Something something Tarzan, something something Jack Watts

Does Josh Bootsma count ???

It's amazing how a guy who looks like this:

Can play like this:

Is this meant to be an ironic post or not? I've always regarded him as one of the softest players going around and have found that port supporters often agree with that point of view.

Matthew 'Skinny' Lappin went pretty hard for a 60kg bloke

 

[TassieSaint]

Some odd calls in this thread. Byron pickett and Steve Baker weren't tall but they both looked like they ate empty vb stubbies for breakfast. Hardly came across as soft blokes.

I'll put forward those i did in the other thread, Brett Kirk, Dale Thomas and Nick Riewoldt. Never saw Robbie Flower play but could add him by all reports.

Rhett Biglands built like a brick shithouse. Tries to take midget Pickett out ends up as sack of potatoes.

Yeah but Pickett's pretty built as well.

Surprised Johnny Platten hasn't been mentioned numerous times.

Short doesn't necessarily mean "built like Jane" - there's a lot of tall, skinny blokes doing okay (and have done well in the past)

Fletcher was never stocky, but held his own really well. Helped by his height, sure - but when you compare him to some of his bulkier opponents, he did okay

He isn't a hard nut and he is probably the weirdest living organism that I have ever seen but he certainly isn't soft and I know my fair share of Port supporters who feel the same.

LOL - cleaning up Jarred Grant of all players, and the kid got a hospital handpass

That footage is actually more damning for Hunt, really....

 

[Righteo]

Kade Simpson hands down

 

[Big Animal]

Troy Cook. 176cm, under 80Kg. Hardest tackling machine Freo's had. Loved his WC/Freo "demolition" derbies.

It seems like quite a few didn't see Jane at her best.
Ferocious competitor and one of the toughest to step onto a field.
She could dish out a hit with the best of them, and was never intimidated.

I vote Tony Lockett.

There's only one Kurt Tippett.

And thank **** for that because he wins this category hands down.

Jack Martin owns this thread.

Genuinely looked scared of contact during his first year or two in the league.

I'd name Dale Thomas, Liam Shield, Gavin Brown, and Stephen Silvagni.

 

[Big Animal]

Jack Darling. I don't get what he is scared of or the human pez dispenser routine. Dude's big. Should just play like it.

 

[stax on the mull]

Memory is being tested a bit, but Dean Laidley was a lot tougher than his frame would suggest he ought to have been.

Gavin Wanganeen too.

 

[Giant Pete]

Kade Simpson

Surprised Johnny Platten hasn't been mentioned numerous times.

My recollection is he wasn't slight and Naley was the frail looking one from that era. Both tough as nails inside mids before the word was invented. Memory plays tricks though.

Agree with all bar Thomas.
