Stats can be misleading, but they can also show a gap in the perception of fans.These stats probably need to compared with entries into forward line, how both perform under pressure, free kicks for and against. Lonie does make sure the slightest contact is maximised, heat maps and distances.
Stats can tell us a lot but they can also hide a lot, can't help but wonder how Dunstan compares with Dusty Martin, my guess is he'd be close but somehow he's a long wy from being Dusty.
Dusty runs rings around Dunstan in nearly every meaningful measure BTW, but they do play pretty different roles.
