Remember the old adage; garbage in, garbage out?
Most football stats are garbage and more so when considered in isolation and/or without a context. For example, the statistics would suggest that Goldy was the best ruckman on the ground but most observers, those that count anyway, would have the King as the best ruckman and best on ground to boot.
Nailed it!

Carlton 96 to Essendon 70 is what I care most about. Everything else can be read in many ways to suit anyone and many times will just muddy the water.
Nailed it!
