Maybe because he's not a peeling HBF, he certainly isnt the 'designated kicker' like Howe often is. Id like to see his stats on uncontested marks. Gets a lot of cheap touches across half back.
They're not playing the same role. If you think they are then you dont understand footy.
You really want to go down that road?
Howe averages 2.05 contested marks per game, 8th league wide.
Lever averages 1.24, sitting pretty at 49th league wide.
So Howe takes nearly double the amount of contested marks than Lever.
Total marks per game:
Howe: 8.62 (second league wide) 6.57 uncontested, 2.05 contested.
Lever: 6.29 (38th league wide) 5.05 uncontested, 1.24 contested.
So Howe gets more uncontested and more contested marks per game than Lever. Looking forward to you spinning these stats you asked for to make out like Lever is a superior player.
Also, a player taking kick ins doesn't get a disposal stat unless they kick to themselves first, which Howe doesn't do very often. Maybe once or twice in a game, if that. It's Dunn who tends to do the kick to himself and long bomb more often than not.
