Title: Tackle Stats
Post by: Damo on May 18, 2014, 04:21:40 PM
Not being a smart arse, but what is a tackle?

Ben Lennon had MULTIPLE tackles. I was applauding his efforts in laying these "tackles".

Stats show ZERO.

Stats are bull plop

Stats can get stuffed

Tackles are awarded when a player either prevents an opposition disposal or forces an ineffective disposal.  This includes winning a free kick or forcing a stoppage.

It does not include tackling a player but still allowing an effective disposal.

If the Lennon tackle that resulted in Dimma going bezerk doesn't count as a tackle in the stats, then the stats aren't worth a pinch of goat poo

Surely that can't be right?

Speechless if the Lennon tackle wasn't a tackle.

Lennon's tackle count = zero
