You know what I'm getting from all these stats is this...
Hit out stats are totally useless.
HTA stats are also pretty useless given their low frequency.
Even clearance stats aren't that reliable unless the clearance clearly advantages your side.
The thing that really matters is the connection between your ruckman and his midfielders in terms of positioning, both attacking and defensive, and the second efforts of all players in the vicinity.
That's not something you can measure with a statistic.
It's something you observe.
If you're in any doubt about who was the most effective ruckman in our game last weekend just watch the game again.
