Rd 1 Carlton vs Richmond Post Game Prognostications

[DJC]

Anyone else irked by all the missed tackles last night? I thought it was a major issue.

I thought that some of our tackling was pretty good; we generally tackled with intent and let the Tigers know that they were in for some treatment.  Our tackling in the forward 50 was good; 8 to 4.  However, we lost the tackle count 51 to 60 and the seven players who spent most of the game in defence had seven tackles between them.

The midfielders led the way and, while I wouldn't want them to ease off, we really need others to contribute, particularly the blokes who aren't touching the pill.  Someone like White should really be using his size and strength to bring opponents down and everyone should be working harder to make their tackles stick.
