Opinion Hardest players to tackle

[Hollow Knight]

If you mean hardest player to even get your hands on... the answer is Jared Brennan.

Evasive as they come.

 

[Dez!]

How many players out their could tackle big Sandilands? You won't see this bloke on the turf.

Neville Jetta disagrees.

 

[Spluff]

So does Dustin Martin. Absolutely speared him.

 

[Notorious]

Brent Moloney can burst through a pack.

Harry O'Brien says hi. He almost invites tackles sometimes but they fall off him like the rocket shackles in the Apollo movies. Quick, elusive and strong as a bear through the core.

The others from our club are Swan and Pendlebury. Swan because of his core strength and ability to break a tackle and Pendlebury because his spacial awareness is so ridiculously good he simply never gets tackled in the first place. On the odd occasion that he is tackled he has an uncanny knack of still disposing in some way.

From other clubs. Judd's ability is ridiculous in that you can tackle him but he always gets his hands up to dish it off anyway. Ablett and Brennan are very elusive and are therefore hard to tackle but Ablett has the extra ability to break them when they happen. I would say most would struggle to tackle Barry Hall also

Loved Martins don’t argue fend off on big Mike Pike on Sunday… Priceless.

Out of all the players mentioned in this thread Martins my favourite, mainly because he is doing it with such ease and is still only 18

No mention of Luke Hodge after 32 posts. Unforgivable.

Stand up in a tackle as well as any, see it on a weekly basis. Can also bust through tackles (ala last week when taking centre ruck clearance).

Just an all-round great player to be truthful.

I'd have James Kelly second at Geelong bahind Gaz.

The Collinwood game in particular stands out for me. 5-6 I was left bewildered as to how he managed to have 3-4 Pies around him but still manage to burst away into space.

 

[Super Hans]

Jarrod Harbrow. /thread

 

[AsianWithAFro]

Swan, Joel Selwood, Judd, Ablett

They all have excellent core strength

Dean Rioli and Dew were pretty hard too due to having there own gravitational pull

Also Cyril is a slippery little bugger too

 

[saintkildaman]

Jarred Brennan.

 

[Special88]

Ablett is the best at it, also david rodan and dangerfield are up there.

Surprised no one has mentioned lenny hayes? one of the best at the dont argue i have seen

Pendlebury is pretty hard to catch based on elusiveness.

Not saying he is great at breaking tackles or dishing out don't argues, but he manages to twinkle toe his way away from tacklers before they can get a grasp, Dal Santo is good at this aswell.
