Since his breakout season in 2005, in which he was named at full-back in the All Australian side, Rutten has developed into one of the leagues most reliable defenders. He has played 69 of a possible 72 games since 2005, missing all three of those games in 2007. He conceded 32 goals in 20 games last season never conceding more than three goals in a match. Rutten is also a safe user of the ball as his disposal efficiency was the best of any Adelaide player to play more than one game last season.
