When Collingwood unveiled debutant Liam Puncher in their win over the Gold Coast Suns last weekend, many sat up and took notice of the kid's tough name.
Puncher. Gosh, that's a strong surname. Heaps of fodder for commentators, fans, and teammates alike. Taken in the recent Mid-Season Draft, the South Australian has taken his Puncher's chance, and run with it. Just wait until he becomes a 100-game pillar of Magpies' backlines of the future.
It got us here at ZH HQ mulling over some of the 22-year-old's contemporaries in this space.
Have a go at a dozen of my favourite names in the game!
9. Steely Green
Named after a 'jazz rock' band. There's nothing more inherently bogan than that, but blimey I love it.
Somehow, being a small forward in a high jumper number for a struggling, post-dynasty Victorian powerhouse just adds to the picture his name already paints.
Go well, Steely.
