Well that is interesting. So a tackle that forces a turnover, but not a free or a stoppage gets nothing?
So say Zorko tackles Martin, ball drops free and Daniher picks the ball and kicks a goal, Zorko doesn’t get a tackle🤔

Anything except the ball legitimately being passed to a teammate should cause a tackle stat to be recorded. Not sure about the ball being legitimately handball/kicked but not going to anyone.

I could be be wrong, going off memory from 4 or 5 years ago, actually I think the above maybe is what gets you most points from CD. Got a feeling their is also another tier of point scoring (slightly lower) for impeding an opposition from getting an effective disposal.

Would need to go back and look at the definitions CD released in the paper a few years ago.

You need to cause a stoppage or be paid the free in order to be credited with a tackle.

Missed Tackle (Broken Tackle)

Q: The player clearly made physical contact with the opponent but no tackle was awarded. Why?

A: If a player is being impeded by an opponent and then breaks the attempted tackle to get a disposal away, then no tackle will be awarded.

Q: A player was tackled as they disposed of the ball. Why wasn’t a tackle awarded?

A: If a player attempts to tackle a player in the act of disposing of the ball, and that disposal is deemed to be effective, then no tackle will be awarded. If it leads to an ineffective disposal or a clanger disposal, or prevent a disposal, then a tackle shall be awarded. The defensive player is credited with a tackle attempt.

Tackles

Q: What if there is more than one player applying a tackle?

A: After a tackle has been applied, if a second player or a third player (and so on) from the same team arrive and also apply a tackle and they have an impact on the ball carrier, then they’ll get awarded with a tackle too. If they don’t impact the ball carrier, then they won’t get paid a tackle.
