It's a search for meaning and context, not an attempt at diminution.
I think tackle count is one of the more deceptive statistical indicators. As the article below states, the Hawks won the 2014 flag with the 3rd lowest tackle count of all 18 clubs.
When I get some time, I would like to compare other stats of R1-4 v 5-8, to try and get a fuller picture of how to account for the 4 wins.
