Tackling

Dyer'ere said:
There was a beauty on BigBad where Kellaway started it and Nooman finished it.

A much improved effort for most of the day.

Which end of the tackling ladder do we think we'd like to be at? If we want attacking football, tackling numbers will be down. Particularly while we're developing our ball movement the focus will be on first use and running to position. Turnovers are inevitable and tackiling impossible.

I'm not saying our tackling's good. It was, usually, today but Wallet's focus has been ball movement and winning this season to date. It was very pleasing to see some of our players really lift their intensity.

The one thing I took out of today was our intensity at the man and the ball Dyer'ere. It was great to see especially in the first half mate.

Spot on Tuby.

If we do that consistantly, then we will win more games imo.
 
I wish we'd fried em, tuby. But they're a pretty good unit but Jonno did his knee, Cogs needed a rest, Tuck was being hardf tagged by Kirk and TW thought he'd give some youngsters a go in the guts.

I reckon we did okay.

:gotigers

I'm looking forward to Esserden.

:bash

;D
 
Dont hit yourself so hard Dyer'ere :bash :beer With a bit of G & D next week we could just do ok mate...
 
The tackling today was bloody fantastic. Won us the game, hands down. Newman & krak lead the way, it was a treat to watch. Too bad I gained 15 more grey hairs in the 4th quarter, but I'll take it.

Bloody oath, it is extra frustrating when it leaves nobody on the mark.

That's been happening a bit lately, Snake. Not good enough.

And most of the tackles laid are usually too easily brushed off. When you grab someone, you should tear their jumper off - or their arms or something.

And this corraling - what bright spark thought that one up. Like dancing around in front of someone and waving arms about is supposed to . . . what?

If they're going to get a kick then make 'em earn it!

Roar where have you been we missed you.

Welcome back old son. :clap
