Today was a good indication of how 'good/bad' our backup ruck options were.
Player - RC - HO - HTA - RC-HTA% - TOG% - Disposals
Silvagni - 36 - 12 - 7 - 19.4% - 77% - 17 -
Young - 61 - 14 - 1 - 1.6% - 77% - 13 -
McKay - 5 - 1 - 1 - 20% - 92% - 19 -
-------
Meek - 61 - 32 - 6 - 9.8% - 73% - 7 -
Reeves - 43 - 29 - 6 - 14% - 50% - 5 -
Centre clearances
Hawks - 12
Blues - 11
Total Clearances -
Hawks - 34
Blues - 39
End result?
Silvagni got elite RC-HTA% numbers - (Technically, as did Harry, but he only attended 5 contests, so data is insignificant)
Young, despite the extra size, is not a ruckman with only 1 hitout from 61 ruck contests attended.
Around the ground, Silvagni got more of the ball than Young (and more than TDK and Pittonet average 11-10 respectively) as well as hitting the scoreboard.
Now i keep pointing out that IDGAF who plays as our 2nd ruck as long as they can hold their own and play around the ground.
People accuse me of being a Silvagni booster because of his name, but the stats cannot be argued with. He is thrust into the ruck because he is by far our best 'non-ruck' option.....who performs on a par with our 2nd ruck option, but surpasses their output around the ground.
FWIW, Silvagni had 10 score involvements today.
