Nicknames
Nicknames
I read somewhere (not sure if Bombertalk or somewhere else) that Carlton supporters had taken to calling Nick Stephens "KD" after singer KD Lang ('cos he refuses to pick up a man!)
It got me thinking about what nicknames some of you may have for past or present Bomber players. I'm not talking about the 'official' nicknames of the players such as 'Fish' Salmon or 'Bomber' Thompson; I'm talking more along ones you and your mates have made up, eg:
Damien Peverill "Pills" - you can't get that ugly without taking ugly pills. (Note, he took over this nickname from Alan Ezard).
Damien Hardwick "Throbber" - Hard wick = throbber. Sometimes also known as blue vein. Same reason.
Sean Denham "Foetus" - Cos he looked like one
Hopefully you get the drift. I'll have a chat to my mates and see what other gems lie in the closets of the Windy Hill outer.

Solomon was the Scarecrow - had no brain.
Mark Bolton is Gretel, as in Gretel Killeen - completely devoid of talent.
Jobe Watson is the Placid Mule - can't kick.
Somerville was 'Honeymoon', as in he was about as useful as a spare dick therein.
