The flashiest Tiger ever?
« on: October 20, 2007, 08:35:08 PM »
Who is/was the flashiest player ever to pull on a Tigers' guernsey?

Flashy in the sense it could be for their silky skills hitting teammates lace-out on command, or they could take speccie after speccie, or they could leave opponents mesmorised on the spot, or they could kick near-impossible goals from any angle, etc .....

Royce Hart's ability to float across in front of a pack to take a mark was pretty cool.

Yeah, Moi. I still think Rioli based purely on footy skills but a close thing.
Bugsy had other strings to his bow when it came to being flashy that Rioli didn't, like firing up and playing to the crowd.

Rioli was silky smooth skills, Billy was just flash lol
His kicks from the middle of the ground were amazing, go 80 metres every time. 
His temperament (total nut lol) meant entertaining.
He was centre in debatably the greatest centreline of all time
Chuck in Geoff Raines as a flashy player as well.
