I think we can be a bit more imaginative than that Easty.

Or he would have but appeared to be manhandled of the stage before he could say anything.

AFL team supported? Richmond
AFL idol? Alex Rance
Biggest football influence? My dad, he has been there since the start and has a wealth of football knowledge. He has definitely been a big influence in my career.
Most annoying teammate? Brandon White
Funniest teammate? Lachlan Batten/Gach Nyoun
Nickname? Collo

Never would have picked that!

And on the subject of names, what is it with all the Bailey's around these days? Bailey Dale, Bailey Rice and now Bailey Williams.
As a teacher sometimes you see waves of names coming through. Courtney, Bree, etc etc.

If Bevo is already calling Adams The Specimen, there's no way that's not sticking.

Haha.
For Collins I like The Inevitable. It won't stick yet there does seem to me an historic imperative at work with the Western Bulldogs.
Shades also of Michael Collins, great Irish leader.

Actually, Bevmo (good one Redders) looks a bit like Sammy The Turk, who in the movie tells Chopper he's a Footscray fan shortly before Chopper ends the friendship. Never visit Bojangles Bevmo.

Not sure nicknames with too many syllables work - remember Bonti even has his nickname "The Future" shortened to simply "Fooch" around the club

Tend to agree. All the best nicknames are rhyming slang or shortened from longer phrases.

Kinda like "Twodogs":)

I vote for "Pig" being Suckling's nickname. Short and sharp. He couldn't have it at the Hawks cos that is Dunstall's nickname there.

Nope Barton Lynch the surfer. His nickname was Barton the Butterfly - I was going to suggest Butterfly for Lynch but maybe too cryptic.

If he develops into the type of Ruckman who drops back into defence (a la Scotty Wynd), will be able to sing our backs are girt by Goetz (to the tune of the national anthem)?

we coils pronounce it with a silent 'z' and be girt by Go-et.
