Could be the best I've seen from any side in years.

We have not missed one, we've pinned the arms and we've rolled the man every single time. We've hunted in numbers and they are fumbling in space because they are scared of the hit.

Which begs the question - where was it last week?
 
Gibbo 10, Swallow 9 (as per), Adams 8, Daw 6.

Quarter still going.

Tackles = Workrate.

This should be the standard.
 
There was even one early in the last inside their 50, think it was Gibson on Shuey. You could see him trying to lift the arm up over the shoulder but it wouldn't budge.
 
Was really pleasantly surprised with Gibson.

He's just such an honest footballer and always is trying to improve his own game and invariably quite often shows up his bigger named team-mates.

His tackling was great tonight.

Yes. He was great tonight.

There was one play where he left his man to tackle an Eagle over the boundary line. Smart play.

That tackle by Gibbo to drag Schuey I think over the boundary had me out of my seat and punching the wall!
Hit em hard North! HIT EM HARD!
My family just stared at me thinking what the hells wrong with this bloke?!
Nothing puts a smile on a North Melbourne supporters face than knowing theyre team goes hard at the footy.
MOARRRRRE!!
 
Took us half a year but we finally learnt how to stick tackles
There were some saying during the week that we had gained nothing from Donehue's appointment as tackling coach. I think last night proved otherwise. Our tackling technique compared to the same game last year was miles better!
 
Fantastic display last night, when our tackling is on we're a pretty decent side. Must bring it every week.

The hiring of a tackling coach is looking like a great move so far. The technique and subsequent ability to stick tackles has improved enormously.
