2018 Rd 13: Pre Game Pressure: Carlton vs Fremantle at Etihad

[kruddler]

I'll disagree a little, if you can prevent a dominant ruckman from getting the hitouts and influencing the game like a Sandilands, Grundy or Nic Nat then
a lesser skilled tap ruckman still has a purpose..

Preventing that dominant ruckman from getting hitouts and influencing games is directly reflected in the 'hitouts to advantage' stats. Which is why i said thats the only thing worth mentioning. Hitouts itself shows how many times a player got his hand on the ball, not how effective that was.
