Judd/Swan? Don't care. Thread is Carlton top four? NOWrong.
Swans had a very good year, but Judds has been better.
However (and notwithstanding an average of over 6 more possesions per game):
- Swan is 2nd in the AFL (Behind Ablett) for average disposals per game at an average of 32.8.
- Judd ranks a lowly 25th at an average of 26.2 per match.
*This number gets a whole worse when you consider Swan gets a lot more of the ball than Judd.
- Judd is 1st in the AFL with inside 50's at an average of 6.0 per game. Swan is 6th with an average of 5.2.
- Judd is 1st in the AFL for Clearances. Swan is 7th.
- Judd is 3rd in the AFL for 1st possesions. Swan is 20th.
- Judd is 19th in the AFL for contested possesions. Swan doesnt rate in the top 50.*
- Judd is 27th for tackles averaging 5.6 per game. Swan isnt even in the top 50.
Anyone can rack up cheap uncontested possesions running around the back half of the ground. A. Carrazo from a few years ago as a point in case.
Forgot to add Judd acomplishes this with the number one tagger each week. Swan rarely cops a heavy tag after Didak and co.
Moral of the story? Judd is clearly the more damaging player. You'd have rocks in your head to think otherwise.
