Honours

Recruited from Subiaco with pick 29 in the 1998 National Draft, Tyson Stenglein established himself at Adelaide as a disciplined run-with player who could accumulate possessions while nullifying dangerous opponents. After six consistent seasons and 106 games with the Crows, he requested a trade back to his home state of Western Australia following the 2004 season, joining West Coast just as the club entered its premiership window.

At the Eagles, Stenglein became the structural counterbalance to the club's celebrated midfield trio of Judd, Cousins, and Kerr. A hard-bodied clearance winner and ferocious tackler, he allowed his more attacking teammates to flourish by absorbing physical pressure and performing heavy defensive lifting in the engine room. His role was integral to West Coast's mid-2000s dominance, featuring in the 2005 Grand Final loss and claiming a premiership medallion in 2006. He retired in 2009 after persistent injuries began to limit his output, finishing his career as a highly respected, two-club 200-game player.
