Amazing how so many people here often run a loose playing soft often unaccountable tagger (Addison) up a flagpole or an experienced half forward who should know better than to keep playing ridicuoulsly wide (Murphy)
Yet continue to critisise a hard working small forward who actualy plays fairly straight (Hill) because the dont like the way he sometimes appears on TV.
Lets get a reality check he might duck his head, but he also stands in front of traffic trying to take a mark. He also often gets goals in games and takes contested marks
He also does what a few of us long standing Doggie fans like to see in the good years and the not so good years..Josh has a red hot go..if he cant get the pill at least he tackles and makes a nuisance of himself.
He does friggin something !
Something Rob Murphy is struggling to do, he also makes a lot more tackles than Murphy or Addison. IMHO he is a lot tougher player than both of them
Congratulations to Dylan Addison
According to the Herald Sun stats the only player on the whole ground from both sides not lay a single tackle
Special Credits go out to those who laid 1 tackle for the night (a wet night where tackling should have been easier)
Shaun Higgins and Ben Hudson...take a bow
Honorable Mentions to those who made 2 tackles
Robbie Murphy, Lindsay Gilbee, Ryan Hargrave, Brennan Stack and Tom Williams
5 Bulldogs laid 40 of the 83 tackles against Melbourne
Hill 10, Griffen 9, Gia 9, Cross 6 and Grant 6
Another 4 Dog's laid 4 tackles Harbrow, Akermanis, Hahn and Boyd
That is 56 out of our 83 tackles were laid by 9 players in our side or 67% of our tackles are made by 41% of our players.
Melbourne on the other hand
10 Demons laid 48 of the 88 tackles against Western Bulldogs
McDonald 10, Bruce 6, McKenzie 6, Garland 6, Scully 5, Dunn 5, Davey 5, Frawley 5, Bartrum 5 and Green 5
Another 4 Demons laid 4 tackles Jones, Trengove, Moloney and Bate
64 of their 88 tackles were laid by 14 players in their side or 75% of their tackles made by 64% of their players.
