If Judd had the disposal efficiency of say Cross, Ablett, Mitchell, Stanton... or basically any player on that list, would he be regarded as one of the elite midfielders in the game?
(thankfully for Judd I didn't list the turnovers )

$1.2 million a year for a downhill skiing turnover merchant.


Well done, Carltank.

 

[rofltown]

He is allready regarded as an elite midfielder......?

 

[Ron]

No surprise, Judd these days is comparable to Matt Priddis.
When he gets the ball players just zone off him because you know it'll be a turnover.

Not damaging at all.

 

[sunnyTEE]

What makes me even firmer is the amount of times I've read gambletank supporters roast Swan about his kicking when it comes to comparisons between him a the bald, mercenary, chin slapping, my girlfriend is a ****, DOG.

 

[Silvagnis]

We should have traded for Rhyce Shaw.

Post of the year.

Shows exactly why Judd isn't the Messiah, he just a very ordinary boy.

 

[wambat]

Considering Masten had over 80% disposal efficiency last week , even further highlights the raping WCE did to cantong.

 

[sunnyTEE]

I reckon Fev would rather the big toooveDOG hitting him lace out that your money grubbing, turncoat captain.

Oh how I wish Pratt was still around to see how hard he failed.

cantong ...cmon that doesn't even make sense

And yeah sure keep Masten and Kenedy and whoever else you picked up, and enjoy finishing bottom 4 for the next few years while we go for a few finals series

 

[STC]

That's not even factoring in how many of those possessions for Ablett and Selwood were contested.

judd has more contested possessions than both of those guys

So much anger from such a mild mannered guy! LOL!

Just skirt round the issues just like how Malthouse makes them skirt round the boundary! Great Game Plan Corridor isn't needed yeh??? Cheers Sunny

 

[STC]

Ablett averages more contested disposals than Judd, he'd be first if he hadn't missed three games. More contesteds per game, and a much better efficiency rate.

 

[rofltown]

Ok we're talking about 5% here that means that if Judd has 20 kicks 14 will be effective and if Ablett has 20 kicks 15 will be effective.

I mean jesus lets make a bigger deal out of nothing please.

Oh wait this is bay 13...continue with mindless bullshit..

 

[tcwaters]

That because Cross has about 300 h/balls & 100 kicks.

Anyway, (Regarding Judd) I wouldn't pay that much for such a poor disposal rate.

MilesR you big dog!!!

Whilst I was smashing beers last night you were sipping on them like they were Scotch aged 25 years!!!

Christ I was hammered.

Since both would be extremely disappointed with 20 disposals, I think it's safe to say that you're clutching at straws with that one. All it proves is that Ablett>>>Judd

 

[Mofra]

That because Cross has about 300 h/balls & 100 kicks.

Just like Ablett

Cross kicked a beautiful goal from 50m on Friday night, just sailed through, hit it when it counted. Awesome player, cost us pick 56.

Worth noting that no 5 on the list, Matty Boyd (who would be leading our B&F this year) was rookie listed from Frankston 2nds (that'd be the player with more possessions and a higher efficiency than Judd).

 

[GuzzLG]

First he lost his pace, now he lost the ability to kick. LOL, what a horrible trade by the scum.

 

[Mofra]

Not quite correct - he lost his hair first, then his sense of loyalty.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Masten will embarass the Tankers for the next 12 years

 

[Power King]

Everytime Judd kicks a clanger, he wasn't the one that kicked the ball, and the receiver should have teleported to where the ball was moving anyway.

Nicole Kidman also says hi.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

10. Cameron Bruce - 80%
23. Brent Moloney - 75%

Bruce & Beamer looking pretty good on possessions & efficiency there!

2 of our mids in that top 25 list, and more than holding their own as far as ball-use is concerned - not bad for a team rebuilding like we are

Come to think of it, looking at Jack Grimes' average possession count & general efficiency, he'd compare very well to the players on that list if he'd not been out injured for a sizeable portion of the season...
