Tried to find footage of it but couldn't; anyone seen a link?

When searching though, I found this:

Tackles of the week - Rd 21:

The last tackle is Riley and is very similar to this weeks.

    Shame he was very average other than his tackle

    Anyone would've been average playing in the front half for us in the time Riley was on the ground. And he's just not fit enough to go in the middle.

    So he's made of the right stuff so let's wait for next year is my theory.

    Love his attack on the ball but he has work to do

    He'll be better for the game time. Long way to go, but shows some good glimpses of what he might be.

    On a side note, how is Michie travelling at Casey?

    I look forward to seeing him after a full preseason.

    Playing an inside mid at Casey is much different to playing a small forward at senior level. We don't seem to be able to fit him in the middle but want him in the team. I think he'll be good but he's learning a new role.

    Apologies for the lack of sound.
    I just couldn't tolerate Dwayne Russell's abhorrent commentating any longer.

    Posting under Carrot Top I made mention that a Crows mate of mine was filthy we snagged him. He reckoned that he had the best tackle of any footballer he'd seen. I reckon he might be right considering we haven't seen this guy have a preseason yet, and he still produces something like that.

    Such an awesome tackle. Wrapped him up and dumped him. We should do that more often. Physically imposing ourselves on the game is a big step towards winning every week.

    Surely he'll get rubbed out for wearing a demons jumper??

    Holy [censored] that would have hurt!

    what a tackle!

    Love how he just gets up and keeps running towards the flow of players, as if nothing even happened. Meanwhile the Bombers player is down like a sack of potatoes.

    Riley will be great for us in a few pre-seasons, but I think his tank is pretty limited at the moment.

    Love the tackle.

    But gee that passage of play was ordinary. So many plays caught in no mans land. Even Riley is late on Merrett despite the hospital handball and can't impact play. Loose man (?Grimes) caught in a useless spot. Forwards chasing but it's all a bit token and we let one of their defenders (Hibberd?) free on the outside chain of the handball. Chip I think it is charging in from the next line of forwards but he shouldn't be required to do that running.

    Luckily we win the contest in the back half I think and then we play 18 v 17 for a while whilst Merrett is in the hands of the trainers. But yeah it's a perfect piece of game film to highlight some poor work from the stoppage.

    Pretty much for a half and more they have much more run through the midfield and could create passages like this. It was a great effort to stick in the game so long.

    That tackle turned the tide. We took control of the match from that point.

    He is from NSW, maybe he played a bit of rugby?

    That was my exact thought - definite League tackle.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
