VFL Rd 5: Northern Blues vs Casey Scorpions

[crashlander]

Says 14 tackles on alf.com.au. That sounds more likely - still a very good effort.

The stats differ over what they consider a 'completed tackle'. I do not know what the difference in definition actually is, but it is something that has occurred before. The club considers things more harshly, as it is the effect of the tackle, not the grabbing per se, that is more important. By the club's definition Graham had 14. By the official stats service it was 25. No particular big deal.
The same issue arises for kicks and handballs and even ruck taps, although the difference is not normally so significant. I cannot recall differences of more than a couple before.

LP is right: someone like Clarkson, while happy that Graham had made the tackles, would be more worried about why other midfielders had not made a similar contributions.
