    Re: The leagues most versatile players?

    I think Luke Hodge is another player that immediately springs to my mind. Has obviously been excellent for the Hawks in his defensive role, occasionally gets thrown forward and can kick a goal, and can be a Riccuito like power midfielder to boot. Even when Hawthorn look crap I think that Hodge will usually be a shining light for them.

    Whoa I just got the DeLorean up to 1.21 gigawatts of power and 88 miles per hour and went forward to the end of the season and the answer to most versatile defender/forward will be Brian Lake!

    Great Scott!

    I want to see Lake used in the fwd line more this year. If Williams can keep his body together, it adds another Tall marking option, especially when Hall is off the ground resting.

    LAke could do an Alistair Lynch and play out the second half of his career in the fwd line. But A.Lynch was a very good reader of the play.

    Adam Hunter springs to mind, was....

    Michael Johnson from Fremantle is another who I really rate as someone who can switch between backline and forward duties.

    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.

    Max Rooke would be another.

    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.
