Losing the tackle count again
« on: June 16, 2012, 05:00:56 PM »
I find it quite concerning that we have yet again lost the tackle count,this time against GWS 87 to 69.
I understand that when you are winning week in week out that your tackle count would be lower than the opponent as you obviously have more possession and less chasing the ball.But while we aren't in this position i feel that maybe we really aren't putting enough pressure on opposing teams which could result in a few more wins considering we have been in with a chance in every game this year.I hope the coaching staff are well aware of this stat.I am glad we got over the line against GWS as these were the games we lost last year and cost us a position in the eight.Go theTiges :thumbsup

there is a point where you are making too many tackles. Not only does it indicate being second to the ball, it is physically tiring.

69 is not a low tackle count.

(oh, theres a line somewhere there........)

Too many players 'sifting off' (using Hardwick's venacular). Tell them to get in or get out. The fact that Cotch could be lined-up like he was in the last quarter speaks volumes.

We won more contested ball and had heaps more stats.
That would probably be one factor as to why they got more tackles against us.
Wouldn't worry too much about it at this stage.

Our tackling has been quite good this year overall and the tackles are sticking at least compared to a few years ago when our pencils were being broken quite easily.

It would be very difficult to perform a 69 with a low tackle count?

Bojangles is right.  If we got the ball, we don't need to tackle as much to win it back, and one thing that stood out was many of their 'tackles' were of people who weren't even in posession of the football, this didn't seem to bother the umpire at all.

tackle count is overrated

first teams to the ball usually have less tackles ffs
its common sense

of course we lost the tackle count, look how much contested ball won and possession we had


score bored does not reflect how much we thumped the,
weather gods stuffed us good percentage

ooh yeah like the weather gods stuffed our percentage up against the Hawks

Look on Dimmas face at the siren said it all.

Yes we won but in many ways we lacked intensity and basic errors missed tackles was why we didn't nail them to the sword as we should've

I really believe they shouldn't even have sung the song especially efforts from Mille and Dea

Should be a non negotiable never play these 2 spuds when there is 1 drop of rain

Today hawks dominated possession, inside 50's etc, played in poor conditions and guess what? they won by 11 goals and had about 100 tackles to boot, +30 more than their opponents - but yeah tackles are overated ...
Oh yeah almost forgot, conditions dont allow for percentage boosting wins either   :shh
