Nicknames

[Twodogs]

And now the serious business of allocating nicknames for the new draftees.

[Eastdog]

Dunks for Josh Dunkley

[LostDoggy]

Hulkster or The Thing for Marcus,
KC and the Sunshine Band for Kieran,
Agree with Easty-Dunks or Dunkster or SOD for Josh and
Irish for Bailey for me.:p

[comrade]

Papa for Collins. Looks like a dad.

Hulk is a good one for Adams.

[whythelongface]

Maxwell Smart for Marcus Adams
KC and the Sunshine Band for Kieran Collins
Shaq for Dunkley

[SlimPickens]

PHIL- for KC
Brutus- for Marcus Adams

[Throughandthrough]

Bailey Williams. Nickname is the very boring Bails. Needs work

[Twodogs]

Dunks for Josh Dunkley


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



Maxwell Smart for Marcus Adams
KC and the Sunshine Band for Kieran Collins
Shaq for Dunkley

I like Shaq. It's very imaginative.

[SonofScray]

Donuts. Dunkley.

[GVGjr]

Apparently the coach refers to Adams as 'The Specimen'

[LostDoggy]

Maxwell Smart for Marcus Adams

Could he be our first No.86?

[Twodogs]

Apparently the coach refers to Adams as 'The Specimen'

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

[Ghost Dog]

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.

[LostDoggy]

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

[comrade]

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

I'm pretty sure Bevo's moustache broke the system.

[bornadog]

The 1970's porno look. :D

[Mofra]

Apparently the coach refers to Adams as 'The Specimen'
The Package & The Specimen.
Sounds like we're running a weird 50s mad scientist lab

[Greystache]

The Package & The Specimen.
Sounds like we're running a weird 50s mad scientist lab

Or an Essendon drug program.

[Remi Moses]

Little Jerry Seinfeld for Dunkley. Dad looks like Jerry

No taste is as bad as public taste.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

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.

Marcus Adams - Lurch,Gomez or Wild Thing ;)

[Twodogs]

They probably clocked the mo and thought "this blokes not supposed to be here, get him off the stage"

[Happy Days]

Little Jerry Seinfeld for Dunkley. Dad looks like Jerry

Winner. Or maybe "Rooster".

[Ghost Dog]

Marcus Adams - Lurch,Gomez or Wild Thing ;)

Redders why do you have Chopper Reid as your Avatar?? Shiester, never knew he was a Dogs man.

[LostDoggy]

Chopper Reid --- Aka--- Bevmo ;)

[LostDoggy]

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

[always right]

Grisly Adams

[Twodogs]

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

Kinda like "Twodogs":)

[Avoid the rush]

Collins.........has to be JACK
Adams.........GOMEZ
Williams.......our 2nd Bailey..B2

[Smads57]

Heard the players referring to Suckling as Suckers this morning at the open training.

Nice effort

We can do better than that. We've got all summer.

[Bulldog4life]

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.

Yes. I like it a lot.

[whythelongface]

The Poet for Goetz
Barton for Bradley Lynch
Jedi for Jed Adcock

[Twodogs]

The Poet for Goetz
Barton for Bradley Lynch
Jedi for Jed Adcock


The drummer from the Models?

[Twodogs]

The Poet for Goetz
Barton for Bradley Lynch
(Return of the)Jedi for Jed Adcock


Edited for accuracy.;)

[whythelongface]

The drummer from the Models?

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

[Twodogs]

Now that I think about the guy from the Models was called Barton Price.

[Happy Days]

Collins and Adams = Fat Joe and Big Pun

[Danny the snakeman]

Collins - dictionary or dic for short
Adams - ant.
Dunkley- Slam

[Twodogs]

Collins and Adams = Fat Joe and Big Pun


The heavy mob.

[whythelongface]

Collins.........has to be JACK
Adams.........GOMEZ
Williams.......our 2nd Bailey..B2


I like B2.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

By the Bye, I think the correct pronunction for "Goetz" is 'Gertz'.

Getz in my house.

[LostDoggy]

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)?

[Twodogs]

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

[craigsahibee]

Goetz - "Bernie"
New York's Subway Vigilante

Bailey Williams is now commonly known as "horse" at the Kennel. Could be worse

It's one of the better nicknames.
