The first four played their careers in the 70's & 80's and the last one in the 90's & 00's.
I know I went Raines earlier, but I am going try his mate Mike Richardson for Pretty Boy -

Pretty Boy could be anyone haha!
The Skunk was Caracella! Loved the way he played...
Trout was in 85 as Tony Elsaugh.
Speedball was Shane Heard?
Rattler - Greg Perry
Geez you're doing well!
The Skunk was indeed Caracella. Coined by Mark Harvey I believe for the way Caracella used to find space with no-one around him!
Elshaug is correct and so too Shane Heard!
Rattler is someone else I'm thinking of.....

I'll have to accept Gossy's answer of Greg Perry (who was known as Rattler). But I'll keep the other one open.
The other Rattler didn't play many games for the Bombers. He is a premiership player with another club and played most of his games in 1983 for the Bombers. He is well known for two incidents that season.

Yes, well done on both counts SD.
Bad luck there Windy, you should have gone with Raines again!
Cameron Clayton famously removed Bruce Doull's headband either R22 or the Elimination Final in 1983. Buhagiar then threw it into the crowd. Rattler also busted Dipierdomenico's nose at Windy Hill in retribution for the earlier clash where Dipper knocked Stoneham's eye out at Glenferie Oval.

Clues for the other two;
Cracker played in the mid 90's. Played less than 5 games. Mark Harvey also coined his nickname.
Harold played mid 70's to 1980. Solidly built player who could play midfield / half forward.

The only guy I can think of who played less than 5 games in the mid 90s is Matthew Banks, so I'll guess that.
Aaron Francis is the Messiah.
