Jake "Fists of Fury" Lever said BT at the time, confusing all and sundry.
Towner was never going to be a great player but was there when we needed him and his efforts in his cameo career with the Tigers is made of folk law so will always be one of ours. Will never forget his tackle in the 17 GF that showed the Tigers intent
Saw bits of the game and he did OK for the Suns today and kicked a couple of goals
And it was especially good to see him interviewed on the ground after the game. He (obviously) still seems a bit nervous talking publicly and with his stutter - but it was a gutsy effort that sums him up. Well done Towner!
A Tiger hero for sure

Good on him. Will always be a Tiger legend with what he did in the last part of 2017.
That stutter is what Jake 'Fists of Fury' Lever was teasing him about in the 17 GF. What a wanker that bloke is.
Far out - I never knew that story - what an *smile*
But it makes it another reason for hoping like hell that Melb fall in a hole in the finals and go out in straight sets
One of my favourite ex players. Seems a great guy guy too. Loved the interview. Glad he’s getting another chance
That's interesting, so they don't have to stay in a bubble when visiting a city in lockdown? Just fly back to Qld and carry on. Average citizen rules don't apply.
Fair point, losing track of what day, what rule, what border is open etc etc .... Was particularly thinking if AFL applied its own rules to travelling teams, or even players at home.
There's still a place in the game for players like Towner. Two goals and 4 bone rattling tackles against Carlton
i hope he gets a contract for next year.
I guarantee you there were a couple of players who got poleaxed by Towner wondering where he was every time they got the ball.

What I like is the respect and man love us Tigers still hold for Towner.
I know we’re forever grateful and appreciative of his 2017 finals and GF.
But I think knowing he is a journeyman type there is ongoing feeling of goodwill towards him. I hope he can get another year or two in the AFL (but is “managed” when playing us).
He’s an honest goer, has some ability, but really leads the way for some of GCS young brigade with his toughness, commitment and never say die attitude.

When a Tiger loves a Towner
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If he is bad, he can't see it
He can do no wrong
And turn his back on his best friend
If he puts Towner down
Watching a bit of today's game they would be mad not to keep him, added some grunt and aggro to help the younger players.

The greatest cult hero of all time has officially pulled the pin on he’s AFL career .
