Isn’t that something that just naturally occurs once you stop wearing the carlton jumper?

He was a tough little bugger, still a few of his teeth at Victoria Park I think.
The concussion rule has tempered a lot of toughness. The docs save a lot of blokes now from themselves.
Hodge is def tough even in old age at Brisbane. Hands it out, cops it and has helped turned that Lions outfit into a genuine top 4 side in a year of footy in his absolute twilight.
Compare that to say Ablett Jnr at the suns and its light and day.
Remarkable player

I honestly don’t know what more Ablett could have done at the Gold Coast. He was handed an absolute ■■■■ sandwich and still won a Brownlow Medal while playing there.
Ablett Jnr ks a deadset gun and one of the best players I have seen, but I’d choose Hodge to build a team around any day of the week.
Great move by Fagan bringing him up to Brisbane in his mid 30s.

When they played GWS he copped a knock from Cameron early on. In the last quarter, found him and didn’t miss the chance to square up. All far, was good stuff.
Won’t be popular but I think Cameron and Green are both pretty tough. They can do the odd dirty thing but don’t ever shirk the issue and happy to wear one back.

Absolutely. Cameron and Greene are rippers.

CALE HOOKER.
Lol mooney, thought he was tough but it ends there
Absolutely, Brisbane have a young list, and seem to be able to manage consistent football on a regular basis, we need more of that at our club.
McGovern in marking contests is the toughest in the league, just puts his body on the line every time.
I like when Francis goes hard at a contest, leaves people sore.

So have we got blokes for this list now?
Let’s see if being at our club has the same effect on a players toughness as it does on a players footskills and goal-kicking.

Toby Green. More dirty than tough, but would love him in our team.
I’d love him in our team but only because he’s a highly highly skilled player. The behind play under packs stuff is mostly pissweak snipes that have no real effect on games other than increasingly seeing him miss them. You can’t get away with that stuff when there’s cameras watching from multiple angles every move.
