The odd shaped oval ball can bounce sideways, or zig zag like a slinky on cocaine, and it's advantage.
The sweeper can do as the name says and clean the pill from a stumbling team-mate, and it's a win.
All to the great credit of the rucks, I never realised the statisticians were mind readers!
I'm sorry Kruddler, I realise you've invested a lot of time and effort in and based on the Hitout to Advantage stuff, but it's largely a stat invented by someone who has no fecking idea of ruck play or stoppages. We can rename it "The Mystery Stat" or perhaps "The Houdini", because nobody has any idea what happened!
In summary, you've lost the argument and resorting to nonsense to back you up.
If you cannot work out what 'to advantage' means, then we should give you a footy jumper and ship you out as part of the best 22, because it appears they do not understand that either.
If however, you are like 99% of football watchers, including statisticians, you understand exactly what that means.
Even umpires no what 'an advantage' is....and we can all agree they know nothing about football generally.
