I recall Judd being lauded for his disposal early in his career, it wasn't all about his pace.
Was Judd's apparent weaker ball use later in his career more of a symptom of his heavy battering ram game style?
Has Ablett Jnr's super efficient ball use also tapered off given his change to the heavier game style up north, will it return at Geelong?
Is a big part of the difference a result of outside versus inside possessions?
We cannot use stats for this, because the tell is at the receivers end not the kickers. There is no stat that tells you how easily someone is able to take possession.
