Post subject:  Tackling concerns

I'm only going by the AFL website stats but...
Carlton tackles 33
Freo tackles 69

They more than doubled us :shock: - surely that has got to be a concern. I dont think I've ever seen such a lopsided tackle count. That equates to us not being able to put enough pressure around the ground (particularly the midfield). For those who saw it - why was the count differential so great?

We didn't man up - our forward line pressure was woeful.

We had players going up for marking contests and not staying on the ground to put pressure on Freo's HB line - who were then allowed to run the ball out into midfield with ridiculous ease.

We had no numbers at the feet of the contests - simple.

If you add our attempted tackles to those that stuck they might add up to Freo's tackle count

Have a look at this thread ... there's some discussion on the tackling
