2019 Top Tacklers

[Tiger2709]

Remarkable stat - we have 3 of the top 20 tacklers and yet we'd probably be the lowest tackling team (certainly feels that way)

Everyone else must be sitting on their hands.

Probably by design, let those three do the tackling while the others dothe kick mark which WCE specialise in.

A tackler is usually not available to recieve the next pass so having too many tacklers in your team wouldn't work.

Hocking wants everyone on that list banned from the AFL.

That's why he had the chart made, to track them down. They are ruining our game.

 

[The Warlord]

would be interesting to see a "most terror, fear and pain inflicted per tackle" statistic because Jed Anderson would have to be at the top of that list

Cam Zurhaar has blokes thinking twice as well.

Reckon individual tackle numbers are only relevant to the individual. So don't mean much.

Team pressure ratings and team tackle numbers seems to be the stat that influences games of football.

Josh Kennedy did in 2016 from memory, had him for Norm Smith and honestly still think he should’ve won it.

Boyd for mine. He dominated. But I dont know if he ever laid a tackle

If Jack Steele was still playing for the Giants everyone would be frothing over him but he barely gets mentioned these days even though in my opinion he is the best tackler in the league. In saying that Yeo is the 2nd best and you take him over Steele every day of the week.

It is a bit that way. After 20 rounds the next best after your top 3 is Oscar Allen on 55. Most other teams quite a few around the 60-80...

So just to be clear here. The word s**t is banned but pictures of the word s**t are okay?

You've clearly never seen Nic Nat or Mumford lay a tackle. Soon as they get hold of you, last thing you'll be wondering is what food they'll be serving for breakfast in the hospital tomorrow morning

I nominate Ben Long for this list as well

 

[Ancient Tiger]

I know he doesn’t have any tackle numbers worth mentioning but Mabior Chol tackles like he wants to kill the oppo player. I think the oppo players are aware of that too!

 

[avishka5]

Nn out injured - seeing as the mrp pretty much invented a rule midseason for him if he werent injured that would be his crown

Yeo's been pretty terrifying this season. Has buried so many bodies into the ground this season. Feel sorry for the Carlton kid on debut trying to take him on.

Jed Anderson is half their size and just as brutal

Lol. Comparing Anderson to Mumford is ridiculous. Don't get me wrong - Anderson is a great tackler. But the number of players who leave the field after Mumford tackles is significant. He dumps his whole weight on them.

Richmond supporters upset none of their players were mentioned in a thread, and try make it about their players and/or mention the 2017 Grand Final.

I’m shocked.

Stop being childish. The poster was simply pointing out that using averages, there is another player from another team whose numbers stack up with the leaders.

God forbid we have a facts based discussion on BF without some young child turning this into a shitfest.
