Played 8 games for the Hawks in 1968 and wore number 24

He is now a brickie down in the Mandurah area... quite an un-assuming chap he is.

Digby sounds like you should be yelling at him, "GET AROUND THE BACK YA MONGREL!!".

Chance sounds like a hooker's name.

lol

Willie Rioli (sure was a great player for Hawthorn)

Graham Johncock(a great young player for the Crows) always makes me laugh.

 

[Dogwatcher]

I play with a fellow named Jade, he is a ruckman and often has to go up against a fellow named Brooke. Funny thing is, both of them share the nickname Mumbles.

Also in my team this year there was Raphael, Jamahl and Dametrius.

A quick look through my Football Budget reveals that Jake, Josh and Jack are very popular names in under 15 ranks in the Riverland with around 13 players across the competition sharing these names.

There was also a Strat and a Dooley Lovegrove playing in the competition.

Played with a bloke named Rebel McCloy at one club when I was a kid, his brother's name was Jody.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Rochford Devenish-Meares and Llane Spaandermann are crackers.

There is a bloke who will be playing AFL in a couple of years from Gippsland called Jarryd Rougehead.

Simon Minton-Connell
Athas Hyrosolakas
Robert DiPierdomenico
Bohdan Jaworskj
Cyril Collard
Richard Champion
Cash Fitzgerald
Kenneth Bodger
Ernie Loveless
Artie Frecker
Sir Albert Chadwick
Archibald Leitch
Addis Priestly
Stuart Stewart
Clem Splatt

Koulouriotis.

If you say 'it' quickly you can really mess up, 'it' only has one syllable.

However if you say 'Koulouriotis' quickly and it sounds different you're mispronouncing it and need to be cured of your ineptness.

Wasn't there a collingwood listed player in the 80's called "Fretuiatartar"? Not sure of the spelling, so I have done it phoenetically. Can any Pies fans confirm the spelling? For that matter, can any Pies fans spell at all?

Fatui Atataa played for the Pies in the 80's. Cult status was accorded him on the basis of his name.

My God-son's first name is Raphael, (from the archangel along with Michael and Uriel) and its a fine strong name too. We call him by his middle name mostly.

I love the exotic nicknames better than the real ones. Can you name them all?

"Leeter", "Chicken", "Nuts", "God", "Soapy", "Ankletapper", "Hooker", "Doc", "Captain Blood", "Pants", "Kid", "Plugger", "Figjam", "Galaxy"(how cool was that one), "King D*ck", "Polly", "Flying Dutchman", "Rotten", "Duck", "Mr and Mrs football", "Flying doormat", "Daisy", "Nobby", "Freak", "Skeeter", "Butch", "Mopsy", "Snake", Smokey", "Woofer", "Basher" dozens of Reds and Blueys ahh its all legendary stuff.

 

[Whisky_McKay]

Andrew Tranquillie was always a good one. Played for Collingwood in the early ninties.
And what about Puggsley - something you would call your dog.

There is a fella who I think won the Reserves Best and Fairest at Essendon in the mid 90's, but, I know he played in the Essendon Reserves at least and his name was Winis Imbi. Also, how about former Dog and Essendon ruckman Ilija Grgic.
