BACKS:	KEVIN SHEEDY 1967-79 251 games 3 flags (1969, 1973-74) 1 B & F. Tough as teak, he gave the opposition resting rovers hell. Worked tirelessly to turn himself into a highly skilled player and later made a successful switch to the ruck-roving role.	VIC THORP 1910-25 263 games 2 flags (1920,21) 2 B & Fs. An all-time League great at full back. Was a magnificent mark, consistently cleared the ball out of defence with long, driving drop kicks and possessed superb judgement.	MICHAEL GREEN 1966-71/ 1973-75 146 games 4 flags (1967, 1969, 1973-74). The consummate big-occasion player. Was very mobile for his size, had a great pair of hands and read the play to perfection.
HALF BACKS:	BASIL MCCORMACK 1925-36 199 games 2 flags (1932, 1934) 2 B & F?s. A tearaway defender with a vigorous approach to the game.

Was also a fine kick.	MERVYN KEANE 1972-84 238 games 3 flags (1973-74, 1980). Under-rated backman who eclipsed bigger-name opponents with his superb all-round defensive skills.

CENTRELINE:	FRANCIS BOURKE 1967-81 302 games 5 flags (1967, 1969, 1973-74, 1980) 1 B & F. Courageous and inspirational.

A dynamic “big occasion” player with a fierce will-to-win, long, raking drop kicks and tremendous stamina. Ahead of his time in the fitness department.	DICK CLAY 1966-76 213 games 4 flags (1967, 1969, 1973-74). Versatile performer who had pace to burn and could kick the ball out of sight! With Bourke, revolutionized wing play in the late 1960's due to his height (185cm).
HALF FORWARDS:	MATTHEW RICHARDSON 1993-present 176 games 515 goals 8 club goalkicking awards. Current day forward star who is one of the best marks going around, but for a player so tall, is also incredibly agile and quick.

A pocket dynamo with a popular, spirited style of play. Lifted the side with his tough attack on the ball and ability to be in the right position at the right time.
FORWARDS:	DALE WEIGHTMAN 1978-93 274 games 344 goals 1 flag (1980) 2 B & Fs. Silkily-skilled small man with a grim determination to succeed.

BILL MORRIS 1942/ 1944-51 140 games 98 goals 1 Brownlow Medal (1948) 3 B & Fs. A gifted ruckman who consistently palmed the ball straight to the Tiger rovers.

FOLLOWERS:	ROY WRIGHT 1946-59 195 games 2 Brownlow Medals (1952, 1954) 4 B & Fs. Scrupulously fair and a great palmer of the ball (a 10 inch hand span giving him a fairly useful advantage in that regard!) Was also a strong mark and a towering kick.	JACK DYER 1931-49 312 games 443 goals 2 flags (1934,1943) 6 B & Fs 2 club goalkicking awards captain & captain-coach. Maybe the most famous Tiger ever. “Captain Blood” had a rugged, straight-ahead style. But along with that legendary toughness came great skills and a clever football brain. He is credited with inventing the drop punt and kicked a swag of goals for his beloved Tigers.	KEVIN BARTLETT 1965-83 403 games 778 goals 5 flags (1967, 1969, 1973-74, 1980) 5 B & Fs 4 club goalkicking awards. A ball “magnet” who loved to kick a goal.

INTERCHANGE:	DES ROWE 1946-57 175 games 2 B & Fs. A tenacious, tight-checking backman, who also liked to use his pace at times to run off opponents. Nullified taller forwards and was regarded as a fine team man.	GEOFF RAINES 1976-82 134 games 1 flag (1980) 3 B & Fs. Superbly balanced centreman with great disposal. A feature of his play was his ability to swoop on the ball at centre bounces and then send a long bomb forward.	IAN STEWART 1971-75 78 games 1 flag (1973) 1 Brownlow Medal (1971) 1 B & F. Class personified and totally fearless, he regularly backed into a pack to take a mark. Beautifully balanced and delivered the ball with the utmost precision.	MATTHEW KNIGHTS 1988-2002 246 games 130 goals 2 B & Fs. Gifted left-footer who enjoyed great vision and poise, plus brilliant skills and finishing. A very smart mover.
