I bet ya could guess who are going to fill in these spots. Yeah, your right, Cox and Sandilands. They are really the only two decent ruckmen, and if you ever upgrade a ruckmen, your wasting a trade if you dont get either of these. Hille has had a late push to get a gig, averaging a quite amazing 147 in the last three rounds, and makes Mountain roughly the same price as the great Cox. Jeff White is the other that gets close, but being dropped twice this year and only four scores over 100 and an average of 90-odd. He aint no star.
1. Dean 'Big' Cox
Everyones favourite number one ruckmen has not let anyone down this year with an average of 112, thats 9 off the next best, or a total of 127 points for the whole year. Should be the first picked player in every side, every year. Only those with balls will avoid Cox next season. Not only is he is averaging 112, he is doing it with one leg. I spose that stays true to his name. Imagine what he going to be like next year with two legs. Wow. But, the thing that has surprised be the most about looking through his stats is that this is Coxs best year ever, yes, you remember at the start of the year when everyone was saying you must have Cox, well, he only averaged 98 in 2007 and 99 in 2006. Then, I found out the next best in Ottens had an average of only 92. This year has been quite a good year for ruckmen, but most of us still sit on Troy Simmonds, the 17th best ruckmen, averaging 66.
2. Aaron '211' Sandilands
If you dont have Cox, you better have 211 cause it gets pretty dry after him. This bloke has really stood up this year, despite the rest of his team being pretty damn bad. He only averaged 72 last year, bloody hell, thats nearly worse than Simmo. The tallest bastard to ever play footy is really hitting his straps, even if he might be getting cheap points floating around half back. Which he done very well in his career high 172 vs Geelong, not only that but from memory thats the highest score any one has ever got when playing Geelong. Only once scoring below 80. This bloke is well worth a look if you want to upgrade Troy, who has scored below 80 a massive 10 times.
Next time, forwards.
TEAM OF THE YEAR: PART 3.
