They are one of the most effective ruck combinations in the AFL. You can argue whether they tap to advantage, but even if they tap randomly every hitout they get is one the opposing ruck doesn't, effectively negating the influence of the whoever they ruck against.
    I agree with you sanecow,if they were so bad why are our midfielders doing so well.Our weakest spot is in defence.
    Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

        It's not a stat for the opposing ruckman, but its certainly not negating their influence if the hitout does not go to advantage

            If you had a choice between Cox tapping deftly to Judd or Chambers knocking the ball to a 50:50 which would you take?

                Obviously the 50:50. But the point was made with regard to the opposite ruckman exerting influence - if the outcome of the contest is a 50:50 then that is likely to be due to the opposite ruckmans influence. You referred to 'negating influence' and that aint the reality.

                    I think you are missing the point.

                            For what is worth, Sanecow, I agree with you.
