Judd will be wearing yellow and black
« on: May 11, 2007, 04:58:37 AM »
and Kerr, Embley, Glass and co. The Eagles have been allowed to wear the WA state guernsey in this year's heritage round ???.

Quote
the league has approved West Coast wearing the WA state jumper, which resembles the Richmond jumper, in the 1970s-themed weekend.

But the blue-and-gold Eagles can be black and gold in heritage round without offending Richmond.

The Eagles, who were not formed until 1987, will wear a gold jumper with a black sash against Brisbane at Subiaco on July 7.

It is a replica of the WA jumper worn in the first state-of-origin match, on October 8, 1977, in which the Sandgropers beat Victoria by 94 points.

Chris Judd is seemingly really struggling with injury. It seems the Eagles are really pushing him, I get the feeling that there may be a strain on the player club relationship. If Judd needs to rest, why dont they rest him? If Judd needs to rest and there pushing him to play to save there season...then Judd himself may get to the point of saying stuff it. Im outta here!

So whats going on people- is Judd injured ?

and if he is why are the eagles persisting with playing there most devastating player ?

and if hes not injured- why does Judd look as though he is ?

Anyway, we should look at this situation coz this could get out of hand at the eagles.

Judd is playing a fair in the forward line because of that groin injury:

Judd being saved for finals
Lyall Johnson | August 13, 2007

WEST Coast captain Chris Judd will spend less time on the ball in the last three home-and-away games in a bid to have him at his best for the finals.

The Brownlow medallist has been struggling with a groin injury and has not trained for the past month. Yesterday, he managed only 11 possessions.

Asked whether the move to play Judd in the forward line was strategic or a workload issue, Worsfold said it was "a bit of both".

"It's a little bit about how much work we can get out of him. I don't think he came off the ground too many times … so we got more ground time out of him. But he spent most of it forward and that will vary over different weeks," Worsfold said.

"I believe our doctors know what the injury is and they knew prior to this week. But we've had a second opinion over the weekend and we believe we've got a good grasp of what the injury is and the management of that and we'll work through that for the remainder of the year. We're confident that he will be able to play some good football later in the year."
