IMO, it's NOT the obvious "blokes"

Someone like the Flea, pound for pound was hard as stuff and for years.

Another tough bastard was Paul Broderick.A lot of his hardness went unnoticed.

Scotty Turner was tough as stuff too.

I reckon Dusty is looking pretty tough these days - if its not toughness then one of you blokes can tell him for me!  Normally I'd do it myself, but ... Mr Martin scares me just a little, its all there in those eyes!   :o   :help   ;D

Jake King was a tough little prick, too. I loved how he took on Collingwood a few years back.

Would've expected to see one J Bowden on said list. Campbell, Daffy, Fiora some goodies there

The Poll is for Tigers of the past 50 years since we moved home games to the MCG. That's why there's no Dyer, Fraser, etc ...

Barry Young. Never forget the game where Gary Lyon was reported for striking him then Young turned the tables. Lyon did not get up.

Agree 100% Ox. Flea and Brodders were like sappers diving into contests to get the footy with no regard for their own safety.   :thumbsup

The title is a little misleading then…it can't be toughest EVER! Should be "toughest since moving to the MCG".

I would add to that list Tony Free.

Two mentions of Broderick ? You blokes have seriously lost your marbles. Broderick was a bit soft actually. Pretty good player though.

Dyer , Fraser and Roger Dean were before my time but I heard stories.
Ricky McLean and Neil Balme were hard bastards in the 70s. They'd be my choice as the hardest tigers.
Malthouse , Weightman , Woosha Welsh , Terry Smith  , Jim Jess in the early 80s. Cloke didn't take any crap either. Barry Young in the late 80s.
Tony Free in the early 90s. Scott Turner was pretty tough.
That's about it.

For me its St Frances clearly.
However I have also heard enough stories to mention Don Mopsy fraser who many say was meaner and tougher than captain blood

Just to clarify- ' "big" in their username when it refers to themselves - not a player or some other third party/entity...

Certainly refers to me, been called Big Richo at home as opposed to my brother Richo ever since I took my first shower in the local footy shed.

And I won't hear a bad word against Balkie.
