If contested possessions and clearance don't mean anything in judging the worth of a ruckman then goals definitely don't.All extra disposals means is that those players spend far more time on ball and have an opportunity to gather more possessions - completely arbitrary stat and by itself means nothing...
Seriously.. goals as an arbitrary stat ... seriously meaningless...
As I said not all ruckman rest in the forward line, so trying to say that one who rests up forward is better than one who rests down back purely on the fact of who kicks more goals is the dumbest comparison you can make.
So on that basis Richmond should of told Rance to pack his bags because he doesn't kick goals.
