No he wasn't. In a 7 game period between rounds 7 and 14, he only polled 5 votes on the Carlton board. In comparison, Murphy polled 25.
In fact, he was only deemed BOG once in the first 15 games of the season, 2nd BOG twice, 3rd BOG twice. Murphy 5 times BOG and thrice 2nd BOG, 3rd BOG thrice.
As much as we love him, 5 times in our best 3, in the first 15 weeks of the season, while a great achievement for most, is below par for Judd.
Granted he had an excellent five week period following where he was our best in 4 of 5 games, but take out that period and its 21 games for the solitary BOG and 5 times in our top 3. Looking at it objectively, he's had a quiet season by his standards, with a short period of dominance, not the other way round.
And before you reply, of course it's all relative when discussing Chris Judd. Even a quiet season from him is a fair bit better than what the majority can produce.
