Australians pride ourselves on being fast on the wit and quicker on the lip.
Nowhere is this trait quite as self-evident as it is at football clubs, where nicknaming teammates becomes almost as much of a sport as the football itself.
Whether it be for a physical trait, a play on a player's name, or an incident of infamy, Australian rules football has a proud history of players nicknaming each other, adorning their mates with aliases creative and otherwise.
Here's a look at 21 of the very best that have risen to ubiquity over the journey.
13. Bernie "Superboot" Quinlan
A Brownlow, two Coleman Medals and six leading goalkicker nods hang in Bernie Quinlan's trophy cabinet. The play of "Superboot" saw him elevated to Fitzroy's Team of the Century and the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
Quinlan kicked over 100 goals in a season in back-to-back years in the mid-1980s.
Known for a prodigiously long kick, Quinlan's nickname isn't the most creative on this list, but it's one of the better known monikers getting about.
