They might even talk about Saturday night ?

Looking at the replay (Thank God for the replays on afl.com.au!), Honey played probably his best game in the first quarter: he hit the ball hard, got it and used it reasonably. As for the rest of game, I wonder if he was out there.
Corey Durdin was also very active early, but relatively ineffective after quarter time.
Fisher managed to get 21 possessions, but still underwhelmed. I'd be looking at replacing him soon with someone who can tackle. Maybe someone who can make a decision, if we have someone like that. 1 tackle was all he could manage. Pittonet had 6! Cripps had 8! Walsh had 10!
Live Long and Prosper!

Charlie and Kemp didn’t manage one tackle … but 14 and 13 marks might save them from the axe.
Players can follow their instructions to the letter without laying a tackle. After being down last week, I suspect that Fish met his targets.
Apparently Fish was second for pressure acts.

It's quite bizarre to consider what is considered "a tackle", versus what is a 1%er, pressure act, contested possession, etc., etc.. The definitions as controlled by the AFL are so rubbery they are barely worth collecting.
For example, Fisher had 1 Tackle, but is 20 Pressure Acts which puts him 2nd only behind Walsh.
