It depends on who is hitting them and who is in position to reap the rewards.
I think that our plan was to disrupt the hitouts so that they didn't provide an advantage to the Freo mids. Young and Silvagni put a lot of effort into buffeting Darcy and Jackson so that their hitouts weren't well-directed. Our mids were able to shark the hitouts or shut down the Freo mids when they did gather hitouts. It's a situation where a "hitouts to disadvantage" statistic would be useful.
