There are surprisingly few odd names on the Collingwood Players list. There have been ten SMITHs (Andrew, Archie, Basil, Bradley, Clyde, Doug, Fred, Greg, Les, and Ron), ten WILLIAMSes (Alan, Andrew, George, John, Ken, Lloyd, Mark Marley, Paul, and Roy), but only four JONESes (Bill, Harry, Horrie, and Raymond). It seems we're not keeping up with the Joneses... (Couldn't resist that. Sorry.)
A few names that always made me look twice: Rene Kink, Herbert Cock, Con Britt, and Kirk Ugle. |

Port Adelaide had a player back in its SANFL days whose name was Dave Granger. He was a fairly violent player and was nick-named Grave Danger.

Another good one.
Doedee and Buzza should be Collingwood players.

Would Kane Tenace and Farren Ray be the subject of as much derision if their name was Smith?
Well, we had a Brad Smith who was some sort of replacement for Damien Monkhurst. He was basically a ruckman who couldn't ruck. From memory, he played one game for Collingwood and personally lost it by giving away a succession of free kicks in the back line when the Pies had a good lead. Not one of our great stories, but shows that ordinary names can stuff up too... |

Stui, when saw the title of this post, I nearly had a wet dream.
You see, about 10 years ago, whilst whiling away the off season in my smoking cave, I stumbled upon files containing all the names of players in the complete history of AFL/VFL. From 1896 I think. As I scoured this never ending list of players names, (from A - Z) I found myself cutting and pasting names that pertained to something. Like, "Oooh, that's a food! That's an animal. That's just too stupid!!" Months later, I had completed 20+ full teams of bona fide players names..... Like the following....
THIS WEEKS MENU…
B : Crisp Garlick Veal
HB : Lamb Currie Rice
C : French Fry Feast
HF : Bunn Brine Brain
FF : Onyons Korn Leek
Foll: Salmon Haggis Pie
Int : Pears Gellie Coffey Drinkwater
Emer: (From) Honey Hams Sanger Berry Beveridge Punch Beer
Coach : Cook
Wait til you see the Rude Team! Saying them out loud is the key, but with the rude one, I can never make it to the end. I fall off my chair somewhere around mid way through.
Anyhow, I've had a number of ideas for things to do with this thing that took me months to put together. I've approached Before The Game, SEN, and The Herald Sun (for a lift out type thing). I've thought about turning it into a book with amazing illustration.
I'll post another couple to whet your appetites, but if anyone out there is interested in jamming ideas for how this could be put out there, please pm me. I've also written commentary for a few that are pretty funny on the ear, and would make an interesting task for celebrities to deliver on a footy program...radio would work for sure.
Anyway, I've gone on way too long here, but felt the impulse to share.
When I kept reading people mentioning Fatui Attata and Wylie Buzza (my 8 yr old's name is Wiley!), I couldn't resist the serendipity.
Go Pies!
