Re: Top 5 Most Dangerous Saints
Morrow was definitely a hard nut. Had a recollection he might have fought for the Vic Amateur Heavyweight or Light Heavyweight title at one point. He certainly didn't muck around when he needed to exert his presence. The other player that comes to mind apart from the obvious ones already mentioned is a former No 19 - A Davis. Talk about unpredictable. At about 6 ft and a bit over 13 stone he certainly knew how to run the lines. Saw him absolutely wreck Leigh Mathews at a centre bounce running through the centre at top pace just as Matthews was to take possession of the ball. After the contact H'thorn put Matthews in a forward pocket hoping he would recover but about 10 mins later took him off the ground and didn't return. He could certainly look after himself. Around this time I had a friend who played for C'wood and he told me how wary you had to be to get involved in a pack that included A Davis.

Re: Top 5 Most Dangerous Saints
There have been a heap.
All mentioned.
Rod keogh, Dean Greig, Lazar were all fearsome in the 90s.
What about the current crop? Simpkin probably the toughest youd think.

Ah, I've left out Robbie Mace. Was it just me, or did he and Muir look quite similar?

Every year we'd play Melbourne, and every time Mace would get 4 weeks for knocking out Alan Johnson.

How about that time when Wow Jones decked Andrew Demetriou back in '87? Old Dimwit was seeing stars after that one.

Re: Top 5 Most Dangerous Saints
I remember a few from Moorabbin...i reckon i saw Muirs eyes roll back like a sharks does when he went for Collins ,and Barry Lawrence.....did both ankles /calfs and was sent back to sit on Twiggy Dunne who was laughing at Barry as he approached..Barry said nothing just stood beside him and as the ump bounced the ball in the middle BANG went Barrys fist into Twiggys jaw lifting him off the ground he stay there for a minute or two rubbing his jaw shaking his head then slowily got up never said a word to Barry who was taken off not long after that and to this day i think i was the only one who saw it.
Re: Top 5 Most Dangerous Saints

Re: Top 5 Most Dangerous Saints
I never saw Rob Muir play, but my old man says he was his favourite player back in the day, and he told me a story of a day at moorabbin that I'll relate to you that definitely corroborates the "white-line-fever" tag that has been attached to him...
I can't remember who we were playing, but apparently robby muir had a brilliant 2nd half and a brilliant last quarter when he just went bonkers, both killing it with the ball and belting the crap out of the opposition physically.
We won the game by a small margin and my old man ran onto the ground after the siren with the rest of the stkilda mob. He was a quick runner, my old man, and he ran straight to robby muir and got there before anyone else. He said something along the lines of "congratulations robby, fantastic game!" and went to shake his hand, but robby wasn't there. His eyes were wide open and he was virtually foaming at the mouth, to hear my old man tell it. He basically looked like a loosed, dangerous lunatic. He heard nothing my old man said and was just in a state of what is best described as "white-line-fever," a state similar to what a soldier experiences on the killing-fields.
What a gun. I wish we had more enforcers like that on our team nowadays. Hamill was good, while he lasted, and gehrig too, but they're a mere piss in the wind in comparison to the likes of muir and lockett

Re: Top 5 Most Dangerous Saints
Hammer Hamill liked a bit of trouble- I think his final knee injury which is still rated 4 weeks away was because he tried to remove a Geelong players vertebrae with it. I loved Steven Powell when he cracked the s***s and Baker never minded a fight.

Re: Top 5 Most Dangerous Saints
I was side onto it Stinger, standing probably no more than 30 yards away. Definitely was an air swing. Collins took the biggest dive of all time. If Robbie had connected, Collins would have left Moorabbin in an ambulance. He seemed to "recover" pretty quickly.stinger wrote:been replayed on tellie a million times...only trouble ....robbie reckons that his punch missed and that that bearded arse collins took a dive.....satchmo wrote:Denise Collins!
