I stand by the fact from watching and playing both sports Aussie rules footballers fail to adapt their tackling style to different players.
That's why Dusty Martin barely gets a finger layed on him......they all try and take him at chest high where he has the strength and technique to palm them off. FFS you have to go at his hips and get the head under the arm he palms off with and accept your not going to get the holding the ball but look to dispose him under pressure.
Ginnivan and Selwood just get the head low and aim at thigh level and you will make a solid tackle around the hips by the time they drop.
Not that ******* hard

That's not true either - both Union and League have play unfolding in front of them, you have ample time to assess and make the correct tackle. Obviously if a big towering poly is coming you try and go lower, but 90% of the time - especially in League - if you're first to make contact, you need to be hitting high.
That's where technique, feet and handles come into it, so you can position yourself to make a strong tackle.
You make it sound like all Rugby code players are naturally gifted tacklers who just know on instinct how it's done.. I've see a lot of spuds over the journey
You genuinely cant compare the codes.

If you don't secure the ball in Aussie Rules, or pin an arm and do go low, you're allowing a simple handball out option, and then as a defender you're automatically out of the play.

Dusty is probably a bad example, because he is so strong through the core, going low he's equally likely to shrug off a tackler anyway - and lowering to tackle actually makes it easier to fend because you push off the top of the tackling shoulder.

It's the very strength Martin uses to shrug opponents, his core. SPP does similar at times, takes the tackles, holds the core strong, shakes them off and then shanks the kick.
