Who was better in 2011?

[PaulP]

Well if Ratten liked Murphy way more than Judd (not saying that was the case) that could have had a huge influence.

Murphy had a great year in 2011, far better than this year but Judd was on another level and is probably the prime reason why Murphy isn't as good anymore.

mbb, your case will continue to be on shaky foundations if you rely on things like this. The stats I quoted earlier would indicate that Murphy had a better year, although there really wasn't anything major separating them.

Judd's great inside work definitely helped Murphy. Of that there is no question. I've said before Murphy is at his best as an outside receiver / distributor and goal sneak / small forward. He was never built to do inside grunt work, and has battled manfully in this position under less than ideal circumstances.
