Actually wasnt that big a difference. Looks like Gawn won a bunch of meaningless hitouts (not sure if credit is to Oscar or the mids for that).Oscar did not take 1 mark last night and has taken 3 marks in the 5 games so far this season, as a comparison Ivan Soldo who is just a run of the mill ruck has taken 10 marks in 4 games... Gawn 33 in 6 games, although he is along with Dean Cox one of the 2 best ruckman of the AFL era.
I have often posted that IMO hit out stats are meaningless so I don't read anything into them at all, however would be interested in how many hit outs to advantage Gawn had last night which can be very damaging.
Gawn: 96 (Ruck Contests), 51 (HitOuts), 53.1 (HTWin%), 12 (HTAdvantage), 23.5 (HTA%)
Oscar: 87 (RC), 26 (HO), 29.9 (HTW%), 8 (HTA), 30.8 (HTA%)
Actually Oscar won Hit Outs to advantage at a much higher rate
