Technique? You can't go past Bob Lindner and Wayne Pearce IMO.

Probably going back before most of you were born but John Elford who played for Western Suburbs was one of the hardest hitters I have seen. Plenty of blokes spilt the pill having a look to see if he was coming.

Garry Jack. ..Best cover defender bar none. Beaver Menzies had good technique when he decided to mix it- could never work out how he managed to play 300 games without putting a kink in that pristine fine china nose of his TBH.

I think Trevor Gillmeister is the best all-round defender I've seen since 1980.
Lincoln Withers also used to pull off lots of big hits, surprising me constantly for his size.
I think Josh Jackson is probably the best 1-1 defender going around right now. Slightly ahead, due to age, of Beau Scott.

ET was a player that improved his defence as the years went on. I reckon he was hands down one of the best defensive centres i have ever seen. Great technique and hit harder than he looked.
Marc Granville was a good hard defender but the best will have to Brad Clyde.
If there was anyone who you model how to play lock forward it was Brad Clyde. A massive influence on my game when playing. This bloke had it all.
The other pound for pound defender you can not get past was Geoff Toovey. He had the best technique and not many got past him or over him unless you were Adam McDougall who just stomped on his head.

Sorry Watto but Lovett is no chance. Decent workload but will never be a big hitter or best defender. His production dropped off huge the last 12 games. His is an average player at best however i hope he makes me eat my words next year or 2 but i doubt it from what i have seen.

Belcher was a far better fullback than Jack ,actually Dale Shearer was far better fullback than Jack

i've seen matt scott come up with some really good textbook tackles and never seems to give any space down the middle.

Come on Happy, opinion on whom is better is one thing, but "far better" would have them approaching immortal status as Jack was a bloody good fullback.
Charlie somebody playing for the bunnies used to hit real hard and Terry Randall used to have a few looking out.

He was very good and a lot of fun to watch. knickname of " Snoozer".
Ron Coote, Artie Beetson,and Big Mark Harris, weren't bad either.
Biggest hitter/defenders over the years.
I am a bit biased, but **I can't go past my childhood idol of Tommy Raudonikis**
