Barry a winner , the other three would get knocked out , even big Jonathon, O'Hailpin and Robinson there tough but I mdon,t think they,re boxers, just being a street fighting thug doesn,t make you a good fighter, the Irishman might get well slapped I,d say.My rugby loving girl friend keeps going on about how afl is soft, and no afl player would stand a chance against any rugby player. I tried to explain to her there is a lot more to afl than just being big, and heavy, but she's stubborn when it comes to rugby
It got me thinking about who the toughest AFL players actually are, both current and past.
I remember years ago they had a charity boxing match between AFL players and NRL players, from memory most of the AFL players got walloped.
If there was to be a similar event, who would be the best AFL players you would pick?
Some that come to mind are:
Obviously Barry Hall with his boxing background
Jonathan Brown - He is a giant
Setanta O'hailpin - crazy Irish
Mitch Robinson - not the biggest bloke, but does not feel pain and he is a psycho
PS If we,re talking about boxing and toughness , I don,t think many players under proper conditions could last a minute in a boxing ring if they don,t know that sport .My rugby loving girl friend keeps going on about how afl is soft, and no afl player would stand a chance against any rugby player.

Byron Pickett.
Toughest League player I recall watching at a game was a St George 2nd rower, John Fifita, broke his arm half way though the match & played out the game. But it was noticed by the people at the game that his game was a little off. It appears that John did not know the meaning of the word pain. I suspect there where a lot of words that John did not know the meaning of.
But there are also AFL players who have played on with broken bones.
Myth.
Gives off an outward vibe of being a tough man, very soft when leaned on.
The real toughmen of the game don't let you know they're hurt.
I think it's the blokes who smash into every contest are the ones who deserve praise, Judd, Black, Kerr, Ball, Deboer, Griffen, Hayes, Cothchin.
Love the way these guys go about it.
I think a lot don't like putting Robinson here, because it isn't cool.
There is currently not another player who'll regularly put his head in front of a boot the way he does.
(Yes, I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere )
A lot of his best work goes unnoticed, by most.
It's called awareness.He hits hard, but I've seen him take his eyes off the ball plenty fo times when the heat is coming his way.
That makes him a bit of a coward for mine.
From Freo De boer and Lower play with a complete lack of regard for their own safety, love watching them go about it.
Alwyn Davey and Monfries from the Dons are surely two of the toughest players going around now. Bravery Incarnate.
