okay what should a person expect from a fwd /ruck . the bloke who plays second ruck is freed up for 30 40 minutes a game. the bloke who plays as your kpf for big chunks of games.
for me cm, mi 50, one stat id like to see is cm i50, tackles, 1%, h/o, goals. and disposals are all important when talking about this type of player.
it seems to me your tall defenders should be right up there in 1% ers just spoiling your direct opponent would boost this stat enormously. your inside mids should have big tackle counts, tall fwds should have high marking stats weather they be contested or hitting up into space.
just common sense.
lets see big ivan
he takes 3.3 marks a game nothing special probably a bit low, of those 3.3 mks he averages just o.69 contested mks a game this yr. and further more just 0.23 are marked inside 50.
ivan lays 2.84 tackles a game this yr again imo a smidge low but combined with the blocks and bullocking work its okay. he has 3.38 1%ers a game but he does find the ball on ave 14.62 times a game hence he winning ball and handballing with second and third efforts at stoppages.
hes the main ruckman and spends most time in the role and he ave 25.8 h/o a game probably a tad low as well. to finish hthis yr hes ave just 0.3 goals a game this needs to be more imo.
when i do the same sort of exercise with griffiths vickery and hampson all are satisfactory in some areas and poor in others'
people talking about griffiths here the stats back up what i see.
and that is he doesnt find anywhere near enough ball. while he takes his share of marks and his stats are okay id say for the role we expect of him this is down a tad as well.
he doesnt take enough marks inside 50 and he certainly does not impact the scoreboard anywhere near enough. as a back up ruckman he doest win enough hit outs .
this is not criticism its reality and just pointing out what the bloke really needs to work on and improve.
