Been watching the dogs for over 45 years. Seen all our greats except Les Johns.
Fastest: Steve Mortimer & Jonathan Davies. They even look and play similar.
Toughest: Terry Lamb & David Gillespie
Smartest: Steve Mortimer & Terry Lamb. Statistically the best halves combination of all time despite what today's "experts" think. They played 5 seasons together, made 4 GF and won 3 of them. Incredible 60% premiership strike rate. The only other halves that comes close is Sterlo and Kenny. 13 seasons together, made 5 GF and won 4. 31% premiership strike rate which is half of Mortimer and Lamb. Head to head in the years they played against each other its Mortimer/Lamb 3 GF wins- Sterlo/Kenny 1.
Most Talented: Steve Mortimer (13 seasons), Jonathan Davies (1 season) and Ben Barba (2012 only).
MVP: Steve Mortimer - our only player to lead us to 6 GF and win 4 of them. Best player I've ever seen.

Hi Blue & White Blood.

Hard to disagree with your list.

I haven't posted for a while because season 2020 has given me the sh!ts big time, but I wanted to commend you on your footy card collection. I can see you are a fan from a long way back. I have several of the same cards myself!

Re Peter Kelly being tough, a mate sneaked me into the 1986 ANZAC Day game Dogs v Souths at the SCG. We were sitting right next to the tunnel and Kelly coat hangered some guy in the first tackle. He got sent off and he came right past us as he walked off. He had the craziest eyes like he would have killed you if you said a word to him. Opposition players didn't want to go near him.

Dogs played basically the whole game a man short and absolutely towelled Souths up that day. A unforgettable day all in all.

Cheers from RookieDog

Spot on mate. Kels was as hard as nails.
Came from that Jets team with Tommy Raudonikis.
He was almost my pick for ‘toughest’ in this thread but I went with Cement for being tough and an overall better player in my view, but Kels should not be underrated, he was another along with Chris Mortimer I was disappointed to see leave Belmore to become a Chocolate Soldier in the late 80’s.

 

[Snake]

Fastest: Nigel Vagana

Toughest: Dean Pay

Smartest: Shifty

Most Talented: Ben Barba

MVP: Andrew Ryan (04 Baby!)

 

[Spoonman84]

Simon Gilles probably deserves a nomination as the toughest player and he was probably the MVP of the 95 final series. He was just a hard bastard that didn’t take a backward step.

Thanks Rookie dog for sharing that great memory with us. Yes Kelly with those scary snake eyes certainly was one very tough Ombre, who can forget that scrum in the 1985 GF when he hit Graham Wynn nearly knocked him out with one punch & we got the penalty which led to the wining Try.

MVP: Terry Lamb (never saw him play a bad game)
