Van der Flier's record across these appearances is defined by his tackle output — averaging nearly five per game as a replacement points to a consistently high defensive workload in limited minutes. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his primary impact when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball. A peak of 14 tackles in a single outing underlines the ceiling of that contribution when called upon heavily.
