Amongst St Kilda fans, debate will always rage about the club's greatest player. Who's the best Saints' player to ever pull on a jumper? What about the greatest player of the last 20 years? Who, of the current players, has the most impressive career so far?

Picking just one player for each of these categories is a near impossible task, so we've decided to create a new player altogether. By the end of the week, with your help, SAINTS.com.au will have created the ultimate Saint.

On Monday we put it to a vote to decide the best right and left feet to put on the ultimate Saint, while on Tuesday we moved up the body to determine the speediest and most agile player.

Today we are focusing on the torso, more specifically strength and heart.

In the strength category we have some of the most physically imposing players ever to pull on a red, white and black guernsey, while the heart section could be the most divisive category so far with some of the club's hardest working and loyal players up for nomination.

Make sure to check back in tomorrow to vote for the next component in SAINTS.com.au's ultimate Saint!

Ultimate Saint's Strength?

Aaron Hamill A genuine bull if ever there was one, Hamill's signature was to throw himself into contests and chase down opposition players trying to clear the ball out of defence. Hamill's ruthless approach was a key factor in the Saints' success in the 2004 and 2005 finals campaigns.
Tony Lockett Not only the AFL's greatest goal kicker but also one of the most physically dominant to ever play. Lockett's strength across his chest and shoulders made him a difficult challenge. Combine that with his famous aggression and full-backs throughout the 1980s and 1990s were often genuinely scared of what lay in store for them.
Fraser Gehrig Gehrig won two Coleman medals at the Saints but his name was on another honour board when he bench pressed 172.5 kgs. He also held the bench press record at his previous club West Coast. Much like Lockett, he intimidated opposition full-backs from the minute he set foot on the field.
Robert Harvey Not as physically imposing as the other candidates in this field, but Harvey's core strength was one of the key factors to his success. His balance and ability to shrug off tackles was a reason why he was such a consistent midfielder throughout his long and illustrious career.
Carl Ditterich Widely regarded as one of the genuine tough men of the competition, Ditterich stormed on to the scene in 1963 as a 17-year-old who was more than willing to go toe to toe with the veterans of the league. Throughout his long career at St Kilda and Melbourne, he starred by combining his athleticism, strength and sheer intimidation.

Ultimate Saint's Heart?

Trevor Barker A star of the 1970s and 1980s who often played through injury and played against much bigger opponents. Barker's courage knew no bounds and his loyalty to the Saints throughout such a lean time at the club remains his legacy 17 years after his premature death.
Lenny Hayes The golden boy of the modern generation of Saints, Hayes has achieved the rare status of universal adoration among fans of all clubs. His work ethic and ability to push through barriers have made him one of St Kilda's greatest.
Steven Baker By his own admission, Baker was not overly blessed with skill or pace but his dedication to a task and his willingness to push himself to his physical limits made him a favourite of many Saints fans and the no. 1 enemy of many opposition fans. The fact he won the 2005 best and fairest in a team that made it to a preliminary final is proof of how highly he was regarded at St Kilda.
Nathan Burke A St Kilda warrior with a never say die attitude, Burke got everything he could out of his body over the course of 323 games. A head injury in 1991 causing him to wear a helmet for the bulk of the rest of his career did not hold Burke back from burrowing in to every contest.
Max Hudghton One of the most dedicated St Kilda men of his time, Hudghton was the driving force of the St Kilda defence for more than a decade. Opponents Matthew Richardson and Brendan Fevola often spoke of him as the toughest opponent they ever faced. Hudghton played on pure emotion and was loved by all Saints fans.
