Top 5 Ruckmen at the moment

[swans4eva]

Who would your top 5 ruckmen be at the moment? Mine would probably go in this order...

1. Sandilands
2. Cox
3. Kreuzer
4. Clark
5. Mumford

Ryder and Hille a bit stiff to miss out though.

 

[Spluff]

This season? Then:

1. Sandilands
2. Hille
3. Cox
4. Jamar
5. Kreuzer

 

[kid_a]

in no order:


Sandilands
Cox
Jamar
Kreuzer
Clark

Nic Nat and Hille also up there

 

[AG]

1. Sandilands




2. Jamar
3. Hudson
4. Kreuzer
5. Mumford/Cox

I can't split the last two.

 

[swans4eva]

oop... forgot Jamar, he is easy to forget actually. Incredibly underrated, very much improved.

[half_back_flank]

Sandilands
Cox
Hudson
Jamar
Kreuzer.

Very unlucky - Ryder.

Hille has played too much forward to be included in my opinion.

Swans supports get your hand off it and stop naming Mumford

Top 10 Ruckmen in the league, according to the Champion Data Player Ranking (after Round 11, 2010):

1. Aaron Sandilands (Fremantle) - 118.7
2. Kepler Bradley (Fremantle) - 106.8
3. Angus Graham (Richmond) - 102.2
4. Patrick Ryder (Essendon) - 90.5
5. Dean Cox (West Coast) - 90.4
6. Matthew Kreuzer (Carlton) - 88.7
7. Shane Mumford (Sydney) - 85.4
8. Ivan Maric (Adelaide) - 80.0
9. Ben Hudson (Western Bulldogs) - 79.2
10. Mark Jamar (Melbourne) - 78.7

Despite the CDPR being the best all-round statistical measurement of a player's impact on the game (due to all the factors that go into it), obviously statistics aren't everything, so make of that what you will.

 

[DonMare]

Sandilands
Jamar
Cox
Kruezer
Hudson

 

[Tas]

Is this the list of one ruckman clubs that have some dude rucking 95% of the game?

Sandi is the standout, the rest aren't really worth mentioning.

He has been good.

 

[Deep Blue]

Hudson goes unnoticed but I think he would be up there.

With that beard I wouldn't think so! Seriously, a very solid competitor who on his bad days is at least serviceable: definitely underrated! What's happening with Ayce Cordy (Hudson needs a mobile bean-pole 2nd ruckman to help him out a bit)?

and thats why ithe CDPR is useless

Kep should easily be number 1

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Sandi's still the number one though he's had a lean few weeks, then Ryder, Jamar, Cox, Mumford

 

[mysainters]

Curious onyacoxy, where does Gardiner rate on that listing?

I have a feeling WCE are about to hit some form, and I think Cox will come under some notice again.

Is it okay if these opposition supporters do it?

 

[Dangas]

Sandi by far

 

[Godzke]

Depends how you measure it. Adopting a more traditional view, which means a greater weighting on effective HOs, then I wouldn't expect Ryder or Hille to feature that prominently.

As far as what they do around the ground, well, they're easily top 5.

Overall, I'd say Sandilands is an easy #1 probably followed by Cox. After that, Ryder and Hille would be fighting for positions with Mumford and Jamar.
