Yes. Averaged 15.5 in 2021. Big improvement. But he did play big stints up forward and not in the ruck last season.

Can't find all his stats maybe someone else can.
It's hard to tell as he played a lot forward last year and in 2020 the games were shorter.
His career average is seventeen:

Re: Three things you've learned round six 2022 v Adelaide
1. We are officially pretty shit.
2. We arent playing finals
3. Something is not right at the club and if we arent careful a few good players might want out
The curse is dead.

I just provided them for ol' man B4L! Didn't say whether they were relevant.

Hey Jee, I mean watching him live, I can see he is winning more tap outs.

I wrapped up what I was doing by half time so only really missed the second quarter. Lucky me.

How many are his opponents averaging?
Yep, he’s number have improved, but his ruck minutes have gone up pretty dramatically so you’d sort of expect them to.

1. The Ground announcer at Ballarat is just as f**** annoying as the one at Docklands.
2. Quite nice pies and they take cash.
3. Ballarat is quite nice in Autumn. If you haven't tried it, give it a go.

How were the logistics this year? Was it easier to get into the ground? Last year with the COVID protocols there were long lines which was dissapointing.

Re: Three things you've learned round six 2022 v Adelaide
1. Our only decent Ruckman is out, so we spend ALL DAY kicking the ball to THEIR ruckman. ALL...... EFFING...... DAY.
With the same result. Ball comes back into their forward line. I can only conclude from that, that we are dumb, and we have no decent strategy, or game plan A, or B, or C.
2. We play like a bunch of individual heroes trying to stitch consecutive heroic moments together into a tapestry of glory. Adelaide played like a team and we should have really lost by a lot more.
3. My frustration and anger with our recruiting staff just grows and grows. (not drafting, drafting is great) It was as obvious as nuts on a bull that our season would be over with injuries to Keath or English and now they're BOTH injured and.........well, our season is over I believe. Zaine tries his heart out, I'm not gonna criticise him. Martin is so...... so cooked. He is char grilled, slow baked, triple fried, marinated, roasted, toasted, dipped in batter and deep fried, air fried, sun dried, parboiled, corned, salted, bottled and DONE!!! People say the recruiting staff 'tried' to get replacements. You don't get paid to TRY at this level. Every one with at least half a functioning brain cell knew we needed Key defender back up and ruck back up. Every drooling inbred expert that rang SEN knew. Every hack writing blogs and pre season analysis pieces knew. And WE knew it, we knew it the year before too........ Maybe cost us a flag. Might cost us a potential dynasty. That was one of the worst games of football I've ever sat through.

Really good AP, I arrived about 20 mins prior to kick off and walked straight in. No queues out the front like last season.

Thanks. Excellent news. I have been a number of times and have always had a great day out with the family. Will definitely go again. Just left my run a little late this year and around 10 days out I could not get four seats in a row.
