Elite tackle numbers

I literally saw him make multiple tackles (I was tracking it with my eye when I saw the AFL app didn't give him credit for a tackle on Steele in the first).

Not saying he had an elite tackling game but he laid multiple, more than the zero the box score has.

Which leads me to ask, how the **** does the AFL decide what constitutes a tackle in their official stats?
 
Probably the most involved I’ve seen him. Got some touches away from stoppage which has been an issue for him.

Usage was just ok - not great but not horrendous either. Physicality seemed improved.

Not sure Dee’s midfield is much chop - keep him in and let’s see how he goes against Gold Coast and then Collingwood.
 
I was one who was super critical of his disposal at VFL level but I do think he played an effective game today in spite of those disposal issues. The players seemed quite onto the fact that his 'long' kicks would still fall short and seemed to adjust which I found interesting. Hands in close were good and even when he got the ball at half back was able to deliver safely so I'll call it a win.

Definitely has no issues winning the ball though.

Lij plays - bombers win. Pretty simple.

In all seriousness. Was good. First hands on the footy often enough. Competed well. And yes hi wasn’t amazing with his disposal but a lot were worse.

Yes. The tightrope he walks is narrower than most players due to his limitations, but if he can maintain the balance in his favour - and perhaps build on it- then he's shown he will be very useful extra number in our midfield with his ball winning ability.

How much of a miserable campaigner do you have to be to come in here and shit on tsatas after that game.

Might not play a better game for us ever or even be at the club next year but if he can build off that performance he’ll be here for a while.
