AFL top 100: Sydney nicknames 40 to 21

Most of the nicknames came from the early days when the club was known as South Melbourne and played at Albert Park. They relocated to Sydney in 1982.

2022 AFLW: Round 2 statistical forecasts

Long-time readers might probably remember me as that Yank who stays up all night on Fridays and Saturdays to watch footy from half a world away to provide informed statistical analyses for you via the organisation Following Football, which covers all things football-related.

2022 AFLW: Round 2 preview

Round 2 of the AFL Women’s season is upon us, and it’s a strange sight to see reigning premiers Brisbane Lions sitting in last place on the ladder.

The Gold Coast Suns have to prove that they have more character and resilience than they showed in season 2021, where they finished 16th.

As I mentioned in my earlier article, AFL top 100: Nicknames by clubs, the “younger” clubs have been lacking in well-known nicknames, so composite lists have been necessary.

Trade and draft review: Suns quietly consolidate

The 2021 version of the Suns took about two quarters before it started looking a little less shiny and filled with hope, as Matt Rowell copped another tight tag and was intentionally injured for the second straight game having been rubbed out in a similar dirty tackle in 2020.

AFL Top 100: Western Bulldogs nicknames 24 to 1

While the Western Bulldogs list was much shorter than Melbourne’s (due in part to 28 years less VFL/AFL history) it had a number of nicknames that deserved to be on the expanded list of 24.

As North Melbourne have the second youngest list on average, with an average age of 23.5 per player going into AFL season 2022, the expectations of them shouldn’t be too high for the upcoming season.

Trade and draft review: Cats churn bottom of list

Geelong’s season wasn’t without its ups and downs, but at halftime of the final game of the home-and-away season they must have thought they had secured the minor premiership, only for the Demons to roll over them in the final quarter.

Fremantle had the kind of year that promised a lot and then fizzled at the end, as injuries crippled their late-season run, although silver linings could be found everywhere you looked in the postmortem.

The 20 to 1 list includes a number of common nicknames that turned up regularly. Rather than lump them all together, I have highlighted each player who earned the name over the last 125 years.

However, you like to judge your nicknames, ‘Crackers’ Keenan is just a good sound combination to me.
