    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.

    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.
