Judd is made to look good by the blocks put on by the other Eagles midfielders. Both he and Cousins get that all important few steps break on their opponent due to screens and shepherds. Our midfield is being cut to ribbons and other than Walker appear to be as slow as treacle.
Spot on Wojee. Judd is brilliant but his job his made a lot easier by the work his teammates do off the ball. If Walks got the same support from his teammates he'd be unstoppable.
And just on the tagging. I'd much rather see him learning from the best in the business (Judd, Akker, McLeod etc) than see him getting cheap kicks in the back half like Campo and Stevens. Walks has been our ONLY accountable midfielder for the last 7 weeks. Our young guys learning that kind of accountability will be a key to our rise back up the ladder.
