HO-Hit outs  HAD- Hitouts to advantage  HAD%- hitouts to advantage efficiency

I'm a bit surprised to read the ruck stats and how low the hitout to advantage efficiency is.   Would love to see the stats of what follows the hitouts to advantage in terms of clearances and scores.

It seems to be an area that could greatly benefit the team if a formula could be devised to give our midfielders first use of the ball.  Obviously a lot easier said than done.

Troy is obviously awesome around the ground so would it be better for us to have both ruckmen on the ground when Trent is available, with him taking most of the centre rucks? 

Would it be more beneficial to sometimes thump the ball from a ruck contest to a team mate further out rather than try to finess tapping it to a team mate?
