Gawn has 50 coaches votes to Xerri's 28.
Gawn averages more disposals, nearly double the marks, double the contested marks, more goals, more hitouts, more hitouts to advantage and more score involvements.
The season isn't the last few rounds, it's the entire season.
I'll be amazed if Gawn isn't the starting ruck in the AA team.
And Matt Rowell and Noah Anderson have about 30 more coaches votes than Harry Sheezel.
Less contested possessions, less clearances, less center clearances, less tackles. There’s a chance Xerri finishes ahead in a few other statistical categories as well given how close they are.
Xerri’s stats aren’t representative of just the last few rounds either. Weak argument
