North Melbourne
Kayne Turner and Taylor Garner are two young ones from North who will be right up there in a few years. Turner defies his size, going for anything and takes some big hits.

Melbourne have a decent up-and-coming list of guys who aren't afraid to really attack the ball and tackle/bump as hard as they can (Viney, Brayshaw, Vandenberg, Oliver) too. Viney and Brayshaw especially will hurt blokes often in the next 10 years. Jones, Dunn and Cross when he was there really set the tone.

Overall:
Mitch Robinson
Callan Ward
Jack Ziebell
Rory Sloane
Tom Rockliff

Also underrated for toughness is Nat Fyfe. Has a lot of size which helps but have never seen him take a backward step, and plays through injury like a champ.

Umm the Hulk is pretty tough.

Go and watch his highlights of last year. He is a bruiser and in no way afraid of the rough stuff.
Not hard to be rough when you have a whole head on someone... the bloke is massive, nearly 2m

Agree on the coward punch, s**t act.
But on the field he's harder than a cats head. Obviously has a screw loose but doesn't shirk a contest.

Marley Williams THINKS he's the toughest in the AFL.
Good player but try's to fight/wrestle with everyone at every contest. Thought the threat of jail would've made him pull his obvious hot-head in.

Very similar to Andrew Mackie last year. Great to see him s**t his pants when Melksham shadow punched him.

True. Although macks pretty good on the sledge. My personal favourite was when he politely asked Alex Fasolo who he was when we were 6 goals up against your mob in the grand final.
