Am I the only one who thinks our tackling is pee poor
-
much better than it used to be but can improve
-
Tackling has improve heaps, no longer are we getting brushed aside with a wave of the hand like we were in 2009. Its getting better as the team develops.

We are still getting brushed aside in tackles however we have improved alot in the last couple of years. We are still to small as a side. Geelong have big bodied players, even there small forwards are huge. Adelaide under Sanderson have embarked upon a beefing up program, they are big and strong and look at them now they are powering on. Save for a catastrophe they will go on to win the flag this year. Even the essendon players have beefed up, I was surprised looking at them on sat night.
Our players are still to small and will not be able to go with the bigger sides and end up injured like the Mark Murphy's of the world. We absolutely have to 1. beef up 2. Trade for palyers that have bigger bodies 3. Recruit youngsters that have bodies that will develop into big strong bodies. 4. Make sure all these players can kick. 5. Make sure all these players have a fearce (sp) competitive drive in their make up. 6. love the hard stuff.
Thats ground zero.

The game had a fairly even possession count and we laid 10 more effective tackles than the bombers.
The most glaring missed tackles were from Alex Rance. Three very costly ones by my count. Not really a small body type.
Not sure I get the tenor of this thread/topic.

Tross probably watched some of the skipper's efforts

Hehehe

didn't we have this damn issue with Terry when he was coaching
im sure there was a lot of conjecture about our inability to tackle
back then.

At least we have had a couple of tackles this week. Must have watched the Storm last night!!!!!!

Disgusting that we got smashed so badly in the tackles when North had the ball all night.
yep but not surprising. There was an article somehwere yesterday which listed where we have ranked in terms of tackles the last 6 years and the best result was 13th. I know the club will trot out their BS line total number doesnt matter its all about how it compares vs yur opposition but those stats paint a pretty damning picture. 6 years straight in the bottom 4-5 for tackles tells you something about our football philosophy!
