2nd in hit outs per game
1st in goals for ruckmen (didnt include Hale as he plays majority forward)
2nd in marks for ruckmen
4th in disposals for ruckmen (behind Jacobs, McIntosh and Cox)
Frees hes 38 for and 15 against which is the best ratio of ruckmen
I think he's being underrated by some.
Agreed. Although Ryder's great asset to a team is that he is a point of difference. His flexibility and great athleticism combined with his excellent kicking ability allow him to have far greater impact than the raw stats often show.
For instance next year if Bellchambers remains uninjured there's every chance he kicks 20 goals and averages 30 hit outs but there's no way he snaps a 40m goal or kicks a left foot banana to win the game like Ryder will.
