Highest tackle count...

[Grin]

In AFL/VFL history.

And continuing on the historical theme.
A tackle for every year of Port Adelaide Power/Magpies combined 140 history which they celebrated yesterday.

Well done Tigers.

I guess the conditions deemed that there would be a lot of tackles but to smash the record for tackles is still a good thing for the confidence of a young side.

Great result for a young team.
I never thought Richmond would break the record in that area especially after the Wallace years.

Credit should be given to Hardwick and our new coaching team.

Angry Angus also laid the most tackles by a ruckmen in VFL/AFL level ever!!!

For what its worth, i think Port themselves were only 2 tackles behind the record too.

We had 142, Port had 116 and if i recall correctly the record was 118 (St.Kilda).
