Who do you think are the hardest players in the AFL to tackle?

Question

I think Amon Buchanan is very good at shrugging tackles, not often he gets caught one on one.

Answer 1

Dale Thomas - that kid can run!

Answer 2

Although I'm sick of hearing his name this year,

in the last couple of seasons I haven't seen too many people put a tackle on.......

Chris Judd.

"Go Crows"

Answer 3

Gary Ablett-seems very strong through the hips and never seems to get tackled

Luke Hodge-just a hard nut and hard to stop

Chris Judd-slippery,fast and an ability to weave through a pack

Paul Chapman-just a rock type that's hard to get a grip on

Answer 4

Robert Harvey has always been difficult to tackle

Answer 5

nick dal santo or scott pendelbury, both have lots of time and good  awareness.

Answer 6

Andrew McLeod, Fraser Gehrig, Fev and John Brown

Answer 7

stewart dew cos he is so fat now

Answer 8

Stokes for Geelong seems pretty slippery, also Daniel Kerr is a very hard man to tackle.

But the best would be Paul Chapman from the Cats, that b*****d is tough, one of my favourite players.

Answer 9

i think Gary Ablett is by far the hardest. He more often than not breaks tackles that other players would be wrapped up with..it has to do with his strength in his hips and shoulders

Answer 10

Ablett G for Geesus - his steps and change of pace and his sheer acceleration are amazing

Chapman, P for Perfect with his ability to drop low and draw the free (much like Archer)

Sounds biased but tackling and evading were big elements in winning the flag.

Anyone with the surname Burgoyne.

And then of course you have units like Cam Mooney and Barry Hall for totally different reasons.  I ain't standing there!

Riccuito was a man who always seemed to have an extra half hour to decide what to do.

Answer 11

I agree, it's not often you will see Amon Buchanon wrapped up in a tackle. I'm so surprised everyone has forgotten about Daniel Kerr, he shakes heaps of tackled but is probably aimed at alot. Gary Ablett Jnr also has strong core stregth and can shake a tackle well. One person said the Burgoynes maybe Shaun but time has caught up with Peter. Scott Pendlebury can sort of but not quite, well at least not yet.
