addison: Dylo
Cooney: The Cheese
Street: Haywire (from prison break)
Wight: OH NO
 
Hargrave - shaga
Gia
Boydy
B.J
