So tackle counts can show intensity and effort but should be tempered with the style that you play.
If you are controlling the ball and hitting the scoreboard, then your tackle count wont be as high.
However you have to say on this occasion the correlation between our tackle count and wins is strong.
I was going to make mention of this but didn't want to want to complicate things. GWS have the worst tackle count this year but they have been thrashing everyone so it's a bit different to when we were getting smashed and still having a low tackle count.
One thing I have noticed is our tackles are actually sticking better lately so not only are our numbers up but the quality is better too. Port fans complained about the free kick difference but a lot of those free kicks were holding the ball.
