We'll have games where it works and games where it doesn't.
Regarding hitouts to advantage I think this statistic is a measure of the ability of a ruck to connect with his mids. It could be argued the stronger the midfield the harder it is to gauge how capable a ruckman a team has particularly if the tactics aren't there to win clearance dominance.
The other component of that is that our mids are that strong that you might get skewed stats because they are capable of beating a lot of opposition midfields and winning the ball irrespective of who's rucking. Would be fascinating to see mirkov ruck at afl level and see how he goes.
