Hardest player that I've ever played on, Lenny Hayes.
He used to just go so hard both ways and I loved those match-ups.
It wasn't like, you know, he was never a tagger.
He was, you know, obviously way better than that.
But, like, sometimes you can get really offensive midfielders that don't run hard the other way or really defensive taggers who don't challenge the other way.
I felt Lenny played the game so well in both phases that you just respect it and I loved playing against him.
Who's the best player you have played against?
Probably dusty in that era when they were playing how they played.
You know, it was clearance, then he was forward.
Always would somehow be one-on-one in the goal square.
The thing I loved about it, they could just kick it into him however they wanted.
They could mongrel it, they could kick it on his head, whatever, and he'd just win.
Yeah, he was just crazy to watch and to play against.
That period of time in those final series is just a level that I don't think too many players have ever got to.
And the winner of the Norm Smith medal with four goals, 21 disposals, Dustin Martin.
And the one that I think will be the toughest.
Who is the best player you have played with?
Dane Swan and Steel Sidebottom are my top two.
Just for their ability to influence games in different ways.
Like Sidey's obviously just so skillful and so poised and has just done so much.
