Serious worry...ranked dead last in tackles so far.

That's interesting...

I thought some of our lads were tackling machines... :o

No need to tackle when we have the ball the whole time ;D

Nah it is a bit of a worry though. I thought we tackled well against Carlton in the 1st half but last week there was a lot of missed tackles. Im sure they are aware of it and will fix it up

Richmond aren't even top 8 for disposals I think.

Top 8 where it counts though Ant, the ladder ;)

Interesting... Nahas and Vlastuin with 6 tackles a piece in the two's last weekend... Time to bring some more tackling pressure into the team?

Personally one thing glaringly obvious to me was that Brandon Ellis still isn't going in and laying hard tackles.. Kinda wait's for the opponent to come to him, rather than going towards them... Reckon that's something he needs to do if he wants to stay in the team this year, wouldn't mind seeing Robbie or Vlas getting a game over him this weekend..

Don't get me wrong, I think he is a fantastic kid and well be an absolute jet in the future, but his tackling and pressure certainly needs some work.
