Oscar McInerney is a ruckman in the mould of the Leigh Matthews era, almost completely innocuous in media attention compared to the club's star-studded midfield and forward options but just turning up to do the job on the QT. Ruck work can be rather difficult to gauge in terms of quality, and clearance numbers tend to wax and wane throughout a game, but McInerney's role is to not let things get out of hand to let his coalface brigade go to work. An occasional goal would be handy, but he lets others do most of the link work and earns his pay in other, less flashy ways.
