probably wouldnt call that a crunch.

[guusyiddink]

if that's not a crunch then there has never been a crunching tackle in the history of vfl/afl football

[bennyradloff]

we must have different interpretations of a crunch.

agree to disagree?

i just see a crunch as a big hip n shoulder or collision.

that was just a tackle. and a fantastic one at that.

[guusyiddink]

that's fair enough. a hip and shoulder will always be more crunching than a tackle purely because the force that comes from a hip and shoulder is greater than the middle of the chest.

make no mistake though, kerr is unbelievably strong yet gilbert moved him a good 3 metres. :)

I'll be honest (im a sydney fan) that was a good and fair tackle but not a crunch

[beth woodman]

my sammy!!!

[dylan6480]

he isnt strong, he is tough as nails.gilbert is what 90kg? and kerr is about 78kg, and he didnt move kerr 3m kerr moved gilbert 3 metres, as gilbert was hanging off kerr, so really didnt so shit. what i liked is that kerr got the handpass away, so the tackle meant nothing lol

[robert hewitt]

you didn't show the part where kerr got straight back up

after like 5 seconds

[Natcam3]

he moved the 3 metres on his own feet though, which just suggests he was forced in that direction... a crunching tackle you would typically expect someone to be lifted off their feet like running into a brick wall

[Ultimatepanzer]

He's an ex-rugby player, that's why

[TheBenandtom]

that was so a high tackle by the way awesome tackle

[Matt Fleming]

from a west coast eagles fan, that was a crunching tackle!

[Aussieboy8]

[baxterules34]
