Only know a couple that havent been mentioned

Historical ones intrigue me eg Esssendon: the 'blood stained Niggers' (and try to get away with that one nowadays!!!). And weren't we known as the Wasps at one stage?

Yes.

One club used to be known as the Blood stained angels, then just the bloods... I think (South Melb?).

Fitzroy were the gorillas?
 
mayblooms was bad but the worst without a doubt that invokes stupidity and dumbness the world over that no-one would ever be able to explain, the shinboners

wtf is a shinboner? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
 
the suburb of north melbourne used to be full of abboitoirs back in the shinboner days, hence the name

when it comes to players, my 2 favourite nicknames were the following:
james *smile*
and instead of saying "wanga" for gavin wanganeen, i would say "wanka"
