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

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

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
