According to who? Your made up assumption?
Max gawn one of the best rucks of the modern game has averaged 5 clearances or more just once in his career....this year.
Nic Nat the modern archetype averaged 5 or more clearances just 4 times in his career.
Grundy the same.
English has only averaged over 4 once.
Who are these mythical ruckman pushing up that clearance average?
Fwiw, pitto averages 7.5 this year which is elite (afl stat's determination, not mine) which means top 10% in his category (rucks). So at worst there might be 2 players ahead of him.
....and this is from the bloke people said was no good after the hitout was taken.
Give the man some credit.
