The AFL’s definition of a tackle is below. I only knew that the initial tackler (as long as the initial tackle falls into the definition of a tackle) is the one one given the stat because I was watching a game one day and there appeared to be many more tackles in it than what the stats stated. 

When a player stops an opposition player with possession of the ball from getting his kick or handball away in a legal manner, or reduces the effectiveness of the opposition's disposal. The tackler's action must change the course of play.

Thanks Ethan.

Given that definition, we laid very few tackles this year. 

We are however, very good at the one armed, brushed off, attempted tackle.

 

Handy player with more composure and better skills than ANB, Stretch, JKH etc.

If someone improves your list and can be acquired at value, you look at him.

Welcome back Matsuo. You’re persistent, I’ll give you that.

Where’s Tiger Dan Butler at?

Can confirm Dan Butler is meeting with his management today to discuss his future. If he gets an offer from elsewhere, he might be off.

Toured Carlton’s facilities today I think reported on Channel 7?

Now that we’re done looking at Elliot, how about this bloke. 

2017: 30.15 from 23 games

2018: 18.10 from 15 games

2019: 5.3 from 7 games

Won’t be shooting the lights out, however would do well in our forward system .

That 2017 year where he was involved in the Tigers premiership tilt kicking 30 odd with 5 or 6 as well during the finals series amongst the likes of Rioli, Caddy and Castagna is pretty decent indicator of his ability. Would certianly come cheap in terms of both $$$ and picks. I don’t think he’s gone that far backwards, simply others like Bolton have gone past him. 

Kicked 21 from 15 games this year in the VFL which isn't amazing, however a fresh start could be exactly what he needs to get back into form, much like Sam Lloyd's move to the doggies has rejuvenated his career into an almost 2 goal a game player. Could definitely exceed 25+ goals for a small forward which would really compliment our forward mix which is imo far too reliant on taking marks inside 50 especially given how atrocious our delivery is.

His numbers are pretty average. There arent many decent Goal scoring options available outside of Elliott and Daniher.
 

We should’ve just kept Garlett.

Unfortunately Jeffy seemed to be on a gradual downward spiral (mentally switching off?) from the moment this came out LT.  And i'm not saying this was the cause but was it another Champion Data lead curse!??...

DEMON IS BEST SMALL FORWARD IN THE COMP: LUFF

BY SEN 2 YEARS AGO

Champion Data’s Glenn Luff has used a number of key performance indicators to find the most valuable small forward of the 2017 season thus far, and it is a player that almost no-one would’ve guessed.

While talking on SEN’s Pure Footy, Luff has concluded that Jeff Garlett is the most efficient small forward in the AFL at the moment, using measures such as forward half pressure points, groundball gets inside 50, forced turnovers and average goals scored to make his decision....

I dont exactly see them growing on trees at the moment. Garlett was far too cooked  to persist with, imagine the uproar here if we passed on Elliot, Butler and Gray to keep him?

This is one of our main deficiencies at the MFC, will be extremely disappointed if we don't bring in a ready made small forward.

Dan Butler fits the bill nicely age demographic, stats wise etc.

Get it done MFC.

He’s the right age, but is there much potential improvement in him? Stats-wise, he seems a worse version of Neal-Bullen and hardly worth targeting. Tigers are happy to let him go. He’s the JKH of their list!

Would rather Cody Weightman TBH.

JKH or more a stay at home defensive "pressure" forward LT.  We have lost pretty much our only genuine one in Jeffy and we got a little from Tracc when he was playing there but sounds like he'll be spending significantly more time in the mid.


Carlton have lost interest. Obviously too many other irons in the fire.

ANB doesnt have any sort of speed to apply pressure or be that goal sneak forward. I get that Butler doesnt exactly shoot the lights out as an option but its a department we severely lack in now that Garlett is gone. The club surely wouldnt have turfed him knowing that we wouldnt replace him, hence the interest in Elliot. The only 2 we have right now that could fulfill that develop into that who have some experience in the seniors are Baker or Lockhart. Butler wont cost much, and at worst would be on a 2 year or so deal so if doesnt work out we move on.

He was very good for the Tigers in 2017 when he won a flag with them. His pressure and tackling in the forward 50 was elite. 

Walk up start as a small forward in our best 22 imo so it’s a yes from me.

If he can get back to the pace, tackling pressure and goal sense of 2017, he would be a steal.  His intensity is very good.  Something lacking in our prior small forwards.

What a headline.  The article merely suggests he might be someone we could look at based on the fact we missed out on Elliott.  At no point is there any evidence from either club or player that we have even a small amount of interest in him.

It's the most wonderful time of the year ...

 

What’s his main attribute ? Is he quick?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

    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.
