I'm proud to say we're a tough enduring side. we beat better sides with our pressure and toughness, and rarely wilt under pressure.
Maxwell is the Pies toughest. He takes huge hits, apparently has no functioning pain receptors, plays on injured and creases the other blokes ribs for them. I think he's paying the universe back for giving him such a rough head.
Presti is next, wears all the gorillas down. Hard to hurt, hard to endure.
Burns is still a rock, cruel and unrelenting.
Trav Cloke is huge, heavy and does a lot of incidental damage. Unlike the first three he hasn't a mean bone in his body, its all just incidental contact that leaves the enemy gasping. Has played CHF for 2 years, and in one of those years he played with a newly reconstructed jaw.
Heath Shaw would crawl into a meat-grinder to get the footy. Careless of his own well-being, and tough enough to get away with it.
Outside the top 5, Rocca started to crumble in 2007, still kicked 50 goals but broke down a lot and wasn't as menacing to his enemies as before.
We have plenty of tough kids, like Swan, Goldsack, Thomas and Pendles, who wear hits and play on with gay abandon. They're not enforcers though, but Marty Clarke may well be: he's not just a footy miracle with an infinite engine, he's made of Irish granite to boot.
