Smudge had a deceptive turn of pace, Hugill is deceptively slow
Smith was generally better at winning aerial challenges
Smith made more and better quality runs - this helped Smudge be a better provider (he was actually a really good crosser of the ball) whereas Hugill's career stats average one assist per season
Hugill not fit to lace Smudge's boots
Not fit to lace Kelly's either
Are we going to have this ridiculous cart hippophilia when Hugill scores once every 6-7 games?
