The leagues most versatile players?

Nathan Bock for me.

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.

Adam Hunter springs to mind, was....

He always seemed to be used in a few positions against us.

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.

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

Roughhead at Hawthorn is more likely to be moved between back and forward.

+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.

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.
