On paper

In reality you'd have more soft gimp like efforts

lol.
so according to the bent one, the stats that show over three quarters of the players getting AFL game are wrong, that they all actually have more tackles,

so in conclusion, we are making more tackles than the stats show, therefore tackling is not an issue as the OP articles states.

Good, Im glad that is clarified, can we now go down the next rabbit hole and see what we can find?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I'd prefer a player put in 20 soft gimp efforts that result in 5 effective tackles per game than a pansie who points to other players so they don't have to tackle and might luckily get 1 effective tackle

Well they don't have stats for  missed tackles (which they should and I dare suggest it wouldn't reflect kindly on Grigg at all or most of our players for that matter ) and I'm guessing they don't count tackles where the opponent still manages to dispose of the football or the tackler concedes a free kick, so I'd say yes....

Should also have stats for effective and ineffective corralling as I think we'd be league leaders by a mile in the latter stat... :whistle
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Effective. And who the stuff cares, if it's only 'tackles' it means he's still putting more effort then your favourites

Having Grigg in the Midfield does not help either.

Equal 5th in tackling for us :shh

Hardly an inspiring statistic.

If more people tackled like Grigg we might not have such low tackling numbers :shh

Several years ago even Hardwick had a crack at Grigg for his poor tackling.

which you could also say about teams that have high tackle counts
