The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[Baggers]

The problem is the stats are only as good as the words that define them, I think some of the stats used in AFL are quite rubbery, they aren't black and white like say an injection count or a death.

Some are even ambiguous, like the Contested Marking stat, a Contested Mark is Contested Mark even if there is no physical contact, some of the ruck stats are equally ambiguous. So to me that means they can be taken many ways, in both analysis and assignment, which makes them useless in isolation.

Context is everything, it's no like Moneyball, that's a Hollywood Fantasy.

Yep, it's where the words 'effective' or 'to advantage' should be added to further qualify the legitimacy of the 'stat'.
