If you look at how each player covers the ground it tells a different story.

This is according to the heat maps. So what happened?
Heat maps show where players had disposals, not where they were running.
In fact, 90% of Motlop’s disposals were in defence, 40% of Fantasia’s were in defence and all four of Durdin’s disposals were in the forward line. You’d have to look at the GPS data to see how much time they spent in attack and defence.
Putting that to one side, your point about them having different roles is correct. Fantasia generally has the link up role that Cottrell does so well and he had a defensive role on Zorko for some time. Motlop usually gets back in defence but Durdin rarely goes beyond the wing.
I don’t know if the distance covered stats are published anywhere but I suspect that they would show considerable variation.
