You seem really adamant about this. Why would you take Dixon even if based only on stats?
Personally I wouldn't, but the stats overall favour Dixon.
I guess I am trying to highlight the inherent failings of a purely statistical approach.

I think we've had that discussion around the value of statistics pretty comprehensively since a certain poster joined

It's odd that we haven't seen statsbot this week.........

Luckily for us that trick is flying at the footy from 7 deep, crunching packs and taking ridiculous marks.
Naughton almost starts chasing after the ball before he hits the ground after a marking contest, he's like a cat
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Well I disagree on the first point (as per F50 marks), and have never made the second point.
