    I think we have a few in our own backyard too:

    Griff can play just about any position, Everitt is another who can hopefully do the same.
    Good nominations. So far it's seems the taller guys are more versatile or at least used that way.

    Re: The leagues most versatile players?

    I'm certainly not suggesting he's the most versatile, but if the NAB Cup is anything to go by, we'll see Mitch Hahn given some different roles during the year.

    To answer the original question - Pav and Hodge for me.

    Max Rooke would be another.
    The curse is dead.

    Paddy Rider gets moved around a bit. He's a player that I'd like to have at the Dogs.

    +1.

    IIRC he went back there when Croad went down in the GF and played well.

    Suspect that's not the last we'll see of that move.
    The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

    Robs them of a potent multi-pronged forward line. Most coaches around the league would be happy to see him move into defence.

    Hawthorn's forward-line already looked very reliant on Franklin & Roughead in our recent NAB Cup clash. They have traded out Williams, have Rioli injured so I couldn't imagine that they could kick a winning score if they send Roughead down back.

    Andrew Embley for me, seems to be able to play a range of positions if asked upon. Can move as small as a midfielder, but still has enough height to trouble larger opponents.
