Position Rucks Discussion

I've prepared the following table with the ruck contests of Gawn v Tmac/Preuss/Weiderman based on the above. Haven't yet done a comparison with the 2018 stats but if people are interested, could do it over the long weekend. As a basic indicator, including finals, Gawn averaged 71 RCs (from 25 games), TMac averaged 8 (from 20 games), Weiderman averaged 14 (from 10 games)
In round one, Gawn spent less time in the ruck due to some injury.
In round four, his % ruck contests dropped from ~88% to ~70%.

Do you think round 1 was an exception due to be hindered by Ryder and Lycett and without Pruess rounds 2+3 would be his norm going forward?
Hope Pruess misses this week even though it’d likely only be one week with what Goodwin is saying about wanting Pruess in the side.
Also helps Marshall slightly if Pruess misses.

Perhaps I don't need to do this sort of analysis, just found a tool that does it already.

Bulldogs' ruck strategy to stay unchanged after Collingwood blowout
Yan Zhuang April 18, 2019
The Western Bulldogs are unlikely to make significant changes to their ruck strategy despite being dominated in hit outs in last week's loss to Collingwood, according to coach Luke Beveridge...……."There's more to the game than the hit outs and we feel like Tim English's really progressing. We were rapt with his impact in other phases of the game."
Josh Dunkley was trying to pinch in and help, Beveridge said, and the inclusion of experienced Jackson Trengove was a possibility.
………..When asked whether there would be changes to selection this week, Beveridge confirmed that "there will be. We need to reward some of the really good performances from the boys who've been playing for Footscray."...…...
Star midfielders Marcus Bontempelli and Patrick Cripps will be in the heat of the battle but not locked together in an all-ground contest.
"They'll definitely be in around that contest together for large portions of the game," Beveridge said.
"But I wouldn't imagine Bolts [Carlton coach Brendon Bolton] is going to assign any reponsibility there.
"Marcus won't have any responsibility directly to control [Cripps'] output over the four quarters."...…..
