Re: Our tackle count Reply #15 – May 18, 2016, 12:29:55 pm Quote from: deepbluesee – on May 18, 2016, 12:23:20 pmAs pointed out there are a lot of variables in play here. What i cannot Q having watched all games (all Melb games live) is the intent to tackle & chase and to tackle hard. Many players are skilled in different aspects of our game (speed, height, marking etc) but any player with the right attitude should be able to chase and tackle and I believe we are far better at this of late and it is making a difference.I very much agree with this - I was (and still am) curious to know whether it can be described and quantified the extent to which it makes a difference.

Re: Our tackle count Reply #19 – June 12, 2016, 04:44:24 pm Lack of will to tackle hard does stand out when we have a loss. It's obvious from the first few minutes of the first quarter in every game. Quote Selected

Re: Our tackle count Reply #21 – June 12, 2016, 08:33:04 pm As I stated at the end of the in game club, I don't care too much about the loss.However... I was really disappointed with the tackling efforts today, I am sure it is something the club will be focused on though. Quote Selected
Re: Our tackle count Reply #22 – June 12, 2016, 09:07:02 pm No doubt tackling must be reviewed. If we are to be defined by pressure, pretty sure this would be an important contributor. Hopefully we'll work hard on it, recuperate during the bye, and rebound with the tenacity shown over the last couple of months.Go Blues Quote Selected
